Relocation to the United Kingdom
Your reliable partner for Relocation to the United Kingdom. Koch Umzugslogistik – for 125 years.
Since Brexit, the United Kingdom is no longer an EU member, which means customs formalities are required. Koch Umzugslogistik knows the new UK regulations and handles the complete documentation. We organise your move to London, Manchester, Edinburgh or any other British city – by road transport via the Eurotunnel or ferry.
Household goods qualify for customs relief when you relocate your residence (Transfer of Residence Relief), provided you meet the conditions. We check this in advance and prepare all the documents. Transit time is 3–5 days to southern England and 5–7 days to Scotland. On request, we advise you on visas, the National Insurance Number and registering your residence with the Council.
