We know it’s hard moving to a new community, especially one outside the continental United States. Our job at Compass is to assist you with every aspect of your move. For your convenience, we’ve compiled the following tips. This information will help you enjoy a seamless transition to your new home. For Personal Service and a Free Quote on your Move to Hawaii: Please call a Compass International Representative toll free at 866-305-5442. Time Frame for Transport: In most cases, Compass can have your household goods and auto to your new location within one month of pickup, often much earlier. When planning your move, please take into account that transit times will increase during the peak season and will significantly decrease in the slower months. Transporting your Auto or Boat to/from Hawaii: It is generally considered more prudent and economical to ship your existing household goods, rather than sell them and repurchase at the inflated Island rate of replacement. It will also be more economically sound to ship a newer vehicle, rather than replace it upon arrival. When returning to the continental U.S., please plan to speak to your Compass Representative to determine the economic practicality of shipping versus selling and replacing your household goods, boat and auto. Moving your Pets to Hawaii: We offer the following helpful hints for transporting your pet to Hawaii: You will need to arrange for your pet to have rabies and booster shots. They cannot be less than three months apart and not more than one year apart. All pets must have an identification microchip implanted before entering Hawaii. Animals should have passed a blood serum test, with results emailed to Hawaii officials by the testing lab. Pets cannot enter the state until 120 days after the blood sample is received by the state. Hawaii officials must receive a health certificate from the pet’s veterinarian at least 10 days prior to the animal’s arrival. This must include all test results and health certificates and emailed directly from the vet’s office. At the airport terminal in Hawaii, Animal Quarantine officials will inspect your pet, verify that all paperwork is in order, and make arrangements to release your pet to you. Compass International recommends you contact the Department of Agriculture at least five months in advance of your move at the following address: Hawaii Department of Agriculture Animal Quarantine Station 99-951 Halawa Valley Street Aiea, Hawaii 96701-5602 Phone: 808-483-7151 Visit HI's Dept of Agriculture Web Site Additional information for your move to Hawaii can be found on our Links page.
