    For DMS Niesen, no destination is too ambitious and no place is too far away. We plan your international move on a case-by-case basis, select the best transport route – by road, sea freight or air freight – and take care of all customs formalities. We load your belongings into standardised shipping containers as soon as you move out, thereby avoiding the need for multiple transhipments.

    Our all-in-one package for your move abroad

    Viewing & Planning

    We’ll discuss your project in person, via video call or using our digital survey on your smartphone. This will result in a bespoke plan, including a timetable, transport route and a quote tailored precisely to your needs.

    Packing for a trip

    For long-distance transport, we pack your belongings properly and ensure they are particularly secure – from delicate porcelain to clothes, computers and televisions.

    Sea freight

    Your belongings will be loaded into standardised shipping containers as soon as you move out and transported directly onto lorries and inland waterway vessels. There is no need for multiple transhipments – which protects your belongings.

    Air freight

    When speed is of the essence, we deliver urgently needed removal goods to their destination by air freight – in coordination with our global network of partners.

    Road, rail, water

    We choose the best route by land, sea or air and are familiar with the key ferry connections. With our own fleet of lorries, we can reach many destinations in Europe directly.

    Customs, Insurance & Storage

    We are familiar with the restrictions on the type and quantity of goods in the destination countries and take care of all the formalities. If required, we can store your removal goods temporarily – your move is fully insured.

    That’s what makes us
    special

      FAQ

      How does an international move with Niesen work?

      First, we’ll discuss your plans during a free site visit – either in person, via video call or digitally on your smartphone. We’ll then draw up a personalised schedule, transport route and packing plan, and provide you with a tailor-made quote. On the day of the move, we’ll load your belongings, take care of customs formalities and transport, and deliver them to your destination.

      How will my belongings be transported abroad?

      Depending on the destination, we choose road, sea or air freight – or a combination of these. For overseas removals, we load your belongings into standardised sea containers as soon as you move out; these are then transported directly onto lorries and inland waterway vessels. This eliminates the need for multiple transhipments.

      Does Niesen handle customs clearance?

      Yes. We are familiar with the restrictions on goods and quantities in each country and take care of all the necessary formalities, including customs clearance. You will receive a clear overview in advance of the documents required.

      Which countries are you moving to?

      Thanks to our global network of partners, we organise removals to many countries – within Europe, often using our own fleet of lorries, and overseas by sea or air freight. Please contact us with your desired destination and we will advise you on the options available.

      Are my belongings insured whilst in transit?

      Yes, your belongings are fully insured. Thanks to proper packing, trained staff and our knowledge of international transport law, we ensure that your belongings arrive safely at your new home.

      Can I store my belongings temporarily whilst I’m moving house?

      Yes, as an optional service, we can store your belongings in our container storage facilities in Leverkusen – for example, if your new flat isn’t ready for you to move into yet. We’ll then deliver them at a time of your choosing.
