Kristiansund is a coastal town in the north-west, in Møre og Romsdal. It is built across several islands, linked by bridges and a tunnel. It is famous for clipfish, the dried cod once shipped around the world. It should not be confused with Kristiansand on the south coast.
Because Kristiansund is on the coast, sea freight often suits. Road, through Sweden then a long way 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 Kristiansund goes by container, groupage or sea freight. Our international removal services cover packing, transport and customs.
Sea freight is a strong option for Kristiansund. It sits on the coast, so coastal shipping can serve it well. 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. The journey uses ferries and tunnels through the fjords. It is much longer than a drive to Oslo.
Groupage is the cheapest way to move a small load. The mover weighs sea against road for the distance. They quote the option that suits your volume and your Kristiansund address.
Coastal town in north-west Møre og Romsdal.
Built across islands, linked by bridges and a tunnel.
Not the same as Kristiansand in the south.
We cover all of Kristiansund. The town spreads across four main islands, Kirkelandet, Innlandet, Nordlandet and Gomalandet. They are linked by bridges and an undersea tunnel.
Kristiansund made its name in clipfish, and the harbour is still at the heart of the town. It is also a base for the offshore oil and gas industry, which draws workers. Access in most of the town is good.
Because the town is built on islands, some routes use bridges or the tunnel. The mover plans the final leg around this. The island centre is compact.
Housing ranges from harbour-side homes to modern flats. Wherever you are, one matched mover delivers to the door. Tell them about access when they call. The mover sends the right vehicle.

International removals to Kristiansund 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 Kristiansund 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.

No, and it is a common mix-up. Kristiansund is on the north-west coast, in Møre og Romsdal. Kristiansand is a separate city on the south coast. They are far apart. Make sure the mover has the right one. This page is for Kristiansund in the north-west.
By sea it depends on the sailing. By road a dedicated vehicle takes much longer than to Oslo, because of the long western drive with ferries. Groupage takes longer. Customs adds a little. The matched mover confirms your dates.
Often, yes. Kristiansund is on the coast, so coastal shipping can serve it well. 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.
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 £1,050. A full house by dedicated vehicle is more, commonly from £2,900 upward. The distance and whether you choose sea or road affect the figure. The matched mover confirms it.
