Household Goods Shipping
Send a complete home or a smaller part-load from your US residence to destinations across Austria. Our international residential movers coordinate the contents from collection through final placement.
Moving to Austria from the USA
Moving from the USA to Austria involves more than the international journey itself. We organize packing, transport and customs clearance, then deliver your belongings to Vienna, Graz, Salzburg or another Austrian destination.

Your Move to Austria, Planned from Start to Finish
An Austrian relocation works best when the origin, transport and destination teams operate from the same schedule. Since 1948, we have managed overseas household moves, and as a full-service overseas moving company we bring packing, export paperwork, sea or air freight, Austrian customs clearance and final delivery into one coordinated service.
Your shipment can be a part-load from an apartment or the contents of an entire house. Our door-to-door international movers manage furniture, appliances, personal effects, vehicles, antiques and fine art, while a dedicated coordinator connects the US origin team with destination support. Our international movers in the USA then shape international relocation services around your inventory, Austrian address and preferred timing.

Our Austria Moving Services
Choose the level of help that fits your Austria move. Our international shipping company can combine household transport, packing, storage, vehicle handling and specialist crating under one accountable point of contact.
Vehicle Shipping

Corporate Relocation
Company-sponsored transfers to Vienna, Graz and other Austrian locations can be scheduled around start dates through our door-to-door international relocation services.

Crating
Custom protective crates can be built for artwork, instruments and other delicate pieces, with fine art shipping services available for higher-value items.
From home to destination
How Your Move to Austria Works
We break the relocation into six checkpoints rather than treating it as one long shipment. That gives you a clear handoff from planning and packing through customs and delivery.
-
Start with the Route
Tell us where the shipment leaves in the US, where it is going in Austria and roughly how much you are moving so we can build the right options.
-
Confirm the Inventory
A virtual or in-home survey measures the load and identifies pieces that need extra handling or crating.
-
Finalize the Schedule
We align service level, coverage and collection and delivery timing before packing begins.
-
Prepare the Shipment
Our crew wraps, inventories and loads the goods at your US residence for international transport.
-
Move Through Customs
The shipment travels by sea or air while we coordinate the documentation needed for Austrian clearance.
-
Complete Delivery
At destination, the goods are delivered to your Austrian address and unpacked when that service is included.
Flexible shipping choices
Choose the Right Shipping Method
Transport should match the load rather than force every move into the same solution. We compare cost, volume and timing, then price the sea, shared-container or air option that makes the most sense.
Best value for a whole house
Ocean Freight
For a larger household, a full container load (FCL) offers dedicated space and typically suits moves with more flexibility on transit time.
Smaller moves
Shared Container
Less-than-container-load international shipping lets a smaller shipment use only the container space it needs instead of paying for a full box.
Fastest option
Air Freight
Choose air when speed matters most, particularly for a compact shipment or essentials you want soon after arrival.
Prepare with confidence
Your Austria Shipping Checklist
Before packing starts, a few practical decisions can make the quote more accurate and reduce last-minute issues. Use this list to get the shipment ready.
-
Build a room-by-room list
Record what is moving and identify higher-value pieces so coverage and customs documents can be prepared accurately.
-
Review Austrian rules
The Austrian Finance Ministry explains transferring your residence from a non-EU country, including form ZBefr 2E and the twelve-month conditions.
-
Set the protection level
Match your coverage to the value and type of belongings in the shipment.
-
Gather the paperwork early
Keep identification, the inventory and evidence of your Austrian residence together for the clearance file.
-
Secure your dates
Reserving ahead gives more flexibility for preferred packing and transport windows during busy periods.
Plan your inventory
What Counts as Household Goods?
For this service, household goods means the used possessions that belong to your home rather than commercial freight. As an international shipping company focused on relocations, we can move furniture, appliances, kitchenware, clothing, books, decor, personal effects, antiques and fine art while keeping the shipment organized as personal effects for Austrian customs.
Common household shipments include
Check before you pack
Some goods sit outside the relief.
- Alcohol, tobacco and commercial vehicles are excluded.
- Used personal property qualifies once you have lived outside the EU for at least twelve months and are establishing residence in Austria.
- The EU relief regulation is the underlying law, and we prepare the file with you.
Experienced support matters
Why Use Professional Movers to Austria?
International moves to Austria involve handoffs between packing crews, carriers, customs and destination teams. Experienced international movers keep those handoffs connected so paperwork, timing and physical handling stay aligned.
-
Protection for international transit
Export packing and secure loading reduce movement and exposure while your belongings travel by sea or air.
-
Less administration on your side
With international residential movers coordinating the shipment, you can spend more time on housing, work and the practical details of settling in Austria.
-
Better-prepared clearance
Correct documentation and familiarity with Austrian procedures help reduce preventable customs delays and unexpected handling.
-
Special handling where it matters
Pianos, safes and oversized furniture need different equipment and planning, which is where our international piano moving services and specialist crews come in.
Our credentials include licensing and bonding (FMCSA / FMC, MC), FIDI and IAM membership, and BBB accreditation, supported by 78 years of moving experience. When comparing the best international relocation company options, many households look for a broad network, clear accountability and practical support. We provide those elements from hubs including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC and Boston, with overseas moving services sized for anything from a partial load to a full home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to move from the USA to Austria?
There is no single Austria moving price because volume, US pickup point, Austrian destination and transport method all affect the total. We quote your actual shipment and show the international moving services cost by option.
How long does shipping to Austria take?
Air shipments normally move faster than sea freight, while the final Austrian destination also affects the schedule. Once the route is set, your coordinator gives you a practical transit window for that specific move.
Can I import my household goods into Austria duty-free?
Usually, yes, as relocation goods, once you have lived outside the EU for at least twelve months and are moving your residence to Austria. We organize the inventory and supporting paperwork around those conditions.
What conditions apply to the relief?
In short, you must have had your normal residence outside the EU for at least twelve months, import within the set time limit, and keep the goods rather than sell or lend them for a year. We check your shipment fits before it ships.
Can you ship my car to Austria?
Yes, provided the vehicle meets the applicable requirements. Our international car shipping services can coordinate it alongside the household move and prepare the required documents before departure.
Which US cities can you ship to Austria from?
We collect nationwide and offer international moving company services from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Boston and beyond, arranging sea or air for each move to Austria.
Do you offer a free quote for Austrian moves?
Yes. Send us the US origin, Austrian destination and basic shipment details, and we will prepare a no-obligation estimate. Your free international moving quote will set out the route and service choices.
