Quick answer: Herlev is a compact municipality north west of Copenhagen, built largely around a major regional hospital. Straightforward access and its own loading rules. One FIDI-certified mover matched free. 07551 855 064.
Herlev is one of the smaller Greater Copenhagen municipalities and sits north west of the city, off the main approach rather than in the dense centre.
The route in is the capital route: Channel crossing by Eurotunnel or a Dover ferry, then through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, up through Jutland, over the Little Belt onto Funen and the Great Belt onto Zealand. Copenhagen Malmo Port covers sea freight with a short road leg out.
Because the municipality is compact, the final leg is short whichever way the goods arrive. There is no long drive across a spread-out area once the lorry is off the main road.
A significant share of moves here are tied to the regional hospital, which is one of the largest employers in the area and recruits medical and research staff internationally. Those moves often come with a fixed start date and sometimes accommodation attached, both of which are worth mentioning at enquiry stage.
FIDI FAIM is the international quality standard for removal companies. To be accredited, a removal company must pass an independent audit by Ernst and Young covering more than 200 quality and operational criteria, repeated every three years.
International Removals Companies connects each enquiry with one FIDI-certified partner mover who works Danish routes. It does not carry out the move itself. DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD, company 07425576, has operated the service since November 2010. The enquiry is free.
Free. One FIDI-certified partner mover. No obligation.
Herlev is an unfussy place to deliver into. Most of it was built or rebuilt in the post-war decades, so the awkward features of older Danish towns are largely absent.
Housing is a mix of detached and terraced properties with driveways and apartment blocks of relatively recent construction with lifts and loading space. There is no medieval core, no cobbled lanes and no pedestrianised centre to plan around. Street parking is generally available.
Two practical points. Lift dimensions still vary, so measure your largest item rather than assuming it fits. And if you are moving into hospital or institutional staff accommodation, check what is already furnished before shipping a full household, because a part load with storage at the UK end is often the cheaper answer.
If your role involves shift work, tell the mover. Delivery slots that suit a normal working day may not suit you, and it is easier to plan around at the quoting stage.
On permits, the usual Greater Copenhagen warning applies. Herlev Municipality sets its own rules for holding road space with a removal lorry, separately from Copenhagen. Make sure the mover applies to the right council.
Send the UK collection postcode, the full Herlev delivery address, an inventory, the property type and access details, your preferred date and any special items. One FIDI-certified partner mover confirms the quote, the route and the customs paperwork.

Nobody can price your move honestly without knowing what you are shifting and where from. Here is what the partner mover will be asking about.
A one bedroom flat and a four bedroom house are not in the same bracket. Everything else adjusts around this.
Sharing container space costs less and takes longer, because your goods wait for other consignments.
Great Belt crossing like the rest of the capital area, then a short final leg.
Lifts, street width and parking all add hours. Full packing costs more up front and usually saves grief later.
Quotes come in pounds, but you will be spending Danish kroner when you land, since Denmark kept the krone and did not join the euro. Currency exchange is included in what we offer through our partners, with no hidden fees, competitive rates and five star consumer ratings.
Since Brexit the UK sits outside the EU, so goods from Britain need Danish customs clearance. The authority is Toldstyrelsen, the Danish Customs Agency, and it is Toldstyrelsen you deal with for goods rather than SKAT, which handles tax. The rules are national, so they apply the same in Herlev as anywhere else in Denmark.
Two documents. Your mover files the customs clearance declaration. You separately complete a declaration of personal property, form 12.024, and send it to Toldstyrelsen yourself.
Keep receipts. You may be asked to show six months of ownership on valuable items.
Alcohol, tobacco, commercial vehicles and trade equipment are excluded, though portable tools are fine. If you do not qualify, Danish moms is 25%.
The whole municipality is covered from this page.
Neighbouring municipalities have their own pages: Gladsaxe to the north east, relocating to Copenhagen to the south east, Rodovre to the south and Ballerup to the west.
A few boxes and a four bedroom house need entirely different handling, and so does an office relocation. Pick the one that fits.
There is no barrier to entry here, so moving companies span the full range of competence. Accreditation is how you tell who has actually been checked, and it is worth looking at before price.
Audited independently by Ernst and Young against more than 200 quality and operational criteria, from how a firm handles client money to how it trains its crews. The audit repeats every three years.
Every mover we match you with holds it.
These tell you a company works to agreed standards and that you have somewhere to take a complaint.

The standard capital route: Channel crossing by Eurotunnel or a Dover ferry, then through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, up through Jutland, over the Little Belt onto Funen and the Great Belt onto Zealand.

Very few. Most of Herlev was built or rebuilt in the post-war decades, so there is no medieval core, no cobbled lanes and no pedestrianised centre. Housing is detached and terraced properties with driveways plus relatively recent apartment blocks with lifts and loading space. Measure your largest item against the actual lift rather than assuming, and if you are moving into staff accommodation check what is already furnished before shipping a full household.
Not if you meet Toldstyrelsen's conditions for transferring your residence. You need 12 consecutive months living outside the EU, the goods arriving within 12 months of your move and no earlier than six months before it, and no lending or selling them for a year afterwards. If you do not qualify, Danish moms is 25%.
Two documents, not one. Your mover files the customs clearance declaration. You separately complete a declaration of personal property, form 12.024, and send it to Toldstyrelsen yourself. Keep receipts, because you may be asked to prove six months of ownership on valuable items.
Yes, but it is handled separately from your household goods. Vehicles come under Motorstyrelsen with its own rules and a registration fee. Ask the partner mover to quote for it as a separate item.
Yes. Coming back to Britain you will be dealing with HMRC and Transfer of Residence relief rather than Toldstyrelsen. See moving back to the UK.
