Packing Your Possessions For Finland
Abels Moving Services advises that Packing is recommended for all your items and possessions when moving to Finland. Furniture will be wrapped and protected by woollen blankets when items are transported to accompany you on your new life in Finland. At Abels, we provide Expert Packing Services.
Items will be moved from the UK in a large removal vehicle. In situations where access is not suitable for a large removal vehicle for delivering your possessions in Finland, your possessions may need to be shuttled onto a smaller local delivery vehicle due to vehicle size restrictions in some areas of Finland.
There may be occasions when items can require more extensive packing service for more valuable and delicate items. These items will be identified when discussing with your Customer Service Manager, we are renowned for moving antiques, fine art, and valuable items.
With Abels Moving Services the highest quality packing materials are utilized. If you wish to pack items yourself for your move, our removal teams are always happy to make arrangements for your items. However, please be assured that our packing teams are trained and employed for their professionalism, so your items will be in the best condition when they arrive with you in Finland.

Customs Information
Since the UK left the EU we no longer have ‘free movement of goods’ between the UK and Finland. This means the import of your household goods (furniture and personal effects) are subject to import and export rules and procedures.
Your Abels Move Manager will provide you with tailored information to guide you through this part of the relocation process.
For now, here is a little breakdown of what to expect to help you start planning your move abroad.
For your items to clear customs, you will need to provide some specific documentation. Our friendly team will discuss these requirements with you ahead of your move, the documents required at customs will depend on your status and personal situation.

Destination Services In Finland
With items moved by Abels Moving Services to Finland, Abels will take care of all aspects of the destination services with our own removal teams on our vehicles.
For the majority of deliveries we use one of our large removal vehicles. In situations were it is necessary to deliver items in Finland by using a smaller delivery vehicle, Abels will make arrangements to transport the items by road in a normal removal delivery vehicle and then tranship to a smaller appropriate vehicle locally in Finland.
Another consideration for delivery is the number of properties located on higher floors needing careful planning for delivery of your items. This can often be in conjunction with the concierge who will confirm the access possibility to the elevator and times approved for access. Some properties may only permit delivery utilising an external elevator.
An Advance Payment Guarantee Scheme operated by the British Association of Removers provides protection for prepayments made by our private customers (consumers) in the unlikely circumstance of Abels ceasing to trade and fulfilling a contract which has been paid for. This used to be provided by IMMI.
Normal service for delivery into Finland includes delivery into rooms of your choosing, unpacking of carton items to a flat surface, set up of normal furniture removal and placement into positions as instructed, disposal of waste packaging materials. Should you prefer, arrangements can be made for a put away service of carton items / maid cleaning / relocation or settling in services – should you have specific requirements, please discuss with your Abels Customer Service Manager or Abels Customer Liaison.
At Abels, we have a dedicated team that will ensure your move abroad is stress-free! Make An Enquiry today regarding your move to Finland.
