Moving to Finland
Moving from the UK to Finland? ClickMoves can help you arrange a reliable and cost-effective international removal service for household goods and personal effects. Whether you are moving a few boxes, part of a home or the contents of an entire property, we can help you find the most suitable option.
We arrange removals from across the UK to destinations throughout Finland, including Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Turku, Oulu and surrounding areas.
Moving from the UK to Finland
Moving your belongings from the UK to Finland is straightforward with the right planning. Since the UK left the European Union, household goods moving between the UK and Finland are subject to customs procedures, so it is important that the correct documentation is prepared before collection.
ClickMoves works with experienced international removal companies to provide door-to-door services between the UK and Finland, with options suitable for shipments of different sizes.
Removal services from the UK to Finland
The best way to move your belongings to Finland will depend on the size of your shipment, your preferred timescale and whether you require a shared or dedicated service.
We can arrange both shared groupage removals for smaller shipments and direct removal services for larger moves.
Shared and groupage removals to Finland
Groupage is usually the most cost-effective option for smaller international moves. Your belongings share vehicle space with other customers moving in the same direction, helping to reduce transport costs.
This can be particularly suitable if you are moving boxes, furniture, personal effects, student belongings or the contents of a small apartment.
Collections can be arranged throughout the UK, with onward delivery to destinations across Finland.
Direct and dedicated removals to Finland
For larger household moves, a direct or dedicated removal service may be more suitable. Your shipment is transported on a vehicle allocated specifically to your move rather than sharing space with other customers.
Dedicated removals generally provide greater flexibility over collection and delivery dates and are particularly suitable for full household moves or customers with larger volumes of furniture and personal effects.
Customs requirements when moving from the UK to Finland
Because Finland is a member of the European Union and the UK is no longer part of the EU customs territory, household goods moving from the UK to Finland must clear customs.
People transferring their normal residence from the UK to Finland may be able to import qualifying used household goods and personal effects without paying customs duty or import VAT, provided the relevant conditions are met.
The exact documentation required depends on your circumstances, but it may include an inventory or packing list, identification documents, proof of residence and documents showing that you are transferring your normal residence to Finland.
Your removal company or customs agent will advise you about the documentation required for your particular move.

How long do removals from the UK to Finland take?
Transit times depend on the type of service you choose, your collection and delivery locations, customs clearance and the volume of goods being moved.
Dedicated removals are generally faster because the vehicle travels directly to the destination. Groupage shipments normally take longer because several customers’ consignments are consolidated onto the same vehicle.
When comparing quotations, we can help you understand the estimated collection and delivery times for each option.
