Europe Moving FAQ

How much does it cost to move to Europe from the US?

Depends on your inventory size, destination, and origin coast. A 1-bedroom typically runs $3,000 to $5,000 by sea; larger homes and inland deliveries cost more. Unlike weight-based movers, we quote from your itemized inventory and guarantee the price in writing.

How long does shipping to Europe take?

Sea freight typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from the East Coast and 5 to 7 weeks from the West Coast, plus packing and customs time. Air freight delivers in 1 to 2 weeks. Your move coordinator gives exact dates with your quote.

Will I pay import duty on my household goods?

In most cases, no. Every country on this page offers duty free entry for used household goods when you are genuinely transferring your residence. Conditions vary by country, and we prepare the paperwork for you. Newly purchased items may be treated differently.

What can't I ship to Europe?

Restricted items vary by country but typically include alcohol and tobacco beyond allowances, weapons, plants, and certain foods. Your coordinator reviews your inventory line by line before anything is packed.

Should I ship by sea or air?

Sea for a full household, since the cost per cubic foot is far lower. Air for the essentials you need in your first weeks. Many clients split the difference: a few boxes by air, the household by sea.

Can you ship my car to Europe?

Yes. Container (with your household goods) or RoRo, door to door, with all vehicle paperwork handled. Vehicles are treated differently from household goods for import duty in most of Europe; your coordinator will walk you through it.
