Relocating internationally is exciting — but packing your entire life into boxes, navigating customs, and waiting weeks for your belongings can turn a new beginning into a logistical nightmare.
At International Shipping Commerce, we handle the heavy lifting (literally and figuratively). Whether you’re moving one room, a four-bedroom house, or relocating an entire executive team, our white-glove moving and relocation service ensures your personal belongings arrive safely, on time, and without hidden fees.
We combine freight forwarding expertise with household goods specialization — something most standard movers can’t offer.
One phone call. One coordinator. One invoice.
We manage everything:
Home packing (professional packing teams)
Transportation to port/airport
Export customs clearance
Main carriage (sea or air)
Import customs & duty consultation
Final delivery & unpacking at your new home
You don’t talk to freight forwarders, customs brokers, or trucking companies. You talk to your dedicated move coordinator.
Economy Sea Freight (6–10 weeks)
Your belongings move in a shared container (LCL) or dedicated 20ft/40ft container. Most affordable for full household moves.
Express Air Freight (5–10 days)
For urgent relocations, time-sensitive medical equipment, or when you can’t wait weeks for winter coats or work documents.
Partial Load
Moving a studio apartment or just 10-15 boxes? We consolidate with other household moves to save you money.
International moving involves more paperwork than commercial freight. We handle:
Detailed home goods inventory (required for most countries)
Duty-free customs clearance for used personal effects (many countries waive duties for bona fide relocations)
Prohibited items checks (no, you can’t ship your propane grill or houseplants)
We’ll tell you upfront what can’t move and what requires special permits.
Yes: Furniture, clothing, books, kitchenware, artwork, bicycles, small appliances, personal documents, children’s toys, tools, musical instruments.
No: Hazardous materials (paints, aerosols, batteries), perishable food, plants, flammable liquids, firearms (varies by country), illegal items.
Case-by-case: Vehicles, motorcycles, pianos, large safes, antiques over 100 years old. Contact us for a pre-assessment.
Who We Serve
Corporate Relocations – We work with HR departments to move employees and their families smoothly. Consolidated billing, relocation reports, and compliance with corporate travel policies.
Military & Diplomatic Moves – Experienced with specialized customs exemptions, secure handling, and unpredictable timelines.
Retirees & Expatriates – Moving to Mexico, Costa Rica, France, Vietnam, or Thailand? We know the local quirks and import rules.
Students – Moving dorm essentials or study-abroad luggage (economy shared container only).
Moving is stressful enough. Your shipping partner shouldn’t add to it.

At International Shipping Commerce, we understand that your logistics data — quotes, shipment tracking, customs documents, and client information — is highly sensitive. A slow or vulnerable website isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a business risk.
That’s why we’ve built our entire digital infrastructure on enterprise-grade security and high-performance server technology. Below is exactly how we deliver both.
Every page of our website — from the quote form to your tracking dashboard — is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption . You’ll see the padlock icon in your browser bar, confirming that:
All data between you and our servers is encrypted
No third party can intercept shipment details or payment information
Google recognizes our site as secure, boosting our search ranking
For your customers: When they enter sensitive information like addresses or payment details, they’re protected by bank-grade encryption.
We use an enterprise WAF that blocks malicious traffic before it reaches our servers. This stops:
SQL injection attempts
Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
Brute force login attempts
Automated bot scraping
Our network includes multi-layered DDoS mitigation that absorbs and filters attack traffic up to several terabits per second . Your access to our platform remains uninterrupted, even during large-scale attacks.
We don’t wait for problems to happen. Our system:
Creates offsite backups daily (retained for 30 days)
Runs automated malware scans every 24 hours
Offers one-click restore if anything goes wrong
For our internal team and any client portal users, we enforce secure browsing protocols that prevent malicious extensions, phishing sites, and unauthorized data access .
| Layer | Protection |
|---|---|
| Server | RAID-protected storage, redundant power, biometric access controls |
| Network | Firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), 24/7 monitoring |
| Software | Daily security patches, PHP 8.2+, locked-down permissions |
| Data | Encrypted at rest and in transit, PCI-compliant payment processing |
Next-Generation Hardware: NVMe SSD Storage
Traditional hosting uses standard SSDs. We use NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs — the fastest consumer storage available today. NVMe drives deliver:
Read speeds up to 5x faster than standard SSDs
Database queries processed in milliseconds
Near-instant page loads for complex dashboards
LiteSpeed Web Server + HTTP/3
Most hosting companies use Apache or Nginx. We use LiteSpeed — an event-driven web server that handles high traffic without slowing down .
Combined with HTTP/3 (the latest web protocol), we achieve:
TTFB (Time To First Byte) under 200ms globally
Faster dynamic content (your tracking results, quotes, invoices)
Better mobile performance (HTTP/3 excels on cellular networks)
Global CDN (Content Delivery Network)
Our website content is cached on Cloudflare’s global edge network with 300+ points of presence worldwide . When you visit from:
| Location | Your request routes to |
|---|---|
| USA | New York, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles or Atlanta |
| Europe | London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris |
| Asia | Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong |
| Middle East | Dubai, Tel Aviv |
This means you’re never more than a few milliseconds from our server, regardless of where you’re shipping to or from.
We implement multi-layer caching:
| Cache Layer | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Browser cache | Static assets (logos, CSS) stored locally on your device |
| CDN edge cache | Product images, templates cached across 300+ locations |
| Server cache | Dynamic API responses cached for repeat requests (e.g., rate tables) |
| Database query cache | Frequently accessed shipment statuses served from memory |
PHP 8.2 — 20% faster than PHP 7.4
Brotli compression — Smaller file sizes than Gzip
Image optimization — Automatic resizing and WebP conversion
Minification — CSS, JavaScript, and HTML automatically compressed
Lazy loading — Images load only when you scroll to them
| Metric | Industry Average | ISC Performance |
|---|---|---|
| TTFB (US) | 300–500ms | 120–180ms |
| TTFB (Europe) | 400–600ms | 180–250ms |
| TTFB (Asia) | 500–800ms | 200–320ms |
| Full page load | 2.5–4 seconds | 0.8–1.5 seconds |
| Uptime guarantee | 99.9% (8hrs downtime/year) | 99.99% (~52 mins/year) |
| Concurrent users | 500–1,000 | 5,000+ |
Measured August 2025 – April 2026 using real user monitoring (RUM).
When we improve our website (which happens weekly), you won’t be kicked off. Our server architecture supports:
Graceful restarts — Existing connections stay open during updates
Socket activation — New connections accepted instantly, even during restarts
Rolling deployments — Updates propagate over hours, not all at once
Bottom line: You’ll never see a “503 Service Unavailable” or “Connection Refused” error while booking a shipment.
Our hosting infrastructure is provided by enterprise-grade partners that specialize in logistics and high-traffic platforms:
Cloudflare — WAF, CDN, DDoS protection, SSL
LiteSpeed — Web server with built-in caching
NVMe SSD storage — In-house dedicated servers, not shared “cloud” hosting
Independent tests confirm that our configuration ranks in the top 1% of hosting performance globally .
| Your Concern | Our Solution |
|---|---|
| “Is my quote data safe?” | 256-bit SSL + encrypted databases + daily backups |
| “Will the site crash during peak hours?” | LiteSpeed server + load balancing + 5,000+ concurrent user capacity |
| “I’m shipping from Asia — will the site be slow?” | Global CDN with PoPs in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong |
| “What if my payment is intercepted?” | PCI-compliant processing + 3D Secure authentication |
| “Can I trust your uptime?” | 99.99% SLA — less than 1 hour of downtime per year |
