International moves
Leaving Finland for Germany, Sweden, Spain or anywhere in between? We move your entire home from your Finnish door to your new European one — packing, paperwork and transport handled by one team.
International moves usually fail in the gaps — between the local mover, the freight company and the customs broker. We remove the 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.
Pickup works from anywhere in Finland — Helsinki, Tampere, Oulu or a village in between — and delivery reaches across Europe and worldwide.
In-depth country guides (in Finnish): Sweden · Estonia · Germany · Norway · Switzerland · Netherlands · Poland · France · Spain · UK · Australia
Sweden, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain and the UK are our most common routes — but if your new address has a road to it, we can plan the move. Moving to Finland from Europe works the same way, in reverse.
🇩🇪 Moving between Finland and Germany? We also have German-language pages: Umzug Finnland–Deutschland and the guide Umzug nach Finnland — including the Finnlines ferry route Travemünde–Helsinki.
🇪🇸 Spain, especially the Costa del Sol ("Aurinkorannikko"), is a particularly popular destination for Finns — an estimated 25,000+ Finns live there, with a real Finnish school and congregation in Fuengirola. 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 — but 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 — there couldn't be. The price depends on the volume (m³), the route, the schedule, possible combined loads and customs practices. That's why every move is priced individually.
How to get your price: fill in the quote form with the addresses and a rough volume estimate — you'll get a clear, binding door-to-door total with no commitments. One price that covers everything: packing, transport, paperwork and insurance.
FAQ
Nearby destinations like Sweden and Estonia: typically 1–3 days door to door. Central Europe: usually within a week. We confirm the schedule before you book. Open shared departures are listed anonymously on our Finnish departure list.
Within the EU, household moves normally need no customs clearance. For the UK, Switzerland and other non-EU destinations we prepare the documentation for you.
Yes — partial loads are welcome. If your boxes share the truck with another shipment in the same direction, you pay only for your share of the space.
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 is 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.
Three ways out of Finland. For continental Europe, the Finnlines ferry Helsinki–Travemünde, 30–31 hours daily, then the German motorway network. For the Baltics and Poland, 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 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 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.
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. In all of them our truck drives aboard and your load stays in the same vehicle — nothing is transferred at the port.
30–31 hours, daily, with Finnlines. The only direct ro-ro link between Finland and continental Europe. From Travemünde the German motorway network reaches everywhere — Hamburg is a short hop, Berlin roughly 250 km. 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). Very frequent daily departures. 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 a single day, because the crossing is only two hours. We confirm the exact schedule before you book, not after.
Customs
For most destinations there is nothing to do. Moving goods travel without customs formalities between EU countries — 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 — we'll send a clear door-to-door offer.
