What Are the Costs of International Removals to Denmark?
Moving to Denmark can be expensive. However, we will ensure costs are as reasonable as possible. Whether you are moving from a small flat or a large home, or relocating an office, we can build a package that fits your budget.
- Part-load shipping: A container fills up with many people’s goods, and you pay only for the space you occupy—a great solution for a smaller move.
- Full load shipping: Book a 20ft or 40ft container to move a full home or office load.
The final quote depends on several factors, including your location, the shipment’s weight, and the shipping service you select. You will receive a full breakdown of the costs before you commit from your designated move coordinator. Other charges may include:
- Customs fees and duties
- Packing and unpacking service
- Storage service if required
- Special care for fragile or valuable goods
Choose Your Ideal Shipping Method
Removals.co.uk provides a wide range of flexible shipping options to Denmark from the UK:
Air Freight
If timing is the most critical factor for your move, air freight is the best shipping method. This option is at the higher end of pricing. Quotes are based on the shipment’s overall weight. You can pick up your things at the airport, or let our knowledgeable team, which specialises in international shipments, arrange delivery to your new address in Denmark. Many of our clients use air freight for items they need immediately and sea freight for their remaining belongings.
Road Freight
Road freight is an efficient way to move removals from the UK to Denmark. It is quicker than sea freight and much more affordable than air freight. You can choose from shared services (where your items ship with other items for a lower cost) and dedicated services (where you arrange an exclusive vehicle). URoadfreight offers timely shipping and reliable departure times, so you don’t have to wait for your items to arrive.
Sea Freight
Sea shipping is a practical, cost-effective option for moving large quantities of goods to Denmark. You can share a container and pay only for the space you need, or choose a full 20ft or 40ft container. For context, a 20ft container can hold about the contents of a three-bedroom house, while a 40ft container can hold the contents of a larger house. Working with international shipping partners lets usto guarantee your goods arrive on time at your new home in Denmark. Our services also allow you to track your shipment.

Removals to Denmark: frequently asked questions
What documentation is needed when moving from the UK to Denmark post Brexit?
A valid passport, an itemised and valued inventory of everything being shipped, and a declaration of personal property for the Danish customs authorities. You will also be asked for evidence of the move itself, a tenancy agreement or property contract, an employment contract, or a certificate of residence. For valuable items, they may request receipts showing you have owned them for at least six months.
Do I have to pay duty or VAT on my belongings?
Usually not, provided you qualify for transfer of residence relief. The main condition is that you must have lived outside the EU for at least 12 consecutive months and intend to keep using the goods for their original purpose. Since Brexit ,this applies to moves from the UK.
Is there a deadline for getting my belongings to Denmark?
Yes. Your belongings must arrive in Denmark no later than 12 months after you move there. Goods can also arrive up to six months before you do, but you must provide security for duty and VAT in that case.
Can I sell or lend my belongings after they arrive?
Not within the first 12 months without a duty consequence. If you lend out, pledge or rent out goods imported under the relief during the first 12 months after bringing them into Denmark, customs duty and VAT become payable.
How long do removals from the UK to Denmark take?
Denmark is a road route, so transit typically takes 6 to 12 days from collection to delivery, depending on whether you book a full load or a part load. A part load adds consolidation time because the vehicle departs when it is full.
Can I include my car in the shipment?
Vehicles are subject to their own rules and are not covered by the general personal effects relief in the same way. Danish vehicle registration and taxation are handled separately and can be substantial, so confirm the position for your specific vehicle before you commit to shipping it. Alcohol, tobacco and professional equipment are also treated under special rules.
Do you offer a complete packing service?
Yes. Full or partial professional packing using export-grade materials, with a dedicated move coordinator handling the shipment from survey through to delivery.
How are charges calculated?
Principally, the volume of your shipment, plus the level of packing you choose and any access constraints at either end – narrow streets, parking restrictions or upper floors that require a shuttle vehicle. A free survey turns those into a fixed, itemised written quote.
Do I need a visa or residence permit?
UK citizens planning to stay in Denmark longer than 90 days need the appropriate residence and work permit, and you will need to register for a CPR number upon arrival. Settle your immigration status before your goods travel, as your customs relief depends on the move being genuine.
Do international movers offer an insurance policy?
Reputable international relocation companies like ours offer insurance coverage for loss or damage to your personal property, helping cover related expenses.
Is it possible to ship pets to Denmark while removing personal property?
Although our company specialises in international relocation of people and their belongings, we also have proven pet-shipping partners who can help with transport to Copenhagen.
