Moving from Zurich to the Netherlands

Zurich is one of our most common starting points for Swiss relocations.

We can collect household goods in Zurich and surrounding areas and deliver directly to:

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Haarlem, Hoofddorp, Eindhoven, Leiden, Amersfoort, Breda, Tilburg, Nijmegen, Arnhem and other locations throughout the Netherlands.

A typical small apartment move of up to approximately 12 m³ starts around €2,050.

Larger moves can be arranged using several vehicles, allowing us to handle complete household relocations without requiring a large articulated removal truck.

Moving from Basel to the Netherlands

Basel is particularly well positioned for relocations to the Netherlands because of its direct connection through Germany.

For a move of up to approximately 12 m³, prices start around €2,000.

Basel is also suitable for larger household moves because our teams can travel through Germany directly toward the Netherlands while coordinating customs clearance at the Swiss border.

Moving from Geneva to the Netherlands

Geneva is a longer route and requires additional driving time, but we regularly operate throughout Western Switzerland.

A typical move of up to approximately 12 m³ starts around €2,150.

We can also collect in Lausanne, Montreux, Nyon and surrounding areas before transporting the shipment toward the Netherlands.

Customs When Moving from Switzerland to the Netherlands

Because Switzerland is not part of the EU customs territory, household goods must be declared when leaving Switzerland and when entering the European Union.

For relocation exports, Swiss customs states that an inventory list showing your Swiss address and your new foreign address should be presented to the export customs office.

When someone transfers their normal residence from a non-EU country into the EU, personal household property may qualify for relief from import duties under certain conditions. EU rules generally require that the person has normally lived outside the EU for at least 12 consecutive months and that qualifying non-consumable belongings have generally been owned and used for at least six months before the move.

We help our customers understand what documentation is required before collection so that customs formalities can be prepared in advance.

Documents commonly required can include:

1. Passport or identification

2. Swiss departure or residence documentation

3. Proof of the new address in the Netherlands

4. Detailed household inventory

5. Evidence that the goods are personal household belongings

6. Vehicle documentation if a private vehicle forms part of the relocation

7. Additional customs declarations where applicable

Exact requirements depend on the customer's circumstances and the type of goods being transported.

Packing and Furniture Protection

International transport requires better preparation than a short local move.

Our team can provide:

1. Professional moving boxes

2. Furniture blankets

3. Protective wrapping

4. Stretch film

5. Mattress protection

6. TV protection

7. Fragile-item packing

8. Furniture disassembly

9. Furniture reassembly

10. Complete or partial packing service

For televisions and particularly fragile electronics, suitable protective packaging is strongly recommended.

Direct Transport or Flexible Delivery

Depending on the size and timing of your move, we can provide either a dedicated direct relocation or coordinate the transport around our existing Switzerland–Germany–Netherlands routes.

Dedicated transport is normally preferred for complete households and customers who require specific collection and delivery dates.

Smaller moves can sometimes be combined with existing routes, which can reduce the cost.

Storage in Amsterdam

If your new home in the Netherlands is not ready when you leave Switzerland, ARSA Transport can also provide storage in Amsterdam.

Your belongings can be collected in Switzerland, customs-cleared into the Netherlands and stored until you are ready to receive them.

Storage is particularly useful for:

1. Temporary accommodation

2. Delayed property handover

3. Renovations

4. Corporate relocation

5. International clients waiting for housing

6. Staged household moves

Once your new address is available, we arrange final delivery.

Insurance

Transport liability is included with ARSA Transport moves.

Our current standard transport liability cover is up to €30,000 per move, with additional insurance options available when arranged before transport.

Customers should inform us in advance about unusually valuable, fragile or specialist items.
