Transit times for transport to Scotland

From Killingholme to the Scottish border is approximately 200 miles (300 km), and to Aberdeen, for example, it is 400 miles (650 km). Normally, we maintain a 3-day transit time between loading and unloading (loading Monday = unloading Thursday). This results in an average lead time of 4 days. For groupage part-loads, this may occasionally take an extra day. Because our trailers travel back and forth daily, we can load and unload every day of the week.

Types of Export to Scotland

EASY Road Transport can assist you with various types of shipments destined for Scotland. This includes full truckloads (FTL), part-loads (LTL or Groupage), or express shipments.

Regulations for transport to Scotland

If you plan to transport goods to Scotland, it is important to take the applicable regulations into account. Scotland has its own regulatory bodies for transport, including Transport Scotland and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

For the transport of goods to Scotland, you must comply with various rules and regulations, depending on the nature of the goods and the type of transport used. This may include permits and certification, customs regulations, and environmental standards.

Of course, you don’t have to keep track of all that yourself! Our EASY Roaders are up to date with the latest rules and regulations. For any new shipment, they will always provide you with the best possible advice.

Customs broker

In addition to being a specialist in transport to Scotland, we also assist you as a customs broker. Since Brexit, there has been a hard border between England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Europe. All goods coming from or going to the United Kingdom must therefore pass through customs. In addition to transport, we handle all necessary documents for both export and import for our clients. We utilize two highly reliable partners in England and the Netherlands for this purpose. We can transport under various Incoterms (Ex Works, DDP, DAP, etc.), provided this is clearly agreed upon in advance.

The most important thing to arrange for transporting goods to Scotland is the correct documentation. Consider the C88 document, GMR transport document, MRN number, UCR document, or CMR waybill. Additionally, you should find a suitable carrier to help your goods cross the border, for example, with a tautliner. Please pay close attention to the Brexit rules, as these were tightened on January 1, 2022.
