Your personal relocation consultant knows all the formalities and knows exactly which things need to be taken care of, which deadlines need to be met and documents need to be filled out, and which official offices are responsible for you.

Our best moving service

To make your move to Zurich as stress-free and smooth as possible, it is best to take advantage of our moving service for international furniture transport.

Of course, our relocation experts will also be happy to take care of the complete relocation preparations, including customs formalities. The transfer of residence to Switzerland is the most important condition for your household goods, personal collections, animals or your car to be imported into Switzerland duty-free. The imported items must also have been used by you personally for at least 6 months and they must continue to be used by you after importation.

Our relocation services also include planning the optimal transport route. In the event that you first move into a furnished apartment in Bern, our moving company will provide proper storage for your currently unneeded household goods. In the course of planning the move, it should also be decided whether and which items have to be moved at all. Often a new acquisition of many things is cheaper than the transport. Of course, our experienced movers will also take care of the proper disposal. If your removal goods are ultimately limited to a manageable load, then we recommend that you have them transported by inexpensive additional loads.
