Question 1

How do moving companies bill for time?

Accepted Answer

Standard is 'portal-to-portal' — from crew arrival at the origin to release at the destination — billed in 15-minute increments after a minimum (usually 2–4 hours).

Question 2

What insurance line should be on a moving invoice?

Accepted Answer

For interstate US moves, federal law requires either Basic Released Value (60¢/lb, free) or Full Value Protection (paid, shown as a line). For EU moves, show CMR insurance if applicable.

Question 3

Are moving services taxable?

Accepted Answer

In most US states, intrastate moves are taxable and interstate moves are not. In the EU, moving is standard-rated VAT. Confirm your state/country before invoicing.
