International moves
If you are leaving Finland for Germany, Sweden, Spain or anywhere in between, we move your entire home from your Finnish door to your new European one. One team handles the packing, the paperwork and the transport.
International moves usually go wrong in the gaps between the local mover, the freight company and the customs broker. We remove those gaps: one team packs your home in Finland, one contract covers the whole journey, and one contact person answers your questions until the last box is inside your new home.
We pick up from anywhere in Finland (Helsinki, Tampere, Oulu or a village in between) and deliver across Europe and worldwide.

Sweden, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain and the UK are our most common routes, but if there is a road to your new address, we can plan the move. Moving to Finland from Europe works the same way, in reverse.
🇩🇪 We also have German-language pages for moves between Finland and Germany, including the Finnlines ferry route Travemünde–Helsinki: Umzug Finnland–Deutschland and the guide Umzug nach Finnland.
🇪🇸 Spain, and the Costa del Sol ("Aurinkorannikko") in particular, is a popular destination for Finns. An estimated 25,000+ Finns live there, and Fuengirola has its own Finnish school and congregation. See our in-depth guide Muutto Espanjaan (in Finnish).
🇬🇧 The UK left the EU in 2021, so moves there now require a formal customs declaration. The ToR relief scheme, applied for in advance, can waive the usual import duty on your used household goods. See our in-depth guide Muutto Isoon-Britanniaan (in Finnish).
There is no price list for international moves, and there couldn't be one: the price depends on the volume (m³), the route, the schedule, possible combined loads and customs practices. Every move is priced individually.
How to get your price: fill in the quote form with the addresses and a rough volume estimate, and you'll get a clear, binding door-to-door total with no obligation to book. That one price covers packing, transport, paperwork and insurance.
FAQ
Finland to Germany is typically 3–7 days door to door: the Finnlines crossing Helsinki–Travemünde alone takes 30–31 hours, and loading, the road leg and delivery come on top. Sweden and Estonia are much faster. The Helsinki–Tallinn crossing takes only about 2 hours, so an Estonian move can be done in a single day. Destinations further west or south add road days. We confirm the exact schedule before booking.
There are three ways out of Finland. For continental Europe we take the Finnlines ferry Helsinki–Travemünde (30–31 hours, daily) and then the German motorway network. For the Baltics and Poland it is the short Helsinki–Tallinn crossing and then the E67 Via Baltica; Tallinn to Warsaw is about 1 050 km. For Sweden and Norway, the ferry to Stockholm leaves from Helsinki (about 18 h) or Turku (about 11 h). Your load stays in the same truck the whole way.
Not within the EU. Moving goods cross EU borders without customs formalities, and we handle the transport documents. Norway, Switzerland and the UK are outside the EU customs union: Norway needs form RD-0030 and 12 months of prior residence abroad, Switzerland needs form 18.44 in duplicate plus six months of prior personal use of the goods, and the UK needs a formal declaration for every consignment. We prepare the paperwork with you before departure.
Yes, part loads are welcome on every route. You pay only for the space you use, and if your dates are flexible we can combine your load with another going the same way, which brings the price down. Tell us what needs to travel and we will work out the share. Open shared departures are listed anonymously on our Finnish departure list.
The routes
Finland is a peninsula, so every move to the continent starts with a sea crossing. There are three ways out, and which one we choose decides how long your move takes. On all three our truck drives aboard and your load stays in the same vehicle, so nothing is transferred at the port.
30–31 hours, daily, with Finnlines. It is the only direct ro-ro link between Finland and continental Europe. From Travemünde the German motorway network reaches everywhere: Hamburg is a short hop and Berlin roughly 250 km away. This is the route for Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
About 2 hours and about 81 km, with Tallink Silja, Eckerö Line (2 h 15) or Viking Line (2 h 30). Departures are very frequent throughout the day. From Tallinn the E67 Via Baltica runs south: Tallinn–Riga about 310 km, Riga–Vilnius about 290 km, Tallinn–Warsaw about 1 050 km. This is the route for the Baltics and Poland.
Helsinki–Stockholm overnight: about 18 h with Viking Line, about 20 h 30 with Tallink Silja. Turku–Stockholm is shorter: about 11 h with Viking Line. From Stockholm the road continues into Sweden and on to Norway.
Finland to Germany is typically 3–7 days door to door: loading, the 30–31-hour crossing, the road leg and delivery. Destinations further west or south add road days on top of that. Sweden and Estonia are much faster: an Estonian move can be done in a single day, because the crossing takes only two hours. We confirm the exact schedule before you book.
Customs
For most destinations there is nothing to do. Moving goods travel without customs formalities between EU countries, including Sweden, Estonia, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Poland, Austria, Spain, Latvia and Lithuania. We prepare all the transport documents either way.
Three destinations are different, and getting them wrong costs time at the border:
We prepare the declaration and the inventory list together with you before departure, so the border crossing is paperwork you have already done.
Tell us the destination, your home size and rough dates, and we'll send a clear door-to-door offer.
