How to Send Furniture from Turkey to Germany?
Germany is a country with great interest in Turkish furniture design and quality. Whether you are moving your home to Germany or sending a newly purchased furniture set from Turkey to a loved one, the customs and logistics rules of this process differ. At Han Bros Cargo, we offer professional solutions to all German states for both individual furniture shipments and commercial deliveries.
Customs and Documents for Furniture Shipping
The most critical issue in furniture shipping is the status of the item. If your furniture is used (personal item), no customs duty is paid. However, if you are sending newly purchased furniture from Turkey, the following documents and processes come into play:
- EUR.1 Movement Certificate: We prepare this document for your furniture to be exempt from or have discounted customs duty, benefiting from the free trade agreement between Turkey and the EU.
- Invoice and Accrual: A sales invoice is required for newly purchased furniture. VAT (MwSt) is calculated based on this invoice at customs.
- CMR Document: It is the international road transport document and certifies all shipping responsibility.
Professional Packaging and Stacking
Furniture is the item group most prone to breaking and scratching. At Han Bros Cargo, we use special protectors for corners, thick cardboards for glass parts, and bubble wrap for the entire body. Our assembly-disassembly team minimizes the volume by taking furniture apart, thus both reducing shipping costs and increasing transport security.
Delivery Details to German Cities
Our delivery points in Germany cover all towns as well as large metropolises like Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Cologne, and Hamburg. Obtaining a parking permit (Halteverbot) in large cities directly affects delivery time and security. Our teams do not just leave your furniture in front of the door; they transport it into your home and complete the process by performing its installation.
