Almost every international moving company will tell you it handles Sweden. The useful question is not whether a firm will take the job but whether it has run the route before, and there are a few specific things you can ask that will tell you quickly.
Start with accreditation, because it is the one part that is independently checked. FIDI FAIM is the one worth understanding properly. It is not a membership you buy. The audit is carried out by Ernst & Young against more than two hundred criteria covering finance, insurance, operations and quality, and it has to be renewed rather than granted once. A firm that holds it has had its books and its processes examined by a third party.
Alongside it, BAR Overseas covers UK firms operating internationally, IAM is the international movers' association, and EUROMOVERS and FEDEMAC are European bodies. These are worth having and worth checking, but FIDI FAIM is the one with the audit behind it.
International Removals Companies is a free enquiry matching service operated by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD (company 07425576). It does not carry out removals and does not operate vehicles. Every moving company in the network is checked before an enquiry reaches it, and one vetted mover handles yours. They contact you, survey the move and confirm the quote, and if they cannot take your dates the enquiry passes to another mover in the network.
First, who lodges the customs declaration, you or them. Most established firms do it as routine and the answer should be immediate. Second, whether they route via the direct Immingham to Gothenburg freight crossing or overland through Denmark, and why they would choose one for your destination. A firm that has no view on this has not thought about your move.
Third, what they need to know about the delivery address, which should prompt questions about floors, lift dimensions and parking rather than just a postcode. Fourth, whether your goods travel as a shared or dedicated load, and what that means for your dates. Fifth, if you are going north, what the delivery window looks like in the month you are actually moving.
Assessed by Ernst & Young against more than two hundred criteria and renewed rather than granted permanently. It covers financial standing as well as operational quality, which matters because a mover holding your goods mid route is a firm you need to still exist next month.
Sweden is a road and roll on roll off market rather than a container one, and it has a direct UK freight crossing that most Nordic countries do not. A firm that quotes for Sweden the way it quotes for Australia has not run it. Ask which crossing and why.
A firm quoting a firm price before seeing an inventory is either guessing or will revise later. So is one that cannot say who handles the Tullverket paperwork, or that asks for a large deposit before a survey has happened. None of these is illegal. All of them are reasons to keep looking.
Send your collection address, your Swedish delivery address with the floor, lift dimensions and access notes, and an honest inventory. Your enquiry goes to one vetted firm from our network who already covers this work.
Get your free quoteWe are not an international moving company. We do not own vehicles, we do not employ crews, and we do not carry out removals. We are a free enquiry matching service, which means we take one enquiry and pass it to one vetted mover from our network who covers your route. They contact you directly.
We do not run a comparison. You are not sent a list to work through and you will not get an inbox full of firms competing for your attention. If the mover we match you with cannot take your dates, your enquiry passes to another in the network. The introduction costs you nothing, and it costs the mover nothing either.
Swedish customs, including the Tullverket relief conditions and the twelve month restriction that follows, is set out in full on the Sweden removals hub.
It is the international removals industry's principal quality standard, and unlike most trade memberships it is independently audited. The assessment is carried out by Ernst and Young against more than two hundred criteria covering financial stability, insurance, operational process and quality management, and it must be renewed rather than being granted permanently.
Ask which crossing they would use and why. Sweden has a direct roll on roll off freight route from Immingham to Gothenburg, which most Nordic countries do not, alongside the overland route through Denmark and across the Oresund. A firm that has run the route will have a view on which suits your destination. One that has not will not.
You can, and if you do, give every firm identical information. Most of the variation between quotes for the same move comes from firms making different assumptions about what they were not told. Our own service works differently: we match you with one vetted mover rather than sending your details to several.
A firm price quoted before anyone has seen your inventory, an inability to say who lodges the Tullverket declaration, a large deposit requested before a survey, and vagueness about how and when your goods will actually travel. None of these is illegal, and all of them are reasons to keep looking.
