Answers to the most common questions.
Do you ship to the Benelux every day?
Yes, we have daily road departures from Brescia to Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, both groupage and full loads.
Is customs needed to ship to Belgium or the Netherlands?
No, they are European Union countries. You need commercial documents, the CMR consignment note and, for business-to-business sales, Intrastat returns.
Can you load goods from Rotterdam or Antwerp?
Yes, when the whole route makes it worthwhile. We compare Italian and northern ports based on destination, goods and line availability.

What do you need to know to ship to the Benelux?
Three countries, one logistics area
The Benelux is one of Europe's densest areas for industry, trade and distribution. Internal distances are short, so a shipment for Antwerp, Rotterdam or Luxembourg travels along the same route. For those selling to distributors and logistics centres, punctuality at the unloading slot and pallet labelling to the consignee's instructions are what count.
No customs, but documents in order
They are all Union countries: no customs declaration is needed. What remains is the CMR consignment note signed on delivery, which proves arrival of the goods and supports the VAT-free invoice, and the Intrastat returns, which we prepare from your invoices.
The northern ports as a gateway to the world
Antwerp and Rotterdam are among Europe's largest ports. Some companies use them to ship to other continents or to receive goods arriving from Asia and the Americas. We assess case by case whether an Italian or a northern port is better, comparing the whole route and not just the sea freight.
Dangerous goods and chemicals
The Benelux hosts major chemical clusters, and many shipments involve products subject to ADR. We carry them with qualified vehicles and drivers, after checking the safety data sheet, packaging and labels.
