Step-by-Step Moving Journey to Austria
Moving to a new country, especially Austria, the heart of Europe, is an exciting start. However, an international door-to-door moving operation covering thousands of kilometers requires professional planning. At Han Bros Cargo, we have divided this road from Turkey to Austria into 5 main stages for you. Here is that flawless process from your belongings being picked up from your door until they are set up at your new address:
1. Free Survey and Planning
Every successful operation starts with accurate data. Our experts come to your home or extract the list of items to be moved through video calls. At this stage, the volume (m3) of your belongings, the degree of sensitivity, and the physical conditions of the destination address in Austria (floor status, narrow streets, etc.) are analyzed. The most suitable shipping method and a transparent price quote are presented to you.
2. Professional Packing and Inventory Record
In international transport, your belongings may pass through multiple transfer points. Therefore, we protect your furniture and white goods with our "Double Wrapped" packing system. Every box and item is given a number, and a detailed "Packing List" is created. This list is vital for both insurance and customs procedures.
3. Customs and Documentation Support
Austrian customs (Zollamt) request certain documents for personal belongings shipments. As Han Bros Cargo, we provide you with full support in the management of documents such as notarized power of attorney, declaration preparation, and residence/employment contracts required for the items to be cleared tax-free in Austria. Our customs consultants quickly complete the procedures at the border gates (usually Kapikule and Nickelsdorf) on your behalf.
4. Transit Journey and GPS Tracking
After your belongings are loaded onto our modern trucks, the journey begins. You can follow our vehicles traveling to Austria via Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary rotas instantly via GPS. We provide a shake-free and safe cruise according to our safe driving principles.
5. Setup at Address and Delivery
When your belongings reach your new home in Vienna, Graz, Linz, or Innsbruck, we don't just carry them. We open the packages, perform the assembly of your furniture, and place the items in your rooms. All you have to do is enjoy your new home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pack my belongings myself?
Yes, but for the accuracy of the "Packing List" at customs and the insurance scope, we recommend that sensitive items that can break be packed by Han Bros Cargo experts.
Will my belongings get stuck at customs in Austria?
As long as the necessary documents (such as residence papers) are complete, there are no customs barriers for your personal belongings. Han Bros Cargo manages these procedures for you.
Are my belongings insured during transport?
Yes, all our shipments are fully secured with international CMR insurance and additional transport insurance made over the inventory value.
Is it economical to take my old belongings to Austria?
Since furniture prices are high in Austria, taking your quality and usable items is usually much more economical than buying new ones.
Is an elevator necessary at the departure and arrival addresses?
If the building interior stairs are narrow or your belongings are going to high floors, we can set up external facade elevators in both Turkey and Austria.
