Which parts of Europe do you cover?

Across the EU and Scandinavia, through long-established agent partners on the ground. Tell us the destination, including any route we do not list, and we will plan it.

What is the difference between Regime 40 and Regime 42?

Regime 40 is a standard import into free circulation. Regime 42 is for VAT-exempt intra-community deliveries, which can help manage VAT when goods move on to another EU member state. Our customs team confirms which applies to your movement.

Do you handle post-Brexit customs both ways?

Yes. UK export and EU import entries, plus T1 transit where it is needed, are prepared with the load so the trailer is not held at the border waiting for paperwork.

Can you move a single pallet, or only full trailers?

Both. Groupage takes a single pallet upwards, part loads sit between groupage and a full trailer, and full loads give you a dedicated trailer to your own schedule.

Do you carry ADR / hazardous goods?

Yes, most classes, subject to compatibility with the consolidated trailer. Speak to the European desk before booking so we can plan the load correctly.

What you can book

The right service for every European load

Whatever the size of the consignment, one planner matches it to the right service and keeps the same file from collection to delivery.

Groupage

Ideal for smaller consignments, consolidated with other freight to keep costs down with frequent departures.

Part loads

Larger than groupage but not a full trailer, matched with compatible loads to keep transit times tight.

Full loads

Dedicated trailers with direct delivery for maximum control and speed, through long-established partners.

Express

Time-critical loads moved fast across Europe, without compromising safety or compliance.

Temperature-controlled

Ambient, chilled and frozen options on dedicated full loads, for pharmaceuticals, food and other temperature-sensitive goods.

Hazardous goods (ADR)

ADR groupage and full loads arranged on request, subject to compatibility with the trailer.

Smart border clearances

Customs prepared with the load

Post-Brexit EU customs is complex. Our in-house team prepares the entries with the load so the trailer is not parked at the border, and confirms the right procedure for your movement.

Regime 40 standard import clearances
Regime 42 VAT-exempt intra-community deliveries
