From the UK to North Macedonia: Affordable Cargo Transport
Officially the “Republic of North Macedonia”, also known as FYROM or the Former Yugoslav Republic of North Macedonia, we must be careful to distinguish the current country from the much larger region of the same name – or your freight to North Macedonia could end up in Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, Kosovo, or Serbia! There are never such mistakes with professional freight forwarders to the Republic such as Barrington Freight, but beware of inexperienced, cheap delivery companies who don’t know the country!
Our local partner depots know the country like the back of their hand, and ensure the speedy and safe delivery of your exports to and from “Republika Makedonija”. We deliver groupage to North Macedonia within 10-12 days; our trucks and trailers of consolidated freight offer cheap international shipping costs with the level of service expected from leading freight forwarders to the Balkans.
Full load haulage to North Macedonia is of course quicker, and very economical. Palletised loads are always welcome, and standard euro/UK export pallets can be accommodated very cheaply – especially if stackable. We ship plastic pallets, wooden pallets, printer pallets, 120×100 or 120×80 centimetre base pallets, shrink and stretch wrapped pallets, cages and skids and stillages, cartons and packing cases, in fact, almost any business-to-business road freight to North Macedonia!

When shipping from North Macedonia to the UK, it’s important to understand VAT requirements. In North Macedonia, VAT is referred to as “ДДВ” (Danok na dodadena vrednost). Businesses registered for VAT may be able to apply a zero rate on goods they export to the UK, but this is not guaranteed, so professional advice is recommended.
North Macedonia’s VAT framework is aligned with many EU practices despite the country not being an EU member, but there can be specific differences depending on the type of goods being transported. The standard VAT rate in North Macedonia is 18%.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate North Macedonia |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 18% |
| Reduced rate goods and services (e.g., computers) | 5% |
| Intra-community and international transport | 0% |

Having only 2 million inhabitants living in a country of 10,000 sq. miles in area (of which approximately a quarter are ethnically Albanians) the FYROM is relatively sparsely populated. The languages spoken are split in similar proportions between North Macedonian and Albanian. Geographically, a clearly defined central valley (with the Vardar River) is bordered to the northeast and southwest by sets of mountain ranges, with Mount Korab being the tallest at 9,068 feet. But do not worry, we will take good care of your fragile/secure or time-sensitive cargo from the UK to North Macedonia or back.
The logistics of North Macedonian road freight benefit from 7 main road corridors across the country, namely the A1-A7 “avtopat” – a good length of which are already to motorway standard. The A1 was the first, and runs North-South from the Tabanovce border crossing with Serbia, passing Kumanovo (A2 junction), Petrovec (Skopje Airport, A3 junction), Veles, Gradsko (A5 junction), Negotino (A7 junction), and on to the main border crossing with Greece near Gevgelija.
Exports from North Macedonia include textiles, iron, steel, wine and vegetables; imports include fuel, machinery and manufactured goods, and vehicles.
