Who we serve — German clients in Denmark

Every type of German client.
Same professional standard.

German companies and professionals come to Denmark for trade, exhibitions, relocation and business operations. Each scenario has specific logistics needs — and we cover all of them.

Road freight between
Germany and Denmark.
The shortest EU corridor.

Denmark and Germany share a land border at Padborg/Flensburg — the only land border Denmark has. The Hamburg to Copenhagen route at 360 km is among the shortest major international freight corridors in Europe. No customs clearance is required — both countries are EU members. CMR road documentation is included in every shipment.

Germany exports $27 billion in goods to Denmark annually across machinery, electronics, vehicles and chemicals. Denmark exports nearly $20 billion to Germany. This trade flows constantly — and every shipment needs professional ground logistics at both ends. GIA Service ApS handles the Danish end for German shippers, and the full route for companies needing door-to-door between Denmark and Germany.

German design and
industry brands in Denmark.
3 Days of Design & beyond.

German design, furniture, industrial and technology brands exhibit at Copenhagen's major events — 3 Days of Design, CIFF and industry fairs across Denmark. German brands including furniture manufacturers, architectural product companies and industrial designers have a consistent presence at Copenhagen's design calendar.

Post-exhibition logistics are the same challenge for German brands as for Italian and Japanese ones — collection after the fair closes, short-term storage, delivery to a Copenhagen showroom or freight back to Germany. We handle all three. The Hamburg–Copenhagen road makes the return freight faster than any other European exhibitor faces.

Moving between Germany
and Denmark.
No customs. One truck.

Germans are one of the most represented nationalities in Copenhagen — concentrated in Frederiksberg, Østerbro and along the Øresund corridor. The move from Hamburg or Berlin to Copenhagen is one of the most straightforward international moves in Europe — EU free movement means no customs declarations and no import duties on household goods.

GIA Service ApS provides the Danish side of Germany-to-Denmark moves — we also run the full route for customers who want door-to-door service from their German address to their Copenhagen apartment. Floor carry, furniture protection, end-of-tenancy cleaning in Denmark, IKEA furniture assembly after move-in — all available as a combined service.

One important fact for German arrivals: Danish apartments are unfurnished differently to German ones. There are no ceiling lights, no kitchen appliances and often no stove included in the rental. Budget for this before arrival — we help set up apartments from scratch on the same day as delivery.

German expats and
private clients in Denmark.
Welcome to the neighbour country.

Germans are among the most represented expats in Copenhagen, particularly in Frederiksberg where a significant German-speaking community has established itself. Many come for roles at Novo Nordisk, Maersk, Vestas, Ørsted and the broader Danish corporate sector. The proximity of Germany makes Denmark an appealing Nordic base — Hamburg is reachable in 3.5 hours by train, Berlin under 5.

German professionals and their families need the same things every expat needs on arrival — luggage moved in, an apartment set up from scratch, and eventually a seamless departure. We provide the full lifecycle: arrival logistics, apartment setup, furniture assembly, cleaning, and when the time comes, return freight to Germany.

FAQ — German clients in Denmark

Häufige Fragen.
Direkte Antworten.

Is customs clearance required for freight between Germany and Denmark?
No. Both Germany and Denmark are EU members. Goods — personal effects, commercial freight, exhibition pieces — move freely with no customs declarations and no import duties. CMR road documentation is required and included in every shipment we handle.
How long does Hamburg to Copenhagen LTL freight take?
1–2 working days for LTL shared load from Hamburg to Copenhagen. FTL dedicated trucks can achieve next-day delivery from Hamburg if booked before 14:00 the previous day. Berlin adds approximately one extra day on LTL.
What is different about Danish apartments compared to German ones?
Danish rentals almost never include a fitted kitchen (Einbauküche). There are no ceiling light fixtures, no white goods and sometimes no stove. German arrivals are frequently surprised by this. We help set up apartments from scratch on the same day as delivery — IKEA delivery and assembly combined service available.
What is servicefradrag and can German expats claim it?
Servicefradrag is a 27% Danish tax deduction on labour costs for home cleaning and assembly. Once you are registered in Denmark with a CPR number and paying Danish income tax, you are eligible to claim this through SKAT. We issue receipts correctly formatted for the deduction on request.
Can you handle post-show logistics after 3 Days of Design for German brands?
Yes. Evening collection from any Copenhagen venue on the closing day, short-term storage, and return freight to Hamburg or any German city within 1–2 working days. The Hamburg–Copenhagen route makes this the fastest post-show return of any non-Scandinavian exhibitor at Copenhagen design events.
Do you operate in Jutland — Aarhus, Herning, Kolding?
Yes. We cover all of Denmark. German companies with Danish distributors, trade partners or exhibition presence in Jutland — including MCH Herning — are covered. A travel surcharge applies for destinations more than 50 km from our Albertslund base, always confirmed in the quote before departure.
