Moving Household Goods to Germany Costs: Transparent Pricing Guide
Moving from Turkey to Germany involves several planning steps, one of the most important being shipping costs. At Han Bros Cargo, we work with the "no hidden fees" principle and provide all details of household goods shipping prices to Germany to our customers. With our updated logistics network as of 2026, we have developed different transport modules suitable for every budget.
4 Main Elements Determining Costs
When creating a shipping quote, our system analyzes these four main data points:
- Item Volume (Cubic Meters): In international shipping, the space occupied by items (m3) is taken as the basis for the price rather than weight. While we have standard m3 estimates for 1+1, 2+1, or 3+1 home contents, the exact price is given after a free survey.
- Route and City: The distance between the departure point in Turkey and the destination in Germany. For example, there are differences in road and ferry costs between the Istanbul-Munich line and the Izmir-Hamburg line.
- Customs Services: Personal belongings declaration preparation, customs consultancy, and border crossing documents are items included in the cost.
- Additional Services: Professional packaging, furniture assembly-disassembly services, and elevator use are optionally priced.
Budget-Friendly Package Options
We are with you with our tailored solutions based on your need:
- Economy Package: A choice where you do the packaging and we manage only the loading, transport, and customs processes.
- Standard Package: The closest system to the "turnkey" model where items are professionally packed by us and furniture is disassembled and reassembled.
- VIP Package: Comfortable transport where everything from fine disassembly to placement, from special insurance to storage is managed by Han Bros Cargo.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is M3 (Cubic Meter) calculated?
The volume of each piece is found by multiplying the width, length, and height of the items. Total volume determines the space to be occupied inside the truck. For example, 10 standard boxes occupy approximately 1 m3.
When are Germany shipping prices updated?
Our prices are periodically revised in line with global fuel costs and exchange rates. Once you get a quote, our price is usually fixed for 30 days.
Is customs duty included in the price?
In personal belongings transport, our customers who meet the legal requirements (such as holding the items for at least 6 months) do not pay tax. Our shipping price includes customs clearance service fees, but potential customs duties (on optional new items) belong to the customer.
How is the insurance fee calculated?
It is a nominal amount calculated as a per mille rate over the total declared value of the items. This payment is strongly recommended as it secures the entire shipment.
Is there a credit card payment option?
Yes, at Han Bros Cargo, we provide convenience to our customers with credit card installment options or secure payment methods.
