Why this move is simpler than it looks

This corridor is mature. Denmark and the UK are joined by well used road and sea lanes, frequent ferries, and smooth handovers at major ports. With ToR1 in place for your personal goods, customs is predictable and paperwork is handled before the wheels roll. UK cities reward planning. When you pre book elevators and loading bays, access is clean and fast. We keep you in the loop with an accurate schedule and a live GPS link, so you always know where your belongings are.

What makes this route feel easy

• One coordinator from survey to delivery with clear timings.
• A single, numbered inventory that supports ToR1 paperwork.
• Right sized vans from 5 to 90 m³ for tight streets or full houses.
• Crews used to UK building rules, clearways, and quiet hours.
• Parking permits and elevator bookings prepared in advance.
• The same team that loads also unloads whenever routing allows.
• Weather buffers built into long legs so timelines stay realistic.
• Insured, careful handling from first room to final placement.

Documents and visas (post Brexit essentials)

Getting the paperwork right turns border checks into a formality. Gather documents early, apply for ToR1 if you qualify, and keep digital copies on your phone for quick reference.

Who needs what

• UK or Irish citizens. You can live and work in the UK. Bring valid ID, proof of address for Right to Rent, and documents for Right to Work checks. Guidance: Right to Rent and Right to Work on GOV.UK.

• EU, EEA or Swiss citizens (non Irish). You usually need a UK visa to live or work. Common routes include Skilled Worker, Student, and Family visas. Start at the UK Visas and Immigration portal, then save your digital immigration status using View and Prove.

What you can bring, what to avoid

Moving household goods to Great Britain is straightforward when you follow ToR1 rules and UK restrictions. Use this table to decide quickly, then read the notes below before packing.

Permitted and restricted items at a glance

Customs checks with ToR1

• Attach a copy of your ToR1 approval and numbered inventory to the shipment file. We keep digital and printed copies for fast checks.
• Pack any non qualifying goods separately and list them clearly. Alcohol and new purchases usually sit outside ToR1 and may attract charges.

Paperwork to travel with you

• Passports, visas or digital status share code, ferry or tunnel booking, UK address proof, pet documents, and your vehicle and insurance papers if you are driving.

Pets

Bringing a dog, cat or ferret from Denmark to Great Britain is feasible with the right steps.

What you need

1. Microchip that meets ISO standards.
2. Rabies vaccination after microchip. Observe the required waiting time before entry.
3. Animal health certificate or EU pet passport issued by an official vet.
4. Tapeworm treatment for dogs given by a vet within the required window before arrival.
5. Approved route and carrier. Book pet friendly sailings and confirm carrier rules.

Rules and timing are detailed here: https://www.gov.uk/bring-pet-to-great-britain

FAQ

Can I move to the UK from Denmark after Brexit?

Yes. Many clients relocate every week. The process depends on your nationality and purpose. UK or Irish citizens can move freely. Most other EU citizens need an appropriate UK visa. Start with GOV.UK guidance and gather documents early. We handle ToR1 and transport while you focus on your visa steps.

Do I need ToR1 and when should I apply?

If you are transferring your normal residence to the UK and your goods are for personal use, ToR1 usually removes customs duty and import VAT. Apply before shipping, attach a numbered inventory, and keep the approval with your file. Details: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/transfer-of-residence-to-the-uk

Can I work in the UK as an EU citizen?

Irish citizens have Common Travel Area rights. Other EU, EEA and Swiss citizens typically need a suitable visa, for example Skilled Worker or Student. Employers will run a Right to Work check. Start here: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa and save your View and Prove status: https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status

How long does a Denmark to UK move take door to door?

Most dedicated van moves take 2 to 3 days once loaded. Copenhagen to London, Aarhus to Manchester, and Odense to Birmingham follow similar timelines. Groupage can be cheaper but may take longer depending on route planning and consolidation windows.

Can I bring my car, and how do I handle NOVA and DVLA?

Yes. Tell HMRC via NOVA after arrival, then register with DVLA if you are keeping the vehicle in the UK. Adjust headlights for left side driving, check insurance, MOT if required, and review ULEZ rules for London. Links: NOVA https://www.gov.uk/nova-log-in • DVLA https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk • ULEZ https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ulez

What about pets and breed rules in the UK?

Pets need microchip, rabies vaccination, and an animal health certificate or EU passport, plus tapeworm treatment for dogs. Some breeds have restrictions. Check guidance and book an approved route: https://www.gov.uk/bring-pet-to-great-britain

Do you offer Storage in Transit if my keys are delayed?

Yes. We can hold goods short term or longer. We stage deliveries to match your key handover and release boxes room by room so your first night is calm.

Can I book a last minute slot?

Usually yes. Use our Last Minute Moving option when dates shift. If we have a dedicated van returning from the UK, we can often fit urgent loads at short notice.

Is groupage safe for fragile items?

Yes, when packed correctly. We seal and label every consignment, crate high value items, and track everything with GPS. White Glove crating is available for art and instruments.

What size van do I need for moving to UK from Denmark?

Share a quick photo inventory and rough m³. We match you with 5, 10, 15, 30, or 90 m³ vehicles and plan access for tight Danish courtyards and UK city streets.

How do I get an accurate quote?

Send dates, origin and destination postcodes, access photos, and a box count or m³ estimate. We reply with a fixed, itemised quote. See our Packing Service and White Glove Delivery for tailored protection.

Summary

Moving from Denmark to UK becomes simple when you lock in three pillars: paperwork, planning, and protection. Get the right immigration status or visa where needed, secure ToR1 approval for duty free household goods, and keep a clean, numbered inventory. Choose the corridor that fits your dates, reserve elevators and parking on both sides, and match van size to your true m³ so loading is swift and safe. Add smart packing and you arrive calm, with beds built and boxes staged by room.

In practice, that means clarity at every step. You carry digital copies of key documents. We prepare CMR and ToR1 files, book the ferry or tunnel, and share a live GPS link so you always know where your shipment is. If dates slip, we add Storage in Transit and split delivery. For heirlooms and art, we switch to White Glove crating. The result is a smooth handover and a home that works on Day 1.

Final checklist before you book

• Confirm your status or visa and gather GOV.UK documents where relevant.
• Submit your ToR1 application and attach a numbered inventory.
• Share a photo inventory and access photos to size the van precisely.
• Decide on Packing Service for kitchens and fragile zones. Label two sides and make a Day 1 box.
• Pre book elevators and parking, note height limits, and prepare permits.
• Choose dedicated van for speed or groupage for savings. Review insurance levels.
