Peter and Alladin were excellent. They carefully wrapped our furniture so that all arrived in perfect condition. They were able to move large items from the basement of one house to the basement of our new home with ease and with no damage to the walls...we were impressed. This is our second time using Metropolitan Movers to move from Toronto to Prince Edward County. Thank you Peter and Alladin.

Dima and Viktor were our movers. They packed an antique glass cabinet with precision and care. The cabinet is being shipped to the US. Hopefully it arrives in the same condition it left.

    Q&A for Moving from Canada to Germany

    We’ll assist with all required documentation, including customs declaration and registration forms, ensuring a smooth customs process.

    Yes, provided it has been in your possession for at least 6 months. We’ll guide you through the process, including inspection and registration in Germany.

    Pets need a vaccination record and a health certificate. We’ll help ensure all requirements are met for a hassle-free move.

    Yes, items like weapons, narcotics, and certain food products are restricted or prohibited. We’ll provide a detailed list to ensure compliance.

    Shipping times vary by method. Air freight typically takes 3-5 days, while ocean freight takes approximately 20-35 days, depending on the final destination and customs processing.

    While it’s not mandatory for you to be present, having all required documents ready, including the customs registration form 0350 and Anmeldebestätigung, facilitates smoother clearance. Our local partners can represent you during the process.

    Key documents include your passport, visa, bill of lading/air waybill, packing list in German or English, customs declaration, and the Anmeldebestätigung (registration confirmation from the local town hall).

    Yes, but these items are subject to duties and taxes and must be declared separately. We recommend avoiding large quantities as the process involves additional customs clearance, and it’s not included in standard destination rates.

    These documents are crucial for returning citizens or those moving for work to prove their stay abroad and employment in Germany. Lack of these documents may complicate the duty-free import of your household goods. We advise obtaining these documents before your move or discussing alternatives with our moving consultants.

    Your vehicle must have been owned and used by you for at least 6 months before relocation. Required documents include proof of ownership, car documents, original bill of lading, Anmeldebestätigung, and insurance card from your country of origin.

    Pets need a valid vaccination record and a health certificate in German or translated by a licensed veterinarian. The certificate should confirm the pet is free from rabies and other diseases.
