Quick answer: Koge is a fast-growing bay town south of Copenhagen with its own working port. The timber-framed old town needs careful handling. One FIDI-certified mover matched free. 07551 855 064.
Koge sits on the bay south of Copenhagen and has been one of the faster growing parts of Zealand, which means a steady stream of people arriving.
The route in is the capital route: Channel crossing, then through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, up through Jutland, over the Little Belt onto Funen and the Great Belt onto Zealand, then south. Two crossings, same as a Copenhagen delivery.
Unlike most towns of its size, Koge has a working port of its own. For a container or sea freight move that is a genuine local option rather than a road leg out from Copenhagen, and worth asking the mover to price against the alternative.
Because the town is on the main southern corridor out of the capital, deliveries here often coincide with movements to and from Copenhagen. If your date is flexible, it is worth asking whether sharing a corridor brings the price down.

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.
If you are weighing this against the capital, we cover Copenhagen itself separately.
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.
Koge has one of the better preserved old towns in Denmark, and that is exactly why it needs mentioning before the move rather than after.
The streets around the market square are narrow and lined with timber-framed buildings, many of them old and some listed. These are not simply tight to drive through. They are structurally delicate. Doorways and staircases are narrower than modern equivalents, ceilings are lower, and floors will not always take concentrated weight the way a modern building does. Getting a heavy item up an old timber staircase is sometimes not possible at all.
A hoist through a window is often the answer, but listing rules can restrict what it anchors to, so this needs checking rather than assuming. Ask the mover to look at photographs of the stair and the doorways before quoting on anything heavy.
Outside the old town, Koge is a completely different proposition. Newer residential development with driveways, modern apartment blocks with lifts and loading bays, and plenty of room. Most deliveries fall here and present no difficulty at all.
Loading and parking rules are set by Koge Municipality. Ask the mover to check your street.
Send the UK collection postcode, the full Koge 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, but a working local port may beat the road 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 Koge 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%.
Deliveries across the wider Koge municipality on the bay are handled from this page.
Nearby destinations have their own pages: the Danish capital to the north, Greve Strand between the two, Roskilde to the north west and Naestved to the south 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 register of competence, so moving companies are best judged by who has audited them. 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 capital route, then south along the bay. Channel crossing, then through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, up through Jutland, over the Little Belt onto Funen and the Great Belt onto Zealand. Two crossings, same as Copenhagen. Unlike most towns of its size, Koge has a working port of its own, so a container or sea freight move can arrive locally rather than driving out from the capital. Worth asking the mover to price both.
The old town around the market square is the issue, and it is more than tight streets. The timber-framed buildings there are structurally delicate, with narrower doorways, lower ceilings and staircases that will not always take a heavy item at all. A hoist through a window is often the answer, but listing rules can restrict what it anchors to. Send the mover photographs of the stair and doorways before they quote on anything heavy. Outside the old town, Koge is modern and easy.
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 leaving Denmark for Britain.
