Shipping to Linz and Upper Austria
Linz, the capital of Upper Austria on the Danube, is an industrial city with large steel, chemical and technology companies. Ocean cargo reaches Linz by rail from a North Sea or Adriatic port, or by barge on the Danube.
Practical tips. Choose Linz for consignees in Upper Austria, Salzburg and southern Bohemia; Salzburg is about an hour and a half away by motorway. Commercial shipments for the region's steel and engineering firms are common. Household goods are cleared under the EU transfer-of-residence relief with an inventory and the Meldezettel registration.
Linz's port is one of the largest on the Austrian Danube and well equipped for containers, so clearance and collection are usually quick.
The city is also known for its Ars Electronica centre and music festivals.
