Dublin to USA Removals

Moving from Dublin to the USA? J Hanway Removals & Storage provides expert international removal services connecting Ireland with New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and cities throughout the United States. Whether you’re relocating for career opportunities, joining family, or pursuing the American dream, we ensure a seamless transatlantic relocation.

Moving from Dublin to the USA

The USA is one of the most popular destinations for Irish emigrants, with strong cultural and family connections. We’ve refined our American removal service over decades of transatlantic experience.

Transport Options: USA moves use dedicated sea freight shipping containers from Dublin to major US ports (New York/New Jersey, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Houston, Savannah). We offer full container load (FCL) for exclusive use or shared container (LCL) for smaller moves. Both include door-to-door service with professional packing in Dublin and delivery to your US address.

Professional Packing for American Moves: American properties vary enormously across the vast country—from New York high-rise apartments to California suburban homes, Boston brownstones, Chicago condos, and Texas ranch houses. Our packing team arrives with appropriate export-grade materials: reinforced shipping cartons, bubble wrap, furniture blankets, and custom wooden crating for valuable items. We maintain detailed inventories essential for US customs clearance.

Customs and Import Regulations: Moving household goods to the USA requires comprehensive customs documentation including detailed inventory lists with values, passport copies, and visa documentation proving US residency eligibility. Our experienced customs team prepares all paperwork and coordinates with US Customs and Border Protection. We ensure compliance with US regulations including restrictions on certain food items, plants, and wooden furniture requiring fumigation certificates.

USA Delivery Coordination: The USA’s size means delivery logistics vary significantly by destination. East Coast destinations (New York, Boston, Washington DC) have shorter ocean transit. West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle) requires longer shipping or cross-country trucking from East Coast ports. Our US partners coordinate final delivery, navigating state regulations, apartment building requirements, and residential access considerations.

Typical Timeline: Sea freight to USA takes 4-8 weeks depending on destination port. New York/East Coast: 4-5 weeks ocean transit plus 1-2 weeks customs and inland delivery. West Coast via Los Angeles: 6-8 weeks. Add time for customs clearance and inland trucking to final destination.
