Despite its geographical proximity, Andorra is considered a third country for customs purposes; therefore, shipments require an Export <dua>SAD</dua> in Spain. These are not treated as intra-community shipments and must be managed as a formal export.

Customs Requirements in Andorra

Shipments to Switzerland and Norway require the issuance of an <eur1>EUR.1 certificate</eur1>, as both countries are members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and maintain preferential trade agreements with the EU. This document enables the recipient to benefit from zero or reduced customs duties, provided the EU origin of the goods is officially verified.

Customs Requirements in Switzerland

Following Brexit, shipments to the UK are treated as full exports outside the European Union. Consequently, a <dua>SAD</dua> (Single Administrative Document) and a valid UK EORI number are mandatory. These formalities are required for customs clearance at both the point of exit and entry. Furthermore, for shipments valued over £1,000, stricter customs controls and requirements apply, resulting in more rigorous documentary reviews and potential additional procedures.

Customs Requirements in United Kingdom

Monaco is an exception, as it is part of the EU Customs Territory through France. In practice, freight transport is usually treated as an intra-community shipment, meaning a <dua>SAD</dua> is generally not required except in specific cases.

Customs Requirements in Norway

Serbia maintains preferential trade agreements with the European Union, making it highly advisable to include an <eur1>EUR.1 certificate</eur1> with the shipment. Without this document, the recipient will be liable for high customs duties, losing the financial benefits provided by the agreement.

Customs Requirements in Serbia

For shipments to Turkey, an A.TR certificate is required due to the specific Customs Union agreement with the EU regarding industrial products. This document is essential for goods to circulate duty-free, provided they meet the conditions established within the framework of said agreement.

Just like the dedicated van, the Dedicated Box Truck is the definitive solution when time is the most critical factor but at the same time, the goods have a larger volume than that of a van. In a box truck, a larger volume of goods can be loaded, making it the ideal vehicle for tall pallets for example.

The box truck transports exclusively your goods from the point of origin directly to their destination in {country}, without intermediate stops or sharing the vehicle with other loads. This ensures a direct shipment, minimizing delivery times and offering total control over your urgent cargo.

Dedicated Box Truck to {country}: Exclusivity, Absolute Speed and Greater Cargo Volume

This urgent transport modality is the definitive solution when time is the most critical factor. A dedicated van or industrial taxi transports exclusively your goods from the point of origin (whether Spain, Portugal or a third country) directly to their destination in {country}, without intermediate stops or sharing the vehicle with other loads.

This ensures a direct shipment, minimizing delivery times and offering total control over your urgent cargo. It is ideal for samples, prototypes, spare parts or any goods whose arrival in {country} is crucial to maintain Just-in-Time production or avoid operational stoppages or unnecessary setbacks that one cannot afford.

You will receive clear delivery times for your express shipment to {country}, allowing you to plan with precision.
