How We Take Care of Your Belongings: a Visual Guide

A relocation is, more often than not, pretty stressful. If you move to another neighborhood, city, or to another country, it means you have to adapt to a new environment and make this new place yours, deal with paperwork and, if you move with your family, that you also need to take care of your loved ones.

As a moving specialist, our aim is to make sure the relocation itself is not one of these concerns.

To give you a better idea of what moving with ASI Movers means, let us introduce you to how we take care of your belongings as well as to our 7-step relocation process.

ASI Movers team would like to address a special thank you this week to the family who kindly let us document their move, and for their thoughtful insights!

Relocating With Valuable Art Pieces – An ASI Movers’ Story!

Relocating with your art pieces can be stressful.

When moving from one place to another, it can indeed be challenging to find elements surrounding you which bring you comfort, and the feeling of being home. Some elements though, especially the ones that are meaningful to you such as art pieces you chose, are among these things that can help you appropriate a new home. 🌏

However, how to protect these master pieces, these fragile items and their details you care about? 🖼

At ASI Movers, moving is our art. Our expertise enables you to enjoy your art piece wherever you relocate, without even noticing that you moved! 🌟

We pack with care and design a solution adapted to your items and your relocation project for you to leave your special objects move lightheartedly!

The Painting

We thank Christian de Laubadère for granting us the pleasure to admire and move one of his beautiful paintings, which are combined with antique fabrics, printed paper and sculpted coifs. At the meeting point between a traditional Chinese visual vocabulary and European paintings, his "Necks" series focuses on the backs of women's heads and their hairstyles, jewelry, and clothing.

We would also like to thank ArtCN gallery which landed us the painting used in this video and thus trusted our expertise in moving delicate art pieces.

How to Move to/from China With Your Pet?

You are soon to relocate from/to China and you already sorted out moving your furniture? Awesome! But how about your pet?
What are the Chinese regulations regarding the moving process? Which documents you need to provide?
ASI Movers compiled a guide to help you navigate China’s pet entry-exit requirements.

Is it in your pet’s best interest to relocate with you?

At ASI Movers, we know that your pet is a member of your family. You have a special bound with him/her, and leaving your best friend behind is something hard to consider.
Nevertheless, as for humans, traveling when old or sick is never advised...
As such if your pet is one of these situations, you might consider finding him/her a temporary or a brand new home. Yet, if your best friend is not in one of those conditions requiring extreme decisions. ASI Movers team assures you a stress-free, event free process.

What about the Chinese regulations?

Starting from May 1st, 2019, China applied some changes regarding pet relocation. Animals passing the test inspection and coming from these countries (New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, French Polynesia, Hawaii, Guam, Jamaica, Iceland, The United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Macao) will no longer be subject to quarantine.
However if your pet is not entering from the mentioned countries, you can still avoid quarantine, only and only if, the pet is microchipped, vaccinated for rabies twice, and has a rabies titer test done.
With that being said, if your pet does not respond to these criteria, it will be required to spend 30 days in quarantine, fees are around 300 RMB. Afterwards your pet will be released, if it is determined to be healthy and passed all the tests successfully.

ASI Movers will advise to notify Chinese customs of your pet’s arrival to China.

Relocating to China

Now that you have taken the decision to switch home for the entire family, let’s go more in depth into the process and requirements we will handle with you.

Your pet will transit by Air cargo.
We will take care of the customs clearance at his/her arrival in China and deliver her/him to your residence.

Please note that this solution may require a quarantine of 30 days as suggested above.

Documents you will need to provide:

  • Your passport copy

  • A copy of your air ticket

  • As stated before, your animal will be required to have a microchip and you must provide us with the related documents.

  • Rabies vaccination record (issued more than 30 days and less than a year before travel),the record must be issued by Shen Pu government vet.

  • Your pet’s health certificate, which must be issued 7 days before departure

ASI Movers going beyond moving for the Van Cleef & Arpels’ Exhibition in Beijing

At ASI Movers, we are dedicated to provide our partners the fittest and most effective service possible.
From April 21st to August 5th 2018, the Today Art Museum in Beijing was hosting the Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition “When Elegance Meets Art”. The famous high-end jewelry brand was displaying chronologically nearly 400 High Jewelry creations and precious objects as to introduce the evolution of Van Cleef and Arpels’ style.

The jewelries have been displayed in tailor-made displays fitting the exhibition's identity.

Transporting such elements meant finding safe and effective solutions specifically customized for them, ASI Movers went beyond moving the elements between Shanghai and Beijing and took charge of providing tailor-made wooden boxes (4 days span), packing, and crating the displays as for them to be safely delivered to their final destination.

Trust, effectiveness and professionalism are keys when it comes to moving fragile and high-end goods, and offering such built-to-suit services has been the occasion for ASI Movers to show what “moving in simplicity” means for us i.e. finding the solutions our partners need, even when it goes beyond traditional moving services. As stated: we see our clients as partners and as such do our best to help them to achieve their project.
