Costs & transit for your relocation to Italy

For a move to Italy within the EU there are no customs formalities or import duties, as Germany and Italy are both part of the EU single market – your household goods cross the border without clearance. Because transport is by truck via the Brenner or Gotthard route, the cost of a move to Italy depends mainly on distance, volume and accessibility (narrow old-town streets, ZTL restricted-traffic zones, missing elevators). For registering your residence at the Anagrafe we recommend a detailed inventory list, which we are happy to prepare as part of your move to Italy.

Where we regularly go in Italy

The destinations we are asked about most – and what sets each apart logistically.

South Tyrol & Lake Garda

The shortest and most requested route. German-speaking administration in South Tyrol noticeably simplifies registration at the destination.

Transit
2–4 days
Route
Direct truck service

Milan & northern Italy

Predominantly career moves. ZTL restricted-traffic zones apply in the city centre – we apply for access permits in advance through the local partner.

Transit
3–5 days
Route
Direct truck service

Tuscany

Florence, Siena and the surrounding countryside. Many destinations are country houses with unpaved access, so we often plan for transshipment onto smaller vehicles.

Transit
4–6 days
Route
Direct truck service

Rome & Sicily

The longest mainland routes. For Sicily the ferry crossing from Villa San Giovanni is added, which means one to two extra days.

Transit
5–8 days

Services for your relocation to Italy

Everything from a single source – from the first box in Germany to the reassembled wardrobe at your destination.

Direct truck service

Your own vehicle, loaded in Germany and unloaded at the destination – no transshipment, the shortest transit and a fixed delivery date.

Groupage on an existing route

We fill spare capacity on a run that is happening anyway. The most economical option for smaller volumes and flexible dates.

Packing & furniture assembly

Export-grade packing by our own crew, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, plus fitted kitchens on request.

Interim storage in our own halls

If the moving-out and moving-in dates do not line up, we store your goods in our own warehouses in Osnabrück – by the day or by the month.

EU formalities & registration

No customs declaration within the EU. We prepare the inventory list for the transport and tell you which registrations are due on arrival.

Transport insurance

Cover at the replacement value of your goods, not at the statutory liability minimum – including claims handling if anything goes wrong.

Relocation to Italy

Italian old towns with their narrow streets call for experience – we know the challenges and plan the final mile accordingly, often with smaller vehicles or lifts. As an EU member, there are no customs formalities. On request, we help you apply for the Codice Fiscale and register with your new Italian municipality.
