Between member states there is no declaration, no relief to apply for and no reference number. It also means no twelve month import deadline, so storage becomes a scheduling decision rather than a customs risk.
Serving international removals, relocation and shipping between the UK and Austria. Moving from Austria to another EU country needs no customs entry, which removes the paperwork and about a week from the schedule. Switzerland is the exception and is treated as a customs job. Most European moves from Austria take one to four days.
We match you with one vetted moving company for your route, free. We are not a removal company and we are not a quote comparison service, so you get one mover, not ten sales calls.
Austria borders eight countries, more than any other state in the region, which makes it an unusually well-connected place to move out of. Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic are all reachable within a day's drive.
The main practical difference from a UK move is what is absent. Between EU member states there is no customs entry, no relief to claim and no reference number to wait for. Goods move as freely as they would between English counties, and the schedule shortens accordingly.
Switzerland is the exception worth stating plainly. It is not in the EU customs union, so a move from the country to Zurich or Geneva is a full customs job with a declaration and an inventory, despite the border being an hour from Bregenz.
Send your collection town, the delivery address, move date and rough volume. One vetted moving company checks the route and comes back with a real figure.
Send your move detailsGermany is the largest single destination and the simplest, with dense mover coverage in both directions and short transit. Italy runs over the Brenner from Tyrol, which carries a heavy-vehicle toll worth checking is included in the quote.
The eastern neighbours, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and the Czech Republic, are all short runs, and Bratislava is barely an hour from Vienna. Those moves are often day jobs rather than multi-day ones.
No customs entry means no relief application, no reference number and no waiting for approval. It also means no twelve month import deadline, so storage is a scheduling decision rather than a customs risk.
What does not change is the inventory. A written list still protects you on an insurance claim, and any mover working to a professional standard will produce one regardless of whether a customs officer will ever read it.
Shorter distances mean lower prices, and a move from Vienna to Munich or Bratislava costs a fraction of the same volume going to the UK. Dedicated vehicles become viable at smaller volumes because the vehicle is not tied up for a week.
Ask specifically about return-load pricing on these routes. Movers running the country to Germany work regularly have vehicles going back empty, and a flexible date can catch one.
One enquiry, one vetted moving company, no obligation to book. Send your collection postcode, the delivery address, your date and a rough inventory.
The euro is the currency, so moving money is part of moving home. We have helped customers with currency exchange in any currency for many years, through trusted partners, and it is included in what we do. Mention it on the quote form and we will make the introduction.
No. Between EU member states there is no customs entry, no relief to apply for and no reference number to wait for. Your goods move without a declaration, which removes about a week from the typical schedule compared with a move to or from the UK.
No, and this catches people out. Switzerland is not in the EU customs union, so a move from there to Switzerland is a full customs job with a declaration and an inventory, even though the border is an hour from Bregenz. Liechtenstein is in the same position.
One to two days for most routes, and often a single day from Salzburg or Innsbruck to southern Germany. It is the busiest moving route out of Austria, so both frequency and price are good in either direction.
Usually the Brenner route from Tyrol, which carries a heavy-vehicle toll. Ask for that to be itemised rather than absorbed, and confirm the routing if your destination is in the south, where a different crossing may be shorter.
