VerifiedGet matched with vetted international mover We match you with only accredited partner for your route: fewer calls, less stress, and a clearer quote.
Removals to Norway from Ireland always involve the sea. Ireland is an island, with no land bridge to the continent. So your goods either sail direct, or travel by road across Britain first. One matched partner mover handles collection, freight, customs and delivery.
There are two main ways north. Direct sea freight leaves Irish ports for Norway or the continent. The road route uses the Dublin to Holyhead ferry, then drives across Britain and on through Europe. Ireland is in the EU and Norway is not, so the customs step happens at the Norwegian border.
The sea route is the simplest in theory. Containers leave Irish ports such as Dublin or Cork. They sail to Norway or to a continental port, then go on by road. This suits larger loads and saves the drive across Britain.
The road route uses ferries and motorways. A lorry takes the Dublin to Holyhead ferry into Wales. It then drives across Britain. From there it crosses the Channel or the North Sea. The lorry runs up through Europe to Sweden and Norway. It works well for smaller loads and groupage.
Because Britain is now outside the EU, goods passing through it travel under transit rules. The partner mover handles that paperwork, so your move is not held up.
A lorry just for your move, door to door. Best for a 2-bedroom home or larger. Your goods stay on one vehicle. The customs paper travels with them.
Your goods share space with other loads going to Norway. The cheapest choice for a studio, a one-bed flat or a few rooms. It takes longer due to consolidation stops.
Container shipping to Norway. Good for big loads. The mover advises whether road or sea suits your move better.
Specialist items like pianos, fine art and antiques get proper crating. Tell the partner mover about them when they call.
Collection covers the whole of Ireland. That includes Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. Dublin is the main hub for both the ferry and sea freight. The mover sends the right vehicle for your access.
Every Irish move needs a sea crossing, so timing matters. The mover books the ferry or the container space and plans around it. Tell them your volume and your Norwegian address, and they pick the best route.
Ireland is in the EU customs union. Norway is not. So your goods clear customs once, when they enter Norway. If your route runs through Britain, which is outside the EU, the goods travel under transit rules across it. The mover handles that, so the single real customs event is the Norwegian import.
Do not worry about the forms. The partner mover prepares them. Most people moving for good pay no duty or VAT into Norway. That is thanks to Transfer of Residence relief, called toll- og avgiftsfritak ved innflytting. You must have lived outside Norway for at least 12 months. You must have owned and used the goods during that time. You must import them within one year.
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. If you have neither yet, Customs can issue a TRK-number. Cars, food, alcohol, tobacco and work tools are not covered by the relief. They are handled on their own.

Norway uses the krone, not the euro. It is a pricey country, dearer than Ireland. You may need to send money for a deposit, rent or a home. Currency exchange comes with the service, through our trusted partners.

It depends on the route. Direct sea freight depends on the sailing schedule. The road route via Britain usually takes about two to three weeks for a dedicated load, longer for groupage. The island sea leg adds time at the start. The matched mover confirms your dates.
Sea freight suits larger loads and saves the drive across Britain. Road via the Dublin to Holyhead ferry suits smaller loads and groupage. The right choice depends on your volume and your Norwegian address. The partner mover weighs both and quotes the better one.
Yes, at the Norwegian border. Ireland is in the EU customs union and Norway is not, so goods are declared when they enter Norway. If the route crosses Britain, the goods travel under transit rules there too. The mover handles all of it. Most people moving for good pay no duty or VAT under Transfer of Residence relief.
A small groupage load often starts from around £1,000, a little more than mainland routes because of the sea leg. A full house by dedicated vehicle is more, commonly from £2,800 upward. The matched mover confirms the real cost for your move.
We cover the whole of Ireland. That includes Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. Dublin is the main hub for the ferry and for sea freight. One matched mover collects from your address wherever you are in Ireland.
