Here’s your checklist for this task:
Via Ship
Via Air
Things to check with..
Consulate / Immigration & Legal experts / Expats :

And be prepared for a very, very thorough customs inspection. The value of your luggage will obviously be above the monetary limit for customes-free imports, and the amount will suggest commercial activity to the customs agents. So you need some sort of proof that you’re moving your household, otherwise they’ll have you pay import duties.
