international mover of the year
From a new hire with a lump-sum benefit to an executive-level, full-service model, every employee move is unique. To effectively offer flexible corporate moving programs and tiered policies, you need a partner who can be equally adaptable in delivering them.
With Suddath, you have the best of both worlds: consistent, reliable, and highly rated customer service, coupled with the flexibility to meet any:
- Location. We can get your employees safely and successfully transitioned, everywhere you do business, or from every location you may be recruiting and moving employees around the globe. We understand and are fully versed in each country’s unique requirements and will advise you and your employees accordingly. Our global partners are selected after a rigorous process of vetting and training – only the best earn the right to work with us. We don’t outsource the move management process – you and your employees have the same partner throughout the journey and enjoy upfront, fully transparent pricing information and the benefits we can leverage to negotiate competitive rates and preferential routes.
- Size or type of move and transport method. We are experienced with moves of all types and sizes, through air, sea, and ground-based solutions that best fit your company program and employee needs. From less than container load (LCL) shipments to 40’ containers and custom-built, specialty crating for certain items, our experts take care of your employee’s belongings for safe and compliant handling and global transport, from origin to destination. See more about international transport options.
- Support level. Cross-border journeys are about so much more than the careful treatment of personal belongings – and our corporate moving specialists are with you and your employees every step of the way. Guided by the scope and goals of your moving policy and your employees’ needs, we deliver:
- Accurate virtual and in-person pre-move surveys and weight estimates to advise on the best transport method(s) and routes
- Full and compliant document preparation and customs declarations to help your employees fully understand the process and avoid costly delays
- Country-specific guides to prepare employees for what they can and cannot take with them, and guidelines on how best to protect or store items they may wish to keep if returning to origin location
- Guidance on adequate transit insurance coverage
- Optional services, including handling specialty items, temporary storage, pet transport, and unpacking/debris removal and cleaning.
Enjoy Peace of Mind
Cross-border moves provide tremendous opportunities, but they also involve risk. Trust your employees’ global moves to Suddath, and you’ll all rest easier, knowing you’re in safe, vetted and fully compliant hands. We also demonstrate our commitment to security, safety and compliance through our professional certifications and risk management tools:
FIDI-FAIMPLUS quality assurance
We’ve earned and maintain the world’s only recognized quality certification for professional international moving and employee relocation companies. The FAIMPLUS seal is how you know that we meet or exceed standards for quality, supply chain management, insurance, claims and customer feedback – just a few of the categories in a rigorous set of criteria to meet.
Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) Certification
CTPAT is a voluntary program provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to enhance cargo and international supply chain safety and improve the security of U.S. borders.
A key benefit of using a CTPAT-certified international mover is that you know your employee’s belongings are handled within the high standards set by the U.S. Custom and Border Protection (CBP). That translates directly into greater levels of accuracy and speed for you and your employees – we know exactly what’s in every container at all times, proactively address any security issues that arise, and reduce the number of CBP examinations and wait times at the border.
Navex Global® and Navex RiskRate® Management Tools
The safe and efficient transport of your employee’s personal belongings involves multiple people, processes, and partners – and certain elements of risk, too. That risk is even higher now, as we’re navigating the health, safety and economic challenges and uncertainties of a global pandemic.
At Suddath, compliance and risk-mitigation are built into our DNA. Not only do our own employees go through extensive training and vetting, but we engage the services of Navex Global® and their RiskRate® management tool for an additional layer of security and assurances that all external parties we work with can be trusted to deliver the same standard of integrity, service and care that we do.
Beyond benefiting from our commitment to and proven reputation for safety and compliance, there are plenty of other things you and your employees will gain by partnering with the Suddath international moving team.

Dedicated Move Coordinators and Counselors
The counselors and coordinators who work with your employees are not only well versed across the fundamentals of the global moving process, including customs, required documentation and international insurance coverage, but they also:
- Receive extensive training in communication and listening skills. If a problem arises, they are equipped to proactively handle it, and to make sure you and your employees are kept informed, every step of the way.
- Understand and empathize with the fact that moving can be a stressful process, particularly when it involves crossing borders, and are committed to making it as seamless as possible for all involved.
- Meet or exceed customer satisfaction standards. Customer feedback is essential to the work we do, and each team member is dedicated to meeting a minimum number of returned surveys with satisfactory achievement scores.
Project Managers
For those moves that require additional layers of personal attention and full control, leave them in our capable and experienced project managers’ hands. Acting as an extension of your own team, our dedicated project managers are empowered to handle every detail, make on-the-spot decisions, and ensure that moves stay on schedule and on budget.
This is my second time using Suddath for an international relocation, and the experience was just as exceptional as it was the first time 9 years ago. This move took place during the pandemic and therefore had many challenges, however I was treated with respect and patience and kept well informed throughout the process. I am thrilled with the condition of my items received and the professionalism of all employees that I connected with. Thank you!
