Haugesund is a port town on the west coast, between Bergen and Stavanger. It has deep roots in herring fishing and, more recently, the oil and energy industry. It is also near the monument to Harald Fairhair, who united Norway. One matched mover handles the move.
Because Haugesund is on the west coast, sea freight to the port is often a good choice. Road, through Sweden then west, also works but is longer. Customs is handled when your goods enter Norway.
A removal van and man, the local removal service, does not suit a move this far. A European removal to Haugesund goes by container, groupage or sea freight. Our international removal services cover packing, transport and customs.
Sea freight is a strong option for Haugesund. It is a west-coast port, so containers can come straight in. That skips the long drive across the country from the east. For larger loads it is often the best value.
The road route runs through Sweden, over the Svinesund border, then a long way west to the coast. It works from mainland Europe, but it is a longer drive than to Oslo. The mover plans the legs.
Groupage is the cheapest way to send a small load. The mover weighs sea against road for the distance. They quote the option that suits your volume and your Haugesund address.
West-coast port between Bergen and Stavanger.
Herring and oil and energy heritage.

We cover all of Haugesund. That includes the centre, the harbour area, and the suburbs. Nearby Karmøy and the islands are covered too.
Haugesund grew rich on herring, and the old town reflects that history. Today the energy industry is a big employer. The harbour is busy, and the centre is compact.
The town hosts a well-known film festival each year, which draws crowds. Day to day, though, it is a working port. The mover plans around any busy periods.
Housing ranges from town flats to homes out on the islands. Access in most of the area is good. Wherever you are, one matched mover delivers to the door. Tell them about access when they call.
Your move to Haugesund 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 Haugesund 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 Haugesund 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.

By sea it depends on the sailing. By road a dedicated vehicle takes longer than to Oslo, often around two weeks, because of the long western drive. Groupage takes longer again. Customs adds a little. The matched mover confirms your dates.
Often, yes. Haugesund is a west-coast port, so sea freight can come straight in. That skips the long drive across the country from the east. For larger loads it is usually the best value. The mover advises which fits your move.
On the west coast, midway between Bergen and Stavanger. It is a busy port with herring and energy heritage. Its coastal position is why sea freight often makes sense for a move there. The mover plans the route to suit.
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 £1,000. A full house by dedicated vehicle is more, commonly from £2,800 upward. Whether you choose sea or road affects the figure. The matched mover confirms the real cost.
