Dedicated van for freight to Switzerland.

On Friday we loaded a dedicated van with two pallets for express delivery to Switzerland.

We collected the cargo from Royston Hertfordshire on Friday lunchtime and our van arrived in Switzerland this morning to await customs clearance after the Whitsun holiday.

We have worked with our agents in Switzerland since the 1990's and have seen our groupage service grow to the current levels that provide us with daily departures from depots across Britain to Switzerland.

With clearance agents in Basle and Geneva, we can clear cargo and deliver shipments quickly and efficiently throughout the country. Whether you have a groupage shipment to Zurich, a pallet to Bern or a full load to St Gallen, we have the expertise to make your Swiss shipping go like clockwork.

We aren't just a one trip pony though, all our trucks are sent on a "round trip" basis so we also have daily import services for collection from Switzerland to the UK.

As Switzerland is not a member of the EU, we do require commercial invoices with declarations and EUR1 forms for some shipments. But don't worry, we are happy to provide all the advice that you will need.

If you have a shipment that you need to transport to Switzerland, please call us today for a quote -  Call +Matt Everard  - TODAY!

Over fifty years experience in freight to Europe

To say that our European haulage staff are experienced would be an under statement. Not many people who are involved in European Freight forwarding today can remember the telex machine, T2 forms for all European transport and closed borders.

Today of course, freight to Europe is a much simpler affair. Groupage shipments, full loads and express deliveries all pass between most European countries without any customs procedures or hassle. There are of course a few non EU member countries that require some documentation even today but it is much less formal than in the 1980's and 1990's.

With experience comes knowledge and there isn't much that we haven't seen before. So whether you need a military tank delivered to Sweden, a red telephone box shipped to Germany, a same day delivery to Northern France, a flat bed trailer to Belgium, a tail lift trailer to Holland or anything else, we can help. Our "can do" attitude and friendly approach makes us the freight forwarder choice of many blue chip and household name clients.

If you have freight to move to Europe on and export or import basis, contact us today. Call +Matt Everard on 01268 525444.

Are invoices required to send freight to Guernsey?

As experts in freight to Guernsey, we are often asked if exporters are required to provide commercial invoices for shipments to Guernsey.

Guernsey is not part of the UK, it has a separate parliament and is what's known as a British Crown Dependancy.  Guernsey is also not a member of the EU.

In answer to the question, invoices will be required for export to Guernsey if the goods are not in free circulation of the EU.

Generally for shipments that ARE in free circulation (i.e. haven't come from outside the EU) do not require commercial invoices.

If you have any other questions about the formalities for transport to Guernsey please don't hesitate to contact us. Call +Matt Everard  today.

Barrington Freight can help you with next day, 2-3 day, groupage, part loads and full loads to Guernsey. We  have total GB coverage for Guernsey Freight. Call us for a quote.
