Europe from a truck's point of view
For planning it helps to think of Europe in regions. Within each one, distance from Czechia, border crossings and road rules are broadly similar. The transit times below are indicative working days for a full load collected in the morning; pallet groupage usually needs one or two days more because the truck collects and delivers several consignments.
| Region | Main countries | Typical transit from/to Czechia |
|---|---|---|
| DACH | Germany, Austria, Switzerland | 1–2 working days |
| Benelux | Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg | 2–3 working days |
| South | Italy, Spain, Portugal, southern France | Italy 2–3, Spain 3–5, Portugal 4–6 |
| North | Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland | Denmark 2–3, Sweden and Norway 3–5 |
| East | Poland, Baltics, Hungary, Romania, Balkans | Poland 1–2, Baltics 2–4, Balkans 2–4 |
| United Kingdom | England, Scotland, Wales | 3–5 working days incl. customs |
What is specific to each region
DACH. The busiest area. Germany and Austria have strict weekend and holiday truck bans; Austria also has night restrictions and sectoral bans for certain goods through Tyrol. Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, so every shipment needs clearance. See transport to Germany.
Benelux. Ports and large distribution centres working with pre-booked time slots. Without a booking or reference, drivers can wait for hours. Many cities have low-emission zones.
South. Italy is reached across the Alps – Brenner, Tauern or through Switzerland – with winter closures and weekend restrictions. Spain and Portugal are reached via Germany and France; France, Italy and Spain each have their own Sunday and holiday bans, so dates have to fit all calendars.
North. Scandinavia is reached by ferry from German ports or over the bridges via Denmark. Ferries leave at fixed times, so a delay at loading can shift the whole transport by a day. Norway is outside the EU and requires customs clearance.
East. Poland is a close and flexible market. The Baltics are a longer run through Poland, the Balkans via Hungary or Austria. At external EU borders, such as Serbia, expect customs procedures and longer border waits.
United Kingdom. Outside the EU: every shipment needs export and import declarations and both parties need an EORI number. The Channel is crossed by ferry or the Channel Tunnel.
Where the rules change
- Ferries – Scandinavia, UK, Ireland; fixed departures and bookings.
- Customs – UK, Switzerland, Norway and non-EU Western Balkans; we prepare documents with you in advance.
- Driving bans – weekends, holidays and summer periods, with different times in each country.
- Alpine crossings – winter closures, truck metering and sectoral bans.
- Tolls – a different system in every country, with extra charges for some tunnels and bridges.
Imports into Czechia by region
From DACH we mainly import machine and automotive parts, chemicals, electrical and consumer goods. From Benelux, overseas container cargo, food, flowers and plastics. The south supplies tiles, furniture, textiles, wine, fruit and vegetables – fresh food with temperature control. The north sends paper, timber, metal products and fish; the east furniture, food, building materials and metal parts; the UK machinery, spare parts and specialist goods, always with clearance.
