Moving from Turkey to the USA can seem overwhelming at first, but with the right planning and professional logistics support, the process can be smooth and stress-free. From packing and shipping to customs clearance, GK Han Logistics is here to manage your international move from start to finish.
📦 Packing Process for Moving to the USA
Proper packing is the most critical step to ensure the safety of your household goods.
Furniture is dismantled and wrapped securely against damage.
Electronics (TVs, computers, etc.) are packed with foam, cartons, and protective materials.
Fragile items (glass, porcelain, antiques) are double-wrapped and clearly labeled “Fragile.”
Carpets, curtains, and textiles are vacuum-packed to save space.
At GK Han Logistics, all packing is done in line with US customs standards to avoid issues at destination.
🚚 Shipping Options: Air or Sea?
When moving to the USA, you can choose between two main options:
✈️ Air Freight
Transit time: 5–7 days
Advantage: Very fast delivery
Disadvantage: Higher cost
Best for small volumes or urgent shipments.
🚢 Sea Freight
Transit time: 25–40 days
Advantage: Much more economical for larger shipments
Options: FCL (Full Container Load) or LCL (Less than Container Load)
GK Han Logistics helps you decide the best route by balancing cost and transit time according to your needs.
