Shipping Options When Moving to New Zealand from the US
The shipping option you choose will dictate transit time & cost. Here’s what you have to choose from:
Shared Container
Shared container: The benefit is that you only pay for the volume you’re shipping, which is good if you don’t have enough cargo to fill a container. Essentially, you don’t have to pay for the space you don’t use. The drawback is you have to wait for the container to be filled by other customers, which can add to transit time.
Sole Container
Sole container: The benefit of this is that you get a flat rate and quicker transport because you don’t have to wait for others to fill up the container. The drawback is that it is more expensive than shared containers.
Air Freight
Air freight: The benefit is your shipment will get to Denmark in a matter of hours. The drawback is that this option is very expensive. It’s also only for smaller shipments.
How Long Does it Take to Ship Goods to Denmark?
The location of the departure port has a big bearing on transit times to Denmark from the U.S. in relation to Europe. From East Coast ports such as New York, Savannah, and Houston, transit times are between 11 and 17 days. Meanwhile, from West Coast ports, including Los Angeles, transit times can be upwards of 31 days after sailing.
On top of the actual sailing time, you also have to factor in additional time needed for packing, delivery to the port, and port clearance processes. Other things that influence time are the chosen shipping option, the weight or amount of your cargo, and more.
What You Need When Moving to Denmark From the USA?
When relocating to Denmark from the USA, you will need to provide:
âś“ Your passport
âś“ Residence Visa/permit
âś“ Work Permit

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car to Denmark?
Shipping costs when making the move from the U.S. to Denmark depend on a number of factors, mainly the volume of goods that you wish to ship, your location in the U.S., and the distance between the departure and destination ports.
You will pay more if you use one container for yourself. If you share a container with another customer, you will pay less.
Duties and taxes will also increase costs. Denmark has a very high VAT rate in the EU, clocking in at around 25 percent. Tax on other goods and personal effects can fall somewhere between five and 14 percent.
No matter what, we cannot stress enough the importance of getting a custom quote from us before creating your budget. This will give you the most accurate price with the most accurate transit times.
