Yes. Through Sirva, Allied Malaysia provides tailored services for expatriates and corporate transferees, including temporary accommodation coordination, settling-in support, and school search assistance for families.

We’ve supported countless international assignees relocating into and out of Malaysia, particularly within Kuala Lumpur’s expat hubs such as Mont Kiara, Bangsar, and Ampang. With our global offices, Allied ensures a single point of contact for both the origin and destination of your move.

Humidity and heat can impact certain materials during transit or storage. That’s why Allied uses specialised packing materials that provide maximum protection in Malaysia’s tropical environment.

Our storage facilities are climate-controlled to prevent mould, warping, or deterioration of sensitive items like wooden furniture, electronics, and artwork. If you’re moving internationally, we also prepare items to withstand long sea voyages.

Relocating between West Malaysia and East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) often requires sea freight, as road transport isn’t available across the South China Sea. Allied Malaysia handles both domestic sea and air shipments, ensuring your belongings arrive safely in cities like Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, and Miri.

We manage all port logistics, documentation, and local delivery, making it as smooth as a standard interstate move. Your Personal Moving Consultant will guide you through timelines, insurance options, and tracking updates from start to finish.

Yes, but the process depends on the country you’re moving to and its import regulations. For example, Australia and Singapore have strict vehicle import rules, often requiring quarantine inspections and proof of ownership for more than 12 months.

At Allied Malaysia, we can coordinate international vehicle relocations, including documentation, customs brokerage, and safe transport by sea, as well as local or intercity moves.

When moving internationally, all shipments leaving Malaysia must go through customs clearance. You’ll need to prepare a detailed inventory list of your items, copies of your passport, visa, and relevant shipping documents.

Allied’s global network and in-country specialists can handle most customs procedures on your behalf, including the clearance of household goods, electronics, and vehicles (where permitted). We’ll also advise you on restricted or prohibited items, for example, alcohol, certain food items, and ivory products which cannot be shipped internationally.

Our teams regularly manage relocations from Malaysia to Singapore, Australia, the UK, and the Middle East, ensuring every aspect of customs documentation is compliant and stress-free.

Ideally, you should book your move at least four to six weeks in advance, especially during Malaysia’s peak relocation periods, such as school holidays or festive seasons like Hari Raya, Deepavali, and Chinese New Year. These months often see higher demand for movers, particularly in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru.

If you’re planning an international move, we recommend allowing even more time to prepare customs documentation and shipping arrangements. Allied Malaysia can still assist with short-notice relocations when possible, helping you finalise everything efficiently with the support of your dedicated Personal Moving Consultant.
