An overseas move begins with a destination, not just a distance. Tell us where in Europe you are heading, what you want to bring and when you expect to arrive. We will help you work through the moving plan.
The right questions at the start make the next steps clearer. Explore the parts of your move we’ll plan together.
The distance changes. The care doesn’t.
EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS OWN DETAILS.
France, the United Kingdom and other European destinations require their own planning. Share the specific country and city so availability, local delivery and destination requirements can be reviewed.
02 / THE EXPERIENCE
A clear plan. Care at every step.
Inventory and packing. Customs preparation. Transport and delivery. A plan for each stage of the journey.
01THE KRATOS EXPERIENCE
01 — INVENTORY & PACKING
Prepare for Europe.
Decide what is coming with you and create a detailed inventory. Review furniture protection, fragile packing and the pickup arrangements with your moving contact.
Keep passports, essential documents and valuables with you. Agree what is included in the transport plan, who handles each stage and the expected timing.
A clear inventory starts the journey.
02 — CUSTOMS & DOCUMENTS
Get the paperwork in order.
Customs requirements vary by destination country; Europe is not one customs process. Confirm the rules for your destination, the required inventory and documents, and any restricted items before shipment.
Clarify responsibilities for forms, customs coordination and any duties or charges before booking. Clearance is determined by the relevant authorities, so avoid assuming that every item or shipment qualifies for relief.
Documents ready before departure.
03 — TRANSPORT & ARRIVAL
Coordinate the final stretch.
Confirm the arrival arrangements for your destination country. Allow for customs release and coordinate the final delivery address, receiving contact and building access.
Review the delivery inventory at handover and raise any concerns with your moving contact. Keep essential items accessible while the rest of your household settles in.
A considered arrival in your new country.
03 / BEFORE MOVING DAY
A little preparation. A smoother start.
An overseas or cross-border move brings destination-specific details. Gather your inventory, delivery information and timing so each stage can be discussed together.
Start with the details below. Your Kratos agent will review the scope, access and timing with you before the move is confirmed.

04 / THE MOVING DIARIES
Every move has a story.
The boxes. The busy days. The fresh starts. Follow along for a closer look at moving day.
Does moving to Europe mean the same process for every country?+
No. Destination requirements, access and delivery arrangements vary by country and address. Start with your actual destination so the team can review the right scope.
Do you offer transatlantic moving enquiries?+
Yes, tell us your departure point and European destination. We will review the route, inventory and available arrangements before confirming a moving plan.
Should I ship all my furniture?+
Compare your inventory with the size and access of your next home. Measurements, sentimental value and the support you need can help you decide what to include in the quote.
Which transport method will be used?+
The appropriate arrangements depend on your destination, shipment size and timing. Discuss the available options with the team rather than assuming a particular transport method is included.
How should I plan arrival dates?+
Share your travel, possession and receiving dates. International processing and transport windows need to be considered before arranging building access or dependent appointments.
Do you have more specific destination pages?+
Our France and United Kingdom pages cover the next level of moving preparation. For another European destination, share the country and city so availability can be reviewed.
