Choose a professional international moving company

International moving is a profession in its own right. Many aspects simply cannot be arranged independently and are far more complex than a move within the Netherlands. Consider, for example, the extensive customs procedures involved in international relocations.
A professional international moving company has the experience, international quality certifications and global network required to ensure your relocation is handled safely and efficiently.

Recognised international moving companies can take care of:

• Customs clearance procedures for household goods (import and export clearance)
• International transport planning, including air and sea freight
• Secure packing in accordance with international standards
• Coordination with overseas partners
• Temporary storage options in case of unforeseen circumstances
• Personal guidance from a dedicated Move Coordinator

As an internationally certified moving company with its own customs-certified warehouse and professional staff, De Haan relocation ensures that your valuable possessions are transported with care and according to strict quality standards, a level of assurance that is difficult to achieve independently. 

What does an international move cost?

The cost of an international move varies from case to case. No two international relocations are the same. Several factors determine the final cost, including:

• Destination and distance
• Volume of your household goods
• Required customs formalities
• Method of transport (road, sea freight or air freight)
• Temporary or long-term storage due to timing constraints
• Additional relocation services and insurance

International moving costs are therefore always tailored to your situation. An international move involves much more than simply transporting boxes. especially when relocating overseas and shipping your beloved belongings by container. Choosing the lowest price may lead to higher costs in the long run. Therefore, selecting quality, reliability and transparency is essential.

Can you just move to another country?

In many cases, you cannot simply move to another country without restrictions. Each country has its own regulations regarding residency, work permits, import of goods and customs procedures. Different rules apply within the EU compared to relocations outside Europe.

For an international move, it is essential to check in advance:

• Whether you are permitted to settle in the destination country
• Which documents are required
• Which goods may be imported

An experienced international moving company will guide you step by step, ensuring you avoid unexpected issues.
