In short: A move to or from Ulm is connected to one certified FIDI FAIM partner mover, free and with no obligation to book. Since Brexit, UK to Ulm moves need customs clearance, but used household goods can enter duty-free and VAT-free under Transfer of Residence rules on Form 0350. Moves from within the EU need no customs declaration.
You register your new address (Anmeldung) after arrival, then choose groupage, a dedicated vehicle or air freight. The partner mover confirms the full document list for your route.
Ulm and Neu-Ulm: Ulm is in Baden-Württemberg. Neu-Ulm is directly across the Danube in Bavaria. The two cities share infrastructure and are effectively one urban area, but have separate administrations and Bürgerämter. If your delivery address is in Neu-Ulm (Bavaria), your Anmeldung is at the Neu-Ulm Bürgeramt, not the Ulm one. Confirm your address postcode when you send the enquiry.
Daimler Truck context: Daimler Truck AG was spun off from Mercedes-Benz Group in 2021 and is now independently listed. Its headquarters are in Stuttgart but key operations and engineering functions are centred in Ulm and the surrounding region. Engineers and management joining Daimler Truck in the Ulm area often choose to live in Ulm itself for the city's size and amenities.
Ulm's employer base is strongly shaped by the commercial vehicle sector. Daimler Truck AG, the world's largest manufacturer of heavy trucks and commercial vehicles, has engineering, development and administrative functions in and around Ulm. Its brands include Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Freightliner, Western Star and FUSO. International engineers and managers joining these operations come from the UK, USA, Japan and across the EU. People search for this in different ways, but overseas removals to Ulm, house removals to Ulm and international removals all describe the same job, and the removal services quoted here cover all of them.
The Universität Ulm, founded in 1967, is a medium-sized research university with particular strengths in medicine, natural sciences and engineering. It is notable for producing Nobel Prize-winning research. Ulm also hosts the Bundeswehr University campus for military officer education, which generates a consistent stream of military and civilian moves. IVECO, another commercial vehicle manufacturer, operates in the Ulm region, as does Liebherr Group, which manufactures construction machinery, cranes and aerospace components in Ehingen, around 30km west of Ulm.
International Removals Companies is a free service that connects your Ulm enquiry with one suitable FIDI-certified partner mover. It does not carry out the move itself. DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD, company number 07425576, operates the service. Darren Benjamin founded it in 2010 and has over 20 years of experience in international logistics and Germany removals.

The international movers and international moving companies we work with hold FIDI FAIM, BAR Overseas, FEDEMAC and IAM accreditations where confirmed.

Daimler Truck, Universität Ulm, Bundeswehr and Liebherr moves are connected through the same one-partner system as family and individual moves.
One suitable certified international moving company receives your Ulm enquiry. That partner contacts you with the quote and manages the move from collection to door-to-door delivery. See our verified Germany partner movers for more on the partner network and accreditation details.
