Quick answer: Hoje-Taastrup has one of the highest shares of foreign-born residents in Denmark, so moves run in both directions here. It is also a major transport interchange with easy access. One FIDI-certified mover matched free. 07551 855 064.
Taastrup sits west of Copenhagen on the main corridor into the capital, and it was developed around that role. Road and rail meet here, and the infrastructure was built for volume.
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. A lorry approaches from the west and reaches Taastrup before the dense city, so there is no inner Copenhagen navigation involved. Copenhagen Malmo Port covers sea freight with a short road leg.
The thing that makes this a different page from the rest of the capital area is who lives here. Hoje-Taastrup has around 37% foreign-born residents, the third highest share of any Danish municipality. That means a great deal of movement in both directions: people arriving, and people leaving to go home or move on.
If you are moving out of Denmark rather than into it, that is an entirely normal enquiry here. Heading back to Britain you will deal with HMRC and Transfer of Residence relief rather than Toldstyrelsen, and the process works the same way in reverse.

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.
Taastrup is straightforward to deliver into, and being an interchange is the reason.
The area was largely developed in the modern era around its transport connections, so roads are wide, junctions are generous and a full-size removal lorry has no trouble. There is no medieval core, no cobbled streets and no pedestrianised centre blocking access. Housing is a mix of detached and terraced properties with driveways and apartment blocks with lifts and loading space.
Two practical points. Some of the larger residential estates have controlled vehicle access or barriers, so entry may need arranging in advance rather than on the day. And lift dimensions vary even in purpose-built blocks, so measure your largest item rather than assuming.
For an outbound move, the questions are different from an inbound one. What you take, what you sell, what you leave. Ask the mover about part loads and about shipping to a storage address if your onward home is not ready, because it is a common situation here and there are established ways to handle it.
On permits, the capital rule applies. Hoje-Taastrup Municipality sets its own rules for holding road space, separately from Copenhagen. Make sure the mover applies to the right council.
Send the UK collection postcode, the full Taastrup 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, then a western approach with no inner city 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 Taastrup 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%.
A few boxes and a four bedroom house need entirely different handling, and so does an office relocation. Pick the one that fits.
It is an open market, so moving companies vary and accreditation is the only reliable sorting mechanism. 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, but the lorry stops short of the city. Channel crossing, then through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, up through Jutland, over the Little Belt onto Funen and the Great Belt onto Zealand, approaching from the west and reaching Taastrup before the dense centre. No inner Copenhagen navigation. Copenhagen Malmo Port covers sea freight with a short road leg.
Very few. The area was largely developed in the modern era around its transport connections, so roads are wide, junctions are generous and there is no medieval core or pedestrianised centre. Housing is a mix of houses with driveways and apartment blocks with lifts. Two things to check: some larger estates have controlled vehicle access or barriers needing arrangement in advance, and lift dimensions vary, so measure your largest item.
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.
