Why Export to Slovenia?
British businesses exporting goods to Slovenia can enjoy several of the country’s upsides:

Our Road Freight Options When Exporting To Slovenia
We offer two main road freight options for exporting goods to Slovenia:
- Standard Road Freight: This includes both groupage and full-load services. Groupage is a cost-effective solution. Full-load services provide dedicated transportation, ensuring direct and secure delivery of larger shipments across Slovenia.
- Express Road Freight: For time-sensitive deliveries, our express service offers rapid, door-to-door transport. This is perfect for smaller, urgent consignments that need to reach their Slovenian destination as quickly as possible.
Trading With Slovenian Customers From Outside the EU
EORIs are needed for both the UK and EU – see our blog, What is an EORI Number, for more information on what to do if your firm is new to exporting goods to Slovenia. Freight sent post-Brexit means paperwork responsibilities, so always take advice from a professional customs agent to ensure compliance. Note that our operations team can handle your road freight shipment to Slovenia as well as customs clearance work, if wanted.
