International move

Moving from Morocco to Germany

Germany is the longest overland run we operate from Morocco, and also the most spread out: Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin are far apart from one another, so the destination city changes the job considerably more than it does on shorter corridors.

The route

How the Germany corridor works

From Morocco

Via Road & ferry

To Germany

Transit time. Typically 8 to 13 days door to door, depending strongly on which German city you are moving to.

The route crosses at Tanger Med, runs the length of Spain, crosses France and enters Germany by road. It is a long haul, and we plan it as one: driver rest periods are part of the schedule, not an afterthought, and we would rather quote a realistic transit time than an optimistic one.

Because the German cities are so far apart, the destination matters. A delivery in Cologne or Frankfurt is meaningfully closer than one in Berlin or Hamburg, and that difference shows up in both the timetable and the quote.

Customs

Customs when entering Germany

Transfer of residence relief

Germany applies the EU transfer-of-residence rules. Used household goods normally enter free of duty and VAT when you are genuinely moving your normal residence into the EU, having lived outside it for at least twelve months and owned and used the goods for at least six months.
German customs expect precision

The inventory needs to be genuinely detailed, and German customs are known for reading it. Vague entries such as "box of household items" invite questions; itemised, valued lines do not. It is worth the extra hour it takes to do properly.
Anmeldung comes into it

Registration of your address with the local authority is central to German administration and proof of it commonly supports the customs file. Starting it promptly on arrival keeps the two processes from blocking each other.

Morocco to Germany: frequently asked questions

How long does a move from Morocco to Germany take?

Typically eight to thirteen days door to door, and the destination city matters more than on any other corridor. Frankfurt and Cologne are meaningfully closer than Berlin or Hamburg.

Why does the German city change the price so much?

Because the country is large and the cities are far apart. Once the truck has crossed France, a delivery in Cologne and one in Berlin are separated by a substantial extra leg.

Will I pay duty on my household goods?

Normally no. Germany applies the EU transfer-of-residence relief, so used belongings enter free of duty and VAT when you are genuinely transferring your residence and meet the twelve-month and six-month conditions.

How detailed does the inventory need to be?

More detailed than you would expect. German customs read the inventory carefully, and entries like "box of household items" invite questions. Itemised, valued lines are what keep a file moving.

Is groupage available to Germany?

Yes, particularly to the western cities, which can share a departure with Belgium and northern France. For Berlin and Hamburg a dedicated truck is more often the practical answer.

Can you also ship a car?

Vehicles follow different rules from household goods and are quoted separately. Tell us what you have and we will set out what is involved.
