Household Goods Moving to Hungary
To qualify for duty-free shipping of household goods and personal effects to Hungary, you must hold a valid Hungarian residence permit. Additionally, your belongings should have been in your possession for at least six months prior to shipping. It’s essential to submit all required paperwork in Hungarian and to provide these documents to customs at least one day before clearance.
We recommend translating and notarizing your documentation in the United States through the Hungarian embassy. This step can greatly streamline your relocation process and ensure that your shipment meets all customs requirements.
At SDC International Shipping, we assist our clients with preparing and organizing the necessary documents for export and import. Rely on us to keep you updated on customs regulations to ensure a smooth moving experience.

Flexible Storage Solutions for Your Move to Hungary
International moves can take several weeks, especially when shipping by ocean freight. Hungary’s landlocked location means that your belongings will arrive at a port in a neighboring country and may require storage before reaching your new home.
When your shipment arrives, our logistics team can arrange warehouse storage as needed. This allows for safe and secure holding until transport by road or rail to your final destination in Hungary is ready.
As a top international moving company, SDC International Shipping offers flexible and affordable storage solutions tailored to meet your specific needs.
