From Silicon Valley tech contracts to family reunions, AMC turns moving from Ireland to the United States into a streamlined, one-stop service.

We export-pack your household goods, load them into secure lift-vans or containers, manage US customs, and deliver anywhere from Manhattan high-rises to Texas ranches.

Transport Options

Sea freight: 20 ft/40 ft containers sail weekly, reaching US East Coast ports in 12-15 days on water; allow 4-6 weeks door-to-door including customs. Air freight: ideal for personal essentials or corporate relocations needing 7-10 day door-to-door delivery (timings may vary).

Customs & Docs

Personal effects older than 12 months can enter duty-free under US Customs Form 3299. AMC pre-files the Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2), negotiates any USDA inspections, and arranges delivery after CBP release. New items, alcohol, and restricted goods may attract duty. We will advise case-by-case.

Need storage before or after shipping? We offer secure Naas warehousing and partner facilities in USA. See storage for more info.
