      Clara Meyer’s story: from slashing costs to hiking Zürich’s Uetliberg trail

      Clara Meyer’s move from Bristol to Zürich felt daunting—until MuveOne stepped in. As a project manager navigating post-Brexit logistics, she worried about Swiss customs paperwork and hidden removal costs. “I nearly postponed the move after hearing horror stories about VAT surprises,” Clara admits.

      MuveOne’s transparent pricing and full insurance coverage cut through the chaos. Their team guided her through customs declarations via a simple digital portal, avoiding the 20% import VAT trap. With driver assistance at £12/half-hour, Clara’s vintage books and standing desk arrived intact within 24 hours. “They transformed what I thought would be a €3,000 nightmare into a £1,200 breeze,” she says.

      The no-frills approach suited her eco-conscious values—she bought recyclable packing materials upfront and shared van space, slashing costs. Now hiking Zürich’s Uetliberg trail every weekend, Clara confirms: “MuveOne didn’t just move my boxes—they moved my life forward.”

      Save smart on your Swiss relocation: MuveOne’s cost-efficient approach

      Moving to Switzerland from the UK doesn’t have to drain your budget. MuveOne simplifies European removals with a transparent, no-frills service designed to keep costs low while maintaining reliability. Here’s how we make your residential move affordable and stress-free:

      Precise space planning with our cubic metre calculator

      Our easy-to-use online cubic metre calculator lets you determine exactly how much van space you need, eliminating guesswork and overpaying.
      Choose from 5m³ (300kg), 10m³ (600kg), 15m³ (1,200kg), or 30m³ (2,400kg) options to match your requirements.

      This self-service tool ensures you only pay for the space you use.

      DIY packing for maximum saving

      By handling your own packing, you avoid premium fees charged by full-service providers. We support your efforts with:

      • Heavy-duty shrink wrap and furniture blankets available for purchase.

      • Customisable loading/unloading assistance (£12/half-hour) to ease heavy lifting.

      This flexibility suits hands-on movers who prefer controlling their budget and timeline.

      Upfront pricing with no hidden charges

      Our all-inclusive quotes cover:

      • Fuel-efficient transport via Renault Master/Fiat Ducato vans.

      • Full insurance coverage for door-to-door protection.

      • Direct routes averaging 24 hours across 29 European countries.

      No surprise fees — just clear costs shared upfront, so you can plan confidently.

      Streamlined customs compliance

      We guide you through post-Brexit paperwork to secure Transfer of Residence status, helping avoid Switzerland’s 7.7% import VAT and 6.3% duties. Required documents include:

      • Completed Swiss Form 18.44.

      • 12 months of UK residency proof.

      • Swiss lease/employment contract.

      Our team verifies paperwork electronically before collection, reducing delays.

      Efficient operations, no unnecessary extras

      • No storage markups: We prioritise direct delivery to avoid costly interim storage.

      • Single-driver model: Reduces labour costs versus traditional multi-mover services.

      • Digital management: Book assistance slots and track documents via our customer portal.

      By focusing on essentials — secure transport, transparent pricing, and smart self-service tools — MuveOne delivers Swiss relocations up to 40% cheaper than conventional providers. Whether downsizing for retirement or prioritising family savings, our approach puts financial control back in your hands.

      Switzerland Customs - Removals to Switzerland

      Smooth customs clearance for your removals to Switzerland

      Relocating to Switzerland requires meticulous customs preparation – a process MuveOne streamlines as part of our all-inclusive removals service. Unlike EU moves, Swiss officials demand concrete proof of permanent residency transfer to waive 7.7% import VAT on personal belongings.

      Our team handles every detail: verifying your 12-month UK residency (via council tax statements or certificates), preparing bilingual inventories, and submitting Form 18.44 to border authorities.

      Whether you’re retiring to Lake Geneva or starting a new role in Zürich, we ensure compliance with Switzerland’s strict 24-month import window and six-month ownership rules. With upfront pricing covering document checks, real-time tracking, and full insurance, you avoid common pitfalls like unexpected duties or delayed shipments. Trust our decade of expertise moving UK households to navigate Swiss regulations seamlessly.

      Required documentation simplified

      To clear customs duty-free, you’ll need:

      • Proof of UK residency for 12+ months: Council tax bills, bank statements, or a UK certificate of residence.

      • Swiss residency evidence: Employment contract, lease agreement, or residence permit.

      • Detailed inventory listing every item’s dimensions, weight, and value.

      • Completed Swiss Form 18.44 in duplicate for household goods declaration.

      Full customs coordination

      Our team:

      • Verifies documents meet Swiss Federal Customs Administration standards.

      • Substitutes pre-move surveys with digital verification to accelerate clearance.

      • Handles bilingual (English/German) paperwork for Geneva/Zürich border points.

      Time-sensitive compliance

      Switzerland allows duty-free imports within 24 months of residency transfer. We:

      • Prioritize shipments to meet strict 6-month ownership rules for used goods.

      • Flag new items (under 6 months) requiring separate declaration.

      Transparent process

      • No storage delays: Direct deliveries using fuel-efficient Renault/Fiat vans.

      • Real-time tracking: Monitor customs status via WhatsApp/email updates.

      • Insurance included: Full coverage for high-value items like heirlooms.

      Common pitfalls we prevent

      • Incorrectly formatted inventories causing border delays.

      • Missing proof of address linking UK/Swiss residences.

      • Undeclared items triggering 30-100% penalty fees.

      For over 1,000 moves across Europe, we’ve refined a stress-free customs approach that aligns with Switzerland’s meticulous requirements. From completing Form 18.44 to coordinating with Zürich customs officials, we transform complex regulations into straightforward steps – ensuring your focus stays on settling into Swiss life, not border paperwork.
