Transport and Warehousing
Road transport and storage for goods moving between the UK and Europe, with the customs handled by the same team
GEIM arranges the road transport and the storage that sits around it when goods are moving between the UK and Europe: holding stock before export, receiving it after import, and consolidating loads for onward delivery. The customs paperwork is prepared alongside, so goods are not held up waiting for a declaration.

Transport and Warehousing Without the Hand-Offs
Goods moving between the UK and the EU often need to stop somewhere on the way: waiting for a declaration, waiting for a vehicle, being consolidated with other consignments, or being held until the buyer is ready to receive them. When the transport, the storage and the customs are three separate suppliers, each one waits for the others.
GEIM coordinates all three. We arrange the road transport, organise storage where your goods need it, and prepare the customs declarations so that the goods leave the warehouse with the paperwork already done.
Tell us what you are moving and how long it needs to be held, and we will set out the options and the cost before anything is booked.
What We Arrange
Each job is different, so we build the service around the movement rather than selling a fixed package.
Road transport UK to Europe
Full loads, part loads, groupage and express vans between the UK and mainland Europe, with the customs included.
Road freight routes
Dover–Calais, Folkestone–Eurotunnel, Harwich–Hook of Holland and the Irish Sea, with the paperwork for each crossing.
Storage before export
Goods held until the declaration is ready and the vehicle is booked, so the lorry leaves once and leaves cleared.
Storage after import
Goods received, held and released for delivery once duty and VAT are dealt with.
Consolidation and onward delivery
Smaller consignments brought together and sent on as one movement, or split for delivery to several addresses.
Export customs clearance
The GB export declaration, transit and GMR prepared before goods leave.
Import customs clearance
The UK import entry, duty and VAT filed so goods can be released on arrival.
How It Works
The same process whether you need a few days of storage or regular contracted movements.
