Door-to-door removals from the UK to Zug. We pack and load in Britain, run the road leg to the Swiss frontier, and our Swiss destination agent clears customs and delivers to your address in canton Zug. BAR Overseas Group member, fully insured.
Removals to Zug from the UK are handled end to end — we pack and load in Britain, run the road leg to the Swiss frontier, and our Swiss destination agent clears customs and delivers to your door in canton Zug. German is the working language here, and the practical details of a Zug delivery are genuinely different from anywhere else in the country, which is why this page exists rather than a generic Switzerland one.
Zug is small, extremely wealthy and disproportionately important. Its low corporate tax rates drew commodity traders and holding companies decades ago, and more recently the town has become the centre of the so-called Crypto Valley. The consequence for us is that Zug moves are corporate moves far more often than they are family moves — executives arriving on a company relocation package, frequently with a tight start date and a relocation agent managing the process.

Our Switzerland removals page covers the customs position in full, and it is worth reading before you book anything.
Zug itself is compact and easy to work in, with the lakeside apartment blocks generally well provided with lifts and loading access. The complications here are contractual rather than physical: corporate moves usually require an itemised valued inventory, a fixed delivery window written into the relocation package, and invoicing directly to an employer or relocation management company. We are set up for all three.

Where a piece needs protecting for a tight turn or a window entry, our custom crate service and export packing handle it.
Zug moves arrive through an employer more often than any other Swiss destination, and the permit is usually sponsored — which generally makes the clearance sequence cleaner, provided the registration is done promptly on arrival. The full Swiss customs position — Übersiedlungsgut relief, the six-month rule, Form 18.44 and the inventory requirements — is set out on our removals to Switzerland page, and it is worth reading before you book anything.
For a Zug delivery specifically, the thing to get right is sequence: your residence registration in canton Zug needs to exist before your goods arrive. If your permit and your moving date do not line up, our Lower Dicker storage can hold everything in the UK until Switzerland is ready — almost always cheaper than a container sitting in bond at the Swiss end.
Allow 10–14 days door to door. Zug is centrally placed with a short inland leg from the northern frontier. Because so many Zug moves carry a fixed corporate start date, this is the route where a dedicated vehicle most often earns its cost — it travels direct rather than waiting for a shared load to fill. The same window applies across our European removals service.
A sole-use load sits at the faster end because it travels direct with no transhipment. A shared part-load waits for a scheduled departure, which is the trade-off that keeps the cost down. Late July and August are the busiest weeks across the whole industry, and winter weather can affect a date in the higher cantons between roughly November and March — we build that contingency into the plan rather than promising a day we cannot hold.
We are a small, family-run Sussex firm, established in 2017, and international removals are a core part of the business rather than something bolted on. The crew who pad-wrap your furniture in the UK are our own, working to our white-glove method — each piece wrapped in your home and unwrapped only once it is standing in its room in Zug. We compile the itemised inventory that a Swiss entry depends on, and we do not hand your goods through a chain of subcontractors.
We are a member of the British Association of Removers Overseas Group, we work to the BS 8564 quality standard for international moves, and every consignment is fully insured.

Switzerland is priced by volume, at the same rate to every canton — a shared load runs from £145 per cubic metre with a 4 m³ minimum, and a dedicated vehicle, yours alone with no transhipment, starts at £4,250. Zug is the Swiss destination where the invoice most often goes somewhere other than the household, so we quote in the format the relocation provider requires.

| Your home | Typical volume | From |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or single room | 10 m³ | £1,450 |
| One-bedroom flat | 18 m³ | £2,610 |
| Two-bedroom house | 30 m³ | £4,350 |
| Three-bedroom house | 45 m³ | £6,525 |
| Four-bedroom house | 62 m³ | £8,990 |
| Five-bedroom house or larger | 85 m³ | £12,325 |
These are the prices you pay. International removals are zero-rated for UK VAT, so unlike a domestic house move there is nothing to add on top. Import duty or VAT levied by the destination country, where your goods do not qualify for transfer-of-residence relief, is separate and is payable there rather than to us.
What changes between Swiss destinations is the delivery leg rather than the rate — the access notes above are what shape a Zug quote. Volumes here are typical rather than measured; the survey sets the real figure and the price is then fixed in writing. Our free volume calculator gives you a cubic-feet number in a couple of minutes. For the supplementary tariff and what is included, see the Switzerland page or the full European rate card.
Zug, Lucerne and Zurich form a tight triangle around the lakes, and a corporate move often has a choice between them. The national rate is the same wherever the load goes in Switzerland — what changes is the access, the language at the door and the timing, and each page covers its own.

Our Swiss destination agent. We pack, load, inventory and export from the UK and run the road leg to the frontier; the agent clears customs and delivers to your address in canton Zug. That local knowledge matters here, because the delivery problem in Switzerland is almost never the distance.

The complications here are contractual rather than physical: corporate moves usually require an itemised valued inventory, a fixed delivery window written into the relocation package, and invoicing directly to an employer or relocation management company.

Normally not. Used household effects can usually be imported free of duty and Swiss VAT as Übersiedlungsgut when you are genuinely transferring residence, subject to the conditions on use before and after the move, your residence permit or registration, and a full itemised inventory. Vehicles, alcohol, tobacco, firearms and plants are handled separately from the standard relief. Zug moves are usually employer-sponsored, which tends to make the permit position clean — provided the arrival registration is done promptly.
Yes, from anywhere in the UK. Our vehicles run regular collection routes through London, Sussex, Norfolk, Wales, the Midlands and Scotland. Those are collection runs rather than premises — our only depot is at Lower Dicker in East Sussex, and that is where every European load is consolidated, checked and sealed before it travels.
Yes, and in Zug that is the usual arrangement. Corporate packages typically require an itemised valued inventory, a delivery window agreed in advance and invoicing directly to the employer or relocation management company. We produce the documents in the provider’s format rather than expecting them to adapt to ours.
Physically, no — it is among the easier Swiss destinations. The lakeside blocks generally have adequate lifts and loading access, and Baar and Cham are conventional. What needs planning in Zug is the contractual side and the fixed start date, not the stairs.
Tell us the date at the first call. Swiss clearance is the step that varies, and a fixed corporate start date usually means the goods need to arrive in a defined window rather than whenever the load fills — which often points to a dedicated vehicle rather than a shared load.
