Road freight to the Netherlands from the UK: pallets, part and full loads

The Netherlands is the UK's gateway to the Continent: the Rotterdam and Venlo logistics hubs, Dutch distributors and European fulfilment centres. We run road freight between Great Britain and the Netherlands — pallets, part loads and full trucks — with customs handled on both sides, and the same lane in reverse for Dutch shippers delivering to England.

Sending a pallet to the Netherlands

• From one pallet. Standard UK (120×100 cm), Euro (120×80 cm) and oversize pallets; up to about 1,200 kg per pallet, heavier or non-stackable freight as a part load.
• Business to business. Collection anywhere in Great Britain — tail-lift where there is no forklift — and delivery to the consignee's door, a distribution centre slot or a retailer's booking system.
• What you send us: the commercial invoice and packing list, both EORI numbers and the commodity codes. We prepare the CMR and the customs declarations; duties and VAT are settled DAP or DDP as you choose.
• Part loads and full trucks on the same lane: from a few pallets to 33 Euro pallets / 13.6 m, curtainsider, reefer or ADR.

Full and part loads to the Netherlands

A part load is a dedicated section of the trailer with no transhipment — typically 10–20 pallets, or goods that must not be handled twice. A full load is the whole 13.6 m trailer, 26 UK standard or 33 Euro pallets, loaded and delivered without stops. Full loads move as booked, and a dedicated van or truck delivers within 24 hours via Dover–Calais or Eurotunnel. Road freight from the Netherlands to England works the same way in reverse, with the export and import declarations and the GMR handled for you.

Customs and documents

Every movement between Great Britain and the EU is an export and an import. We prepare or coordinate the UK export declaration, the EU import declaration or a T1 transit document, the GMR for the Goods Vehicle Movement Service at Dover and Eurotunnel, and the safety and security declarations. You provide the commercial invoice, the packing list and the EORI numbers of both parties; goods of animal or plant origin also need the health or phytosanitary certificate and a border control post on the route.
