There are virtually no restrictions on anything you want to carry. Whether your move is for private or professional reasons, Austria is part of the European Union, and private moving goods can therefore be imported largely duty-free and VAT-free. Neither a residence permit or visa, nor a work permit are required. There are also no customs duties. There are no border controls, and your Geuer relocation consultant knows exactly what formalities are required for you. He will be happy to provide you with detailed information during your first consultation.
If you want your move to be as stress-free and smooth as possible, it is best to make use of our professional moving service for international furniture transport. In doing so, you discuss with your personal relocation consultant which work should be carried out by our experts and whether you would like to take care of some of the tasks yourself.
Of course, our moving experts will also be happy to take care of all the moving preparations, from disassembling and dismantling furniture, packing clothes, books and crockery, to all possible official paperwork. Planning the most cost-effective moving route is part of our moving services.
If you are moving into a furnished apartment in Salzburg, we will store your currently unneeded household goods safely and dryly for you for a transitional period. In the course of planning your move, you should also decide whether and which items need to be moved at all. Often, a new acquisition of obsolete items at the new place of residence makes perfect sense, and you can use the move to sort them out. In such cases, our experienced movers will of course also take care of the proper disposal. If your removal goods are ultimately limited to a manageable load, we can have them transported for you at a very reasonable price, for example by means of suitable additional loads.
