How Does Customs Work Within the EU? is one of the key topics in road freight and logistics. This article provides practical information, real procedures and recommendations from our daily dispatch experience organising European transport.
Practical tips for shipping
For every shipment a few principles pay off — proper packaging matching the goods, clear marking of fragile pieces, a correctly completed CMR note and agreed terms under Incoterms 2020. Before loading, always confirm the goods are ready on pallets and that handling equipment is available.

We work with a network of verified contracted hauliers across the EU. We specialise in routes from Czech Republic and Slovakia to Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Italy, France, Benelux and Scandinavia. Every route uses ADR-certified hauliers with international insurance and modern EURO 6 trucks.

Practical advice from our dispatch desk
From everyday experience organising European road transport, several principles consistently pay off. Before each pickup we confirm the goods are ready on pallets, that handling equipment is available and that warehouse opening hours match the driver schedule. For international shipments we always verify CMR insurance validity and the customs documents required at borders.
For manufacturing clients we recommend framework agreements that enable faster handling and stable pricing. During seasonal peaks (pre-Christmas period, summer season) it is wise to reserve capacity 2–3 weeks in advance.
European coverage and equipment
We work with a network of verified contracted carriers with full vehicle range — curtain trailers (standard 92–96 m³), isothermal boxes, refrigerated Frigo, mega trailer 100 m³, jumbo plus with lowered floor and specialised oversized combinations. For ADR transport we hold vehicles with FL, OX and AT certification according to the required hazard class.
Regular routes connect Czech Republic and Slovakia with Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Italy, France, Benelux, the Baltics and Scandinavia. For further destinations (Spain, Portugal, Greece, Romania) we work with proven hauliers running weekly round trips.
