Moving internationally is more complicated than moving to another city. The regulations are stricter and the cost much higher. If it is a permanent move it is a must to check out packing instructions so you won’t have problems with the customs department. It is not advisable to bring with you heavy furniture coz the cost of shipping it might be the same as buying a new one, unless you are carrying a priced antique furniture then this is an exception. Most of the things you will bring are mostly personal stuff and valuable items so great care must be given in packing those things.
