TL;DR
- Post‑Brexit reality: household goods can be duty free under EU personal property relief when you transfer your normal residence. Keep a numbered inventory and proof of your move. Confirm edge cases with SKAT.
- Customs essentials: UK ToR1 applies only when importing to the UK. For Denmark, use the EU/DK relief for personal property. Pre clear vehicles and unusually high volumes of alcohol directly with Danish Customs.
- People paperwork: passports, visas or SIRI approvals where relevant. After landing, register CPR, set up MitID, choose a GP on Sundhed.dk, and create your SKAT tax card.
- Right van, right price: choose 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 90 m³. Share a photo inventory and access photos so we size accurately and avoid shuttles.
- Fast corridors that work: UK → FR/NL/BE → DE → DK via Dover–Calais/Dunkirk or Harwich–Hook of Holland. Typical dedicated transit 2–3 days once loaded.
- Pack like a pro: double wall boxes, labels on two sides, a clearly marked Day 1 box. Add Packing Service or White Glove for art, antiques and pianos.
- Save real money: book midweek, pre book elevators and permits, choose groupage for small flexible loads, and keep box counts accurate.
- Control and care: insured crews, protected buildings, and live GPS tracking from first lift to final placement with one coordinator.
- Next step: send photos, get a fixed, itemised quote with realistic dates.
Introduction
Removals to Denmark from UK should feel calm and beautifully choreographed. Think clean floor runners, lift pads set on time, boxes numbered and colour coded, and the right van waiting at a properly reserved bay. You arrive rested, not rattled, because every step follows a plan.
VANonsite blends courteous, insured crews with a modern 5–90 m³ fleet, pro packing options and meticulous building protection. We book ferries and elevators, navigate city access, and keep you in control with live GPS and a clear, itemised quote before we touch a single box.

Post‑Brexit paperwork: what changed and what did not
Residence and visas at a glance
- EU/EEA/Swiss nationals living in the UK can usually move under free movement based on work, study or sufficient means. On arrival in Denmark, register grounds and address to obtain CPR. Guidance: Life in Denmark → https://lifeindenmark.borger.dk/
- UK nationals and other non EU citizens need the correct Danish residence route. Most permits are handled by SIRI (Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration) → https://nyidanmark.dk/
Customs and duty relief for personal property
Moving household goods from the UK to Denmark after Brexit is an import into the EU. You can usually claim duty and VAT relief for personal property when you transfer your normal residence to Denmark. In practice this means:
- Goods are for your personal use, not resale.
- You owned and used them before the move (typically 6 months or more for many categories).
- You import within a reasonable window of your move and you do not sell or lend the goods for a set period after import (often up to 12 months).
- You keep a numbered, itemised inventory that matches labels on boxes and large items.
Check the current relief conditions and any exclusions with SKAT/Toldstyrelsen → https://www.skat.dk/ and Danish Customs → https://www.toldst.dk/
Your documents pack for border and settlement
For the shipment
- Passport copy for the shipper
- Numbered inventory with room codes and simple descriptions
- Proof of your previous address outside Denmark and your new address in Denmark (tenancy or purchase)
- Indicative move plan or booking confirmation showing dates and route
- Transport document (CMR) from the carrier
- Any special declarations for vehicles, alcohol or restricted goods
For living in Denmark (bring originals where possible)
- Passport or national ID, marriage/birth certificates if relevant
- SIRI approval or proof of EU grounds where applicable
- Tenancy or housing confirmation, employment or admission letters
- Appointment confirmations for Borgerservice, Sundhed.dk or SKAT
Timeline you can follow
- 4–6 weeks before departure. Confirm your residence route with SIRI or the EU route, collect proofs of address and ownership, and draft your numbered inventory.
- 2–3 weeks before. Book ferries and lifts, request parking permits, and share access photos. Ask us about Storage in Transit if key dates are fluid.
- Load day. Keep a printed copy of your inventory and key documents with you. We handle the CMR and transport paperwork.
- Arrival week. Register CPR and address at Borgerservice, set up MitID, select a GP on Sundhed.dk, and create your SKAT tax card.
Tip: store PDFs on your phone. If a document is delayed, we can hold your effects securely and deliver as soon as keys or appointments are confirmed.

- We pre book ferries and channel crossings to avoid delays and to protect elevator windows on delivery.
Sample itinerary
| Day | Origin and load | Crossing | Destination plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Load, confirm elevator slots | Dover–Calais or Harwich–Hook | Overnight near DE border |
| 1 | Long motorway leg through DE | — | Deliver Denmark; assemble beds first |
Access and permits
- Book elevator windows and loading bays on both sides.
- Share height limits, low bridges, courtyard turns. We plan shuttles when streets are tight.
- Copenhagen inner city often benefits from early morning delivery slots and pre arranged parking.

FAQ
- Do I pay customs when moving from UK to Denmark?
Personal household goods are usually duty free under EU personal property relief when transferring residence. Keep a numbered inventory and proof of residence change. Confirm with SKAT. - How long does UK to Denmark take?
Dedicated van typically 2–3 days once loaded. Groupage is cheaper but can take longer. - Can you handle last minute moves?
Yes. We maintain Last Minute Moving capacity when calendars allow. - Is groupage safe for fragile items?
Yes, with correct packing and labelling. Add White Glove for art and antiques. - What size van do I need for house removals UK to Denmark?
Share a photo inventory. We match 5 or 10 or 15 or 30 or 90 m³ vehicles. - Can I bring my car?
Check SKAT for vehicle import, registration and taxes before shipping a car to Denmark. - Are there student or small removals options?
Yes. Small removals via Moving Basic or Moving Medium, or groupage, keep costs lean. - How much does it cost to move from the UK to Denmark?
It depends on volume, access and service. As real‑world guideposts: 5 m³ part load €900–€1,300, 10 m³ dedicated €1,800–€2,600, 15 m³ dedicated €2,600–€3,600, 30 m³ dedicated €4,600–€6,400. Exact prices follow your photos, box count and dates. - How much does it cost to ship from the UK to Denmark?
For small household consignments, groupage is the value play. Expect roughly €700–€1,500 for 2–7 m³ with a flexible window. Pallet or parcel courier pricing is different and usually not ideal for furniture. Ask for an itemised quote so you only pay for used space. - Is it hard to move to Denmark from the UK?
Not with the right plan. Pre‑book lifts and bays, prepare a numbered inventory, keep passports and originals with you, and choose dedicated or groupage to match your timeline. We handle CMR, ferry bookings and building protection so the day runs smoothly. - What is the cheapest way to get to Denmark from England?
For people, budget flights are often cheapest. For household goods, groupage is the lowest cost because you share space. Be flexible on dates, avoid bank holidays, and ship compactly to cut the bill without cutting safety. - Can I move to Denmark if I only speak English?
Yes. Most Danes speak excellent English and many workplaces are international. Daily life is easy in English, though learning basic Danish opens more roles and helps with public offices and community life. - What is cheaper in Denmark than the UK?
Big‑ticket living costs can be similar or higher, but you can save on public transport passes, cycling instead of a car, mobile and broadband bundles, and used furniture sourced locally. Childcare fees can be offset by municipal subsidies. Smart choices make Denmark feel friendlier on the wallet.
Summary
Moving home from the UK to Denmark can be smooth, fast, and crystal clear when you follow a proven plan. Nail the paperwork, keep a numbered inventory, size the van to your true volume, and secure lifts and permits on both sides. Choose dedicated for speed or groupage for value. Pack smart, protect the building, and track your shipment with live GPS. The result is a calm move and a home that feels ready from day one.
