Shipping furniture and contract furnishings to the United States

If you need to ship contract furniture to the U.S. - from New York to Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other cities- ExportUSA offers a complete logistics solution

If you are a contract furniture manufacturer and need to ship furniture to the United States to renovate a retail chain or hotel, you require a range of highly specialized services that must be carefully synchronized. Shipping furniture to New York or Miami is just a small part of the process needed to ensure the furniture is assembled in the store or hotel.

Beyond the shipment of furniture to the U.S., you will need:

• Seamless customs clearance in the United States.
• Transportation to a local warehouse near the installation site.
• Scheduled deliveries to stores, restaurants, or hotels as needed.
• On-site furniture assembly by professionals who understand your products.

Italian furniture is currently experiencing a strong demand in the U.S. market. Many contract furniture manufacturers are shipping furniture to New York, Miami, and other major American cities to update retail spaces and hotels. ExportUSA has extensive experience providing all the necessary services for contract furniture manufacturers exporting to the United States.

We have built a network of specialized, field-tested service providers who can handle every step of the process—from disassembled furniture in the manufacturer’s warehouse to fully installed furnishings in stores, restaurants, and hotels in New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and other U.S. cities.

Shipping contract furniture to the United States

For contract furniture manufacturers shipping to the U.S. to renovate a retail chain, logistics is a crucial part of the process. ExportUSA provides pickup, export documentation preparation, and overseas shipping services.

Customs procedures, clearance, and importation of furniture into the USA

Handling customs clearance efficiently is essential to meeting delivery deadlines. A smooth import process ensures the furniture arrives in the U.S. without complications.

Storage and warehousing of disassembled furniture near the installation site

Retail renovations often require multiple furniture containers to be stored before delivery to the final location. If the store is in a major city like New York, a nearby warehouse is essential to avoid costly delays. ExportUSA has a network of warehouses in strategic locations across the U.S.

Transport from warehouse to store, restaurant, or hotel

Many retail and hotel locations in the U.S. are in high-traffic urban areas where large trucks cannot easily access delivery points. In cities like New York, permits may be required for deliveries, which are often scheduled for off-peak hours. ExportUSA has the experience and contacts to handle last-mile logistics efficiently.

Furniture assembly and installation

Contract furniture for retail and hotel renovations is unique and requires expert assembly. ExportUSA collaborates with a specialized Italian company with offices, warehouses, and personnel in the U.S. We can arrange:

• A full assembly team, including supervisors.
• Specialized assemblers, with an Italian supervisor from the manufacturer.

Union compliance for furniture assembly in the U.S.

In cities like New York, furniture installers must be members of labor unions. Without union membership, furniture cannot be installed in many locations. ExportUSA provides access to union-certified Italian assemblers who specialize in contract furniture installation in compliance with U.S. labor regulations.

Temporary work visas for supervisors

If your company wishes to send a supervisor to oversee furniture assembly in the U.S., a temporary work visa is required. ExportUSA has extensive experience handling U.S. work permits for short-term assignments.

Supervision and logistics coordination

For companies seeking a fully managed solution, we offer project supervisors to oversee every stage of furniture installation, including:

• Receiving and storing furniture in warehouses.
• Managing deliveries from warehouses to installation sites.
• Coordinating assembly teams for efficient installation.
