If you have a travel agent that books these region travels, they also can provide you with referral services in many instances. Asian Tigers does much of the region. Might check some of the local forums for other international movers.

Might get a rough idea using this site consolidator:

if just personal effects, you probably just ship it lcl rather than using a full cntr; itd be cheaper. wrap up your stuff, throw it on pallets, shrink wrap em, and you're good to go.

pm me if you need add'l info. i have a network on this.

Be careful when shipping things on a container. My family did this before and a lot of stuff was broken or went "missing" in transit. And the company shipping the container will not take responsibility for it. If you've got smaller valuables, take them with you on the flight or ship them insured through UPS to your new address. It will get there safer, and you'll have insurance too if anything happens. Just my .02

+ you can get cargo insurance + there are tons of other variables which come into play. nevertheless, always keep valuables with you + take tons of photos and detailed packing lists. a lot of finger pointing occurs during cases like these.

Cargo insurance is pointless. Even if you have a detailed packing list you will spend months going back and forth with the cargo company trying to recover something out of it. So even if you buy the insurance keep in mind that your to have a major headache and your gonna have to play some games with them to get anything out of it. Plus, there's always things that are priceless like family photos and one-of-a-kind items which they will argue aren't insurable.

Kev-an int'l moving company, specializing in personal effects may be your best bet. imho, i'd reach out to those rather than the thousands of nvocc's who move typical freight such as k/d furniture, electronics, garments, etc.

i move a high vol of high val cntrs, weekly, w/cargo ins w/out issues on 1st and 2nd tier carriers. however, as others have indicated, you cannot place a monetary value on items that hold personal value.

all the best and hope it all works out for you bud!
