Sandnes is Stavanger's neighbour on the south-west coast. The two cities run into each other. But Sandnes has its own feel. It is younger, fast-growing and very family-friendly, with a lot of new housing.
Sandnes is reached the same way as Stavanger, by sea from the UK or road via Sweden. The final leg into Sandnes is short. 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 Sandnes goes by container, groupage or sea freight. Our international removal services cover packing, transport and customs.
Sandnes shares Stavanger's routes, because the two cities sit side by side. Sea freight from the UK is common, thanks to the strong North Sea links built up by the oil industry. Containers reach the area, then a short leg brings the goods into Sandnes.
The road route runs through Sweden, over the Svinesund border, then down the west coast. From mainland Europe this works well. The final delivery into Sandnes is short.
Groupage is the cheapest way to move a small load. Because the south-west corner is well served, space fills regularly. The mover plans the delivery around your address.
Stavanger's fast-growing twin city.
Young, family-friendly, with lots of new homes.
Reached on the same route as Stavanger.
We cover all of Sandnes. That includes the centre, plus Ganddal, Hommersåk and the growing suburbs. The wider area between Sandnes and Stavanger is covered too.
Sandnes is one of Norway's youngest and fastest-growing cities. A lot of housing is new, built for families. Access in these newer areas is usually good, with driveways and parking.
The city has a long pottery heritage, which gives it its nickname. Today it is mostly known for new homes and family life. Wherever you are, one matched mover delivers to the door.
Because so much of Sandnes is newly built, a lift and parking are common. That makes delivery quick in the modern blocks. Older parts near the centre can be a little tighter. The mover plans for both and sends a vehicle to suit.
Your move to Sandnes 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 Sandnes 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 Sandnes 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.
