Suggestions for Safe and Smart Furniture Transport on the Road to Holland

An international furniture shipment is not just putting items inside the truck; it is a cleverly planned strategy. The biggest challenges encountered while sending items from Turkey to Holland (Netherlands) are usually not logistics, but planning errors. As Han Bros Cargo, we share the experiences we have gained from thousands of shipments we have carried out so far with you as 'golden tips'. This information will save you both time and money in deliveries to all kinds of settlement units from the narrow canal houses of Amsterdam to the modern residences of Eindhoven. The security of your furniture starts with correct information.

4 Basic Tips for a Smooth Holland Shipment

Our expert suggestions that will make your moving process easier:

Do Volume Optimization: Definitely disassemble the decomposable (knock-down) parts of your furniture. Less volume (m3) means less cost. Store screws and connection parts in a special bag by labeling them.
Sidewall Protection and Layered Packaging: Just blankets are not enough against vibrations on foreign roads. Put cardboard corner protectors on the corners of your furniture and isolate the outermost layer from humidity with bubble wrap.
Prepare the Customs Inventory Honestly: Using detailed descriptions like '6 porcelain plates, 2 pots' instead of 'Kitchen Supplies' in your list reduces the risk of 'full inspection' at customs.
Know the Rotterdam-Amsterdam Difference: If your house is in the center of Amsterdam, finalize with your transporter that parking permission must be obtained from the municipality before the delivery day or the need for an elevator (Verhuislift).
