Intra-Community Transport — Freight Between EU Member States

We organise road freight carried out entirely within the European Union, between two EU member states — for example Germany → France or Belgium → Germany. We combine our own Volvo Euro 6 fleet with a network of over 500 verified partners to find the right capacity on intra-community routes.

What is intra-community transport?

Intra-community transport is the road transport of goods carried out entirely within the European Union, between two EU member states, without the goods leaving the territory of the Union. For example, a shipment from Germany to France or from Belgium to Germany is intra-community transport.

Key point: it is a transport operation between EU member states. It does not necessarily involve Romania as origin or destination, and it is not about tax or customs matters — it is centred on the actual movement of goods by road, within the EU.

Typical use cases

Examples of intra-community routes (illustrative examples, not an exhaustive list):

Germany → France
Germany → Italy
Belgium → Germany
Netherlands → Germany
Italy → Germany
France → Germany

  • Route analysis — we assess the route between the two EU member states, the type of goods and any specific requirements.
  • Carrier allocation — we identify the right capacity from our own fleet or the network of verified partners.
  • Execution — we coordinate loading and the movement of the goods along the intra-community route.
  • Delivery monitoring — we track the transport and communicate along the way, up to delivery.

Does intra-community transport involve Romania?
Not necessarily. Intra-community transport takes place between any two EU member states — for example Germany to France or the Netherlands to Germany — without Romania having to be the origin or destination. We organise such transport between EU member states.
Can goods move between two EU countries?
Yes. Intra-community transport is precisely the movement of goods by road between two member states of the European Union, within the EU.
Is customs clearance required for intra-community transport?
At a general level, goods moving between EU member states, within the Union, do not go through the customs formalities specific to the EU's external borders. For specific situations we recommend contacting us; we do not provide customs, tax or legal advice.

Yes. We organise intra-community transport under controlled temperature (refrigerated), in the temperature conditions specific to the goods.
Can partial loads (groupage) be organised?
Yes. We also organise intra-community transport for partial loads, as groupage (LTL), where you pay only for the space used.
Can express transport be arranged?
Yes. We organise intra-community express transport for urgent goods, with solutions matched to the urgency and dispatch available 24/7.

Pricing depends on the route, the type of goods, the transport type (full load or groupage) and capacity availability. Contact us for a quote matched to your transport.
