I wouldn't bother moving electrical goods. It is generally not worth shipping electrical goods to Europe from the US, as the cost of shipping, voltage differences, and import hassles outweigh the benefit of keeping your old appliances. Most large electrical items like TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines will not work due to voltage (120V in the US vs. 220-240V in Europe) and plug differences. Buying new items locally in Europe is often more cost-effective and is the recommended approach.

If you have files, films, and music on a computer, it would be a good idea to buy an external hard drive and move them over. They are so cheap these days, it's handy to have a few of them.

Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know about that link. I was not aware. I sent a request.

The general advice is don't ship.

Electronics are the most problematic as equipment designed for the US 120 v 60 hz system won't work with a 220 v, 50 hz supply.

Check things like phone and computer chargers, but they are likely to work on both.

The rest is deciding if the cost, general hassle,  and customs duties are worth bothering with when compared against buying new.

Thanks. I appreciate the guidance. We want to limit what we ship. We have looked at what we can purchase new once we are there. We will limit it to family pieces and irreplaceable items.
