International removals from Tiverton often carry a business. The town holds 22,291 people in mid Devon, close enough to the M5 that a great many people run businesses from home here. When one of those households moves abroad, part of what travels is not household goods at all.
International Removals Companies is a route matching platform, not a physical removal company. Your enquiry goes to vetted movers in the AGM Group network, and the partner best suited to your destination comes back with a single quote.
For international movers, business equipment, stock, client files and years of paper records are a different category from personal effects. Some destinations treat commercial goods separately for duty, and relief on a transfer of residence generally covers a household and not a business.
The paper is the harder half. Client records, financial files and anything holding personal data about other people carry obligations that follow you across a border, and a box of files in a shipping container is not a considered arrangement.
The relief a moving company works to is written around a household. Tools of a trade sometimes qualify and trading stock generally does not, and a destination that spots commercial quantities in a household shipment will ask about it.
So list business items separately and describe them plainly. A firm that puts a workshop's worth of equipment on an inventory as sundry items is inviting exactly the inspection you want to avoid.
Client files, accounts and anything holding personal data about other people, which international movers simply load as boxes, should be dealt with deliberately: retained where they have to be, securely destroyed where they do not, and moved only where there is a reason.
Shipping four boxes of old client files across an ocean because nobody had time to sort them is a decision by default. Take an afternoon before the survey. It reduces the volume, it reduces the risk, and it is easier here than at the other end.
Volume and destination set the shipping. Sorting the office before the survey is one of the simpler ways to drop a band.

Exeter is half an hour down the M5 and Taunton is not much further, so the choice of international movers here is better than most of mid Devon.
Ask whether they have handled a home office move and how they listed the business items. A firm that separated them on the inventory has done it properly.
Being paid abroad in another currency is part of most business relocations, so we include access to currency exchange through trusted partners.
Export entry and shipping paperwork come from the matched firm, worked up from the valued list you hand over.
Keep household effects and business items visibly separate on that list, with values against both. It is the difference between a straightforward clearance and a conversation about commercial imports.
Coming home, relief on a transferred residence covers the household. Business goods are assessed on their own terms, and GOV.UK sets both out.
Usually, and it is not household effects. List it separately, because relief is written around a household.
It generally falls outside relief entirely. A destination that spots commercial quantities will ask about them.
Deal with them deliberately: retain what you must, securely destroy what you need not, and move only what has a reason.
Records and stock are volume like anything else. Sorting the office before the survey frequently drops a band.
Visibly separate from household effects, described plainly and valued. Sundry items is what prompts an inspection.
