A clearer moving file

Keep one account of what is moving.

The inventory, permission questions and proposed shipment should describe the same belongings. Start a clear list now and keep changes visible as your move takes shape.

Build the household inventory

Give each part of the home a place.

Record the furniture, boxes and other goods, with quantities and dimensions where known. Identify vehicles or business goods separately so the team can ask the right questions.

Ask what permission applies.

Use the official removal-goods guidance to check the application process and conditions for your circumstances. Keep any authority correspondence with your own moving records.

Show what has changed.

If you add furniture, change the receiving address or plan a later shipment, tell the team. Ask the authority whether your paperwork needs to be updated as well.

The work around the belongings

A move you can discuss piece by piece.

Choose the support you want, then agree the work for the actual route and goods. We can plan a full-service household move or discuss selected items and packing needs.

Household removals

Bring the home into the survey.

Show the furniture, room contents, stairs and collection access. Full-service moves include dismantling and reassembly, with the scope described in your quotation.

Professional packing

Explain what needs special care.

Our team includes specialists with over 20 years of experience in international packing. Point out delicate finishes, glass and awkward pieces so the job can be planned around them.

Follow the right authority

Use the Caribbean Netherlands moving guidance.

Belastingdienst Caribisch Nederland publishes the removal-goods procedure for Bonaire. A permit and conditions apply to the relief described there; Customs decides the treatment for the individual move.

Start with the permit process.
Check the authority's application information before relying on relief. An initial shipping enquiry needs broad moving details, not copies of passports or other identity records.
Official moving guidance
Check any goods following later.
The authority has guidance on later or staged imports. Ask how the current conditions apply to your plan before splitting the belongings into separate shipments.
Later-import guidance
Raise an arrival-paperwork gap early.
If the goods may arrive before residence paperwork is complete, read the authority's separate guidance and ask what procedure applies. Do not assume arrival means the goods are ready for home delivery.
Goods-arrived guidance

Official sources checked 6 November 2026. Current publication or revision dates were not established for these topic pages. Confirm the applicable procedure; this page does not grant relief, permission or a release date.

Choose the final handover

Bring the receiving address into the quotation.

Name the actual Bonaire location and describe access for large items. A country name on its own does not explain where the move should finish.

Our help at destination: Our agents can assist with paperwork, collection from port and delivery to your home. Set out the help you want and check the route, address and charges in the proposed work.
The tasks you keep: You can choose shipping to port or handle your own paperwork. Make clear who will complete each receiving task before agreeing the handover.
The costs and conditions: Read the proposed work alongside any destination charges and authority requirements. Ask about unclear inclusions; full-service support does not automatically include every tax or other cost.

Practical Bonaire questions

What would help you plan the move?

Will sending an enquiry apply for my Customs permit?

No. The enquiry lets our team review the shipping and service request. The authority's permission process is separate; ask which procedure and evidence apply to your own circumstances.

Can I send part of the household later?

Tell us what you expect to send now and later. Check the official later-import guidance before dividing the shipment, and ask how the conditions apply. Do not assume the same paperwork automatically covers every consignment.

Can you include packing and furniture preparation?

Full-service moves include professional international packing, dismantling and reassembly. Show the team the pieces and agree the work in the quotation, including any handling needing closer attention.

What if I want shipping to port?

You can request that arrangement and manage the receiving side yourself. Ask where our work ends, what documents or handover are involved and which destination tasks and charges remain yours.

Should I include personal documents in the first form?

Keep the ordinary enquiry to the route, item list, quantities, receiving area and help you need. Do not send passports, residence records or payment documents through it. Any later document request needs an agreed appropriate channel.

Can the shipment begin in Bonaire?

Use the route-from option and tell us the destination. This direction needs its own review; it is not confirmed by guidance for moving into Bonaire. Discuss belongings leaving Bonaire.
