1. Before the moving date
Ideally get a quote 3–4 weeks ahead. Volume directly affects price; our online volume calculator gives you an estimate in seconds.
2. Required documents
- Passport and residence/visa document
- New address in Germany (for Anmeldung)
- Inventory list — for customs
- Residence permit / work contract if any
3. Customs
For household goods into the EU, personal-use items are usually duty-free. We handle the entire declaration on your behalf.
4. Duration and cost
Istanbul–Berlin takes 5–8 days on average. Cost depends on volume, distance, floor/elevator and add-ons.
