Bergen is Norway's second city, on the west coast among the fjords. It has a big port, so sea freight is often the natural choice. Road also works, through Sweden and then across to the west. One matched mover handles the move.
Bergen is further from the Svinesund border than Oslo, with mountains and fjords in between. Sea freight to Bergen port can skip the long inland drive. Customs is handled when goods enter Norway.
A removal van and man, the local removal service, does not suit a move this far. A European removal to Bergen goes by container, groupage or sea freight. Our international removal services cover packing, transport and customs.
Sea freight is a strong option for Bergen. Containers sail to Bergen port, which sits right by the city. It skips the long drive over the mountains from the east. For larger loads this is often the best value.
The road route runs through Sweden, over the Svinesund border, then west across the country to Bergen. It is a longer drive than to Oslo, because of the mountains and fjords. Groupage is the cheapest choice for a small load.
The mover weighs sea against road for your move. They pick the option that suits your volume and your Bergen address.
Norway's second city, on the west coast.
Major port, so sea freight is often best.
Further inland drive than Oslo if going by road.
We cover all of Bergen. That includes the centre around Bryggen, plus Åsane, Fyllingsdalen, Laksevåg and the island of Askøy nearby. The wider Bergen area is covered too.
Bergen's old centre has narrow lanes and steep streets. Some homes are hard for a big lorry to reach. The mover may use a smaller vehicle for the final leg. Tell them about access when they call.
Rain is a fact of life in Bergen. So the team protects your goods from the wet on load day. Proper wrapping and covered handling keep boxes dry. The mover plans for the weather as well as the access. A dry, careful delivery matters more here than in most places.
Your move to Bergen can include more than transport. We match you with a mover who can add the services you need, so one team handles the lot.

International removals to Bergen need customs clearance, like anywhere in Norway. Norway is in the EEA but outside the EU customs union. So your goods are declared to Tolletaten, the Norwegian customs service, when they arrive.
Most people moving for good pay no duty or VAT. That is thanks to Transfer of Residence relief. You must have lived outside Norway for at least 12 months. You must have owned and used the goods during that time. And you must import them within one year of the move.
Norwegian VAT (MVA) is 25%, so the relief saves a lot. To declare your goods you need a Norwegian ID number. That is a D-number or a personnummer. The matched mover prepares the declaration for you.
Customs facts checked against Tolletaten (toll.no). Rules can change, so check before you move.
Norway uses the Norwegian krone (NOK), not the euro. It is one of the most expensive countries in Europe. A move to Bergen often means sending money over. That might be for a deposit, rent or a home.
International Removals Companies is run by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD, company number 07425576. We have connected international moves since 2010. Norway has its own customs process, so route experience matters. Your enquiry goes to one vetted mover from our network. It is not a comparison site. If the first firm is busy, another in the network can step in.

A dedicated vehicle by road takes a bit longer than to Oslo. It is often around two weeks, because of the inland drive. Sea freight depends on the sailing. Groupage takes longer again. Customs adds a little. The matched mover confirms your dates.
Often, yes. Bergen has a major port, and sea freight skips the long drive over the mountains from the east. For larger loads it can be the best value. The mover weighs sea against road and advises which fits your move.
Bergen is on the west coast, with mountains and fjords between it and the Svinesund border. So the road drive across the country is longer than to Oslo. That is why sea freight is often worth considering for Bergen.
Yes. Norway is outside the EU customs union. So goods are declared to Tolletaten on arrival, by sea or road. Most home moves pay no duty or VAT under Transfer of Residence relief. The mover handles it.
A small groupage load often starts from around £950. A full house by dedicated vehicle is more, commonly from £2,600 upward. The route and whether you choose sea or road affect the figure. The matched mover confirms it.
