Quick answer: Tarnby is the airport municipality on Amager, and the Oresund crossing to Sweden starts here. Good road access and its own loading rules. One FIDI-certified mover matched free. 07551 855 064.
Tarnby occupies the middle of Amager, the island attached to Copenhagen by bridge and tunnel, and it has better transport connections than almost anywhere in Denmark.
The road 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 across onto Amager. Copenhagen Malmo Port covers sea freight and is close by.
Two features of the municipality matter for a move. Copenhagen Airport sits within it, which means the road network here was designed for constant heavy traffic, and a removal lorry has no difficulty getting around. It also means a good share of local employment is airport-related, and those postings often come with fixed start dates.
The other is the Oresund crossing to Sweden, which begins on Amager. If Denmark is one stage of a longer move, or if you will be commuting to Malmo, say so, because the mover can plan the whole route rather than treating the Danish leg in isolation.
Also on this route: moving from Sweden.

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.
Tarnby is comfortable to deliver into. The island was substantially developed in the twentieth century, so the housing is a mix of detached and terraced properties with driveways and apartment blocks with lifts and loading space.
There is no medieval core here, no cobbled lanes and no pedestrianised centre to plan around. Roads are wide because they carry airport traffic, and parking a lorry is rarely a problem.
Kastrup, on the eastern side towards the water, is the older part and has some narrower residential streets, but nothing that a competent crew cannot handle.
One practical point specific to living near an airport: some housing is within noise-monitored zones and a portion of it has restrictions or specific glazing that is worth knowing about if you are buying rather than renting. It does not affect the move itself, but it is the sort of thing people wish they had asked earlier.
On permits, the usual capital warning applies. Tarnby Municipality sets its own rules for holding road space with a removal lorry, separately from Copenhagen. Use postcode 2770 rather than writing Copenhagen, and make sure the mover applies to the right council.
Send the UK collection postcode, the full Tarnby 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 easy road access across Amager.
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 Tarnby 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, including Kastrup on the eastern shore.
Neighbouring destinations have their own pages: Copenhagen removals to the north, Dragor at the southern tip of Amager, and Hvidovre across the water 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.
No licence governs this, which is why moving companies must be checked rather than assumed. 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.

Copenhagen Malmo Port covers sea freight and is close by. The road network here was built for constant airport traffic, so a removal lorry has no difficulty once it arrives.
Very few. Amager was substantially developed in the twentieth century, so there is no medieval core, no cobbled lanes and no pedestrianised centre.

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 Denmark to UK moves.
