Send Groupage To Montenegro
With our reliable local partners in the Balkans, we ship and deliver cargo from the UK to all areas of Montenegro – we even carry those exports to and from Montenegro which other cheap courier services may have declined!
Groupage to Montenegro is the mainstay of our business, and our economy groupage services are both fast and affordable; as a leading independent freight forwarder to Montenegro, we work with several European couriers to ensure your consignment leaves on the first available truck or trailer! Unlike some cheap delivery companies, you will not be waiting for days whilst they try to fill their next vehicle; we have frequent departures for Balkan freight!
Whether your groupage to Montenegro consists of a few euros or UK standard export pallets, boxes or cartons or business-to-business packages, packing cases, or another haulage to Montenegro – we are happy to transport it. We can handle awkward shapes and sizes, or difficult loads, though obviously 120×100 or 120×80 pallets attract some of the best discounts (especially if stackable).
Do not worry about the formalities of exporting to Montenegro; although commercial invoices are needed for customs procedures (since the country is not yet an EU member), our knowledgeable and friendly advisors will offer any help you may need with paperwork.

Customer Reviews
Shipping to Montenegro from the UK
Meanwhile, our local partner presence in the Balkans will help clear your Montenegrin freight through customs in record time, making your whole process of shipping cargo from the UK to Montenegro like a walk in the park!
The mountains of Montenegro include some of the most rugged terrains in Europe, averaging more than 2km in elevation, and contributing to the indigenous country name of Crna Gora (meaning “Black Mountain”). They have no European-style motorways; despite their main roads being designated “M”, almost all are single carriageways, sometimes with a third “shared” overtaking lane (especially on steep gradients). These roads include M2, M18, M21 and M2.4 – best known for their association with international E-Routes. All of this makes for difficult local distribution logistics, so knowledgeable local partner depots are very important – and we have them!
Although groupage to Montenegro is one of our most popular offerings (due to cheap international shipping costs for consolidated/grouped cargo from the UK to Montenegro or return), we provide all sorts of competitive haulage to “Crna Gora”. Cheap pallet delivery is our speciality, whether 120×100 or 120×80 centimetre base pallets; we frequently carry part loads and full loads of printer pallets, plastic pallets, wooden pallets, cages, skids and stillages, and crates too. Manufactured goods, raw materials and agricultural produce are the primary export commodities coming from Montenegro, and we are major freight forwarders from Montenegro to the UK for many of these goods.
Montenegrin IMPORT CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS
Customs, VAT, and Documentation for Montenegro
VAT, Restrictions, and EORI Number
When shipping from the UK to Montenegro, accurate documentation is essential. As Montenegro is outside the EU, UK businesses must provide a valid EORI number (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) before goods can leave the country. Our team works with trusted customs partners to make sure all declarations are completed correctly, avoiding delays at European borders.
VAT is not charged on exports from the UK, but local duties and taxes may apply on arrival in Montenegro depending on the type of goods and their value. The standard VAT rate in Montenegro is 21 percent, so this should be considered when planning the total cost of delivery. We guide you through the necessary paperwork and help you understand any import restrictions so your shipment complies with both UK and Montenegrin regulations.
With clear communication, careful route management, and full customs support, we make road freight to Montenegro straightforward and reliable for UK businesses of all sizes.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Montenegro |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 21% |
| Reduced rate goods and services (e.g., books) | 15% |
| Super Reduced rate goods and services (e.g., medicines, medical devices) | 7% |
| The Zero-rate (e.g.,export of goods) | 0% |
ROUTES FROM THE UK TO MONTENEGRO
Road freight to Montenegro generally begins with collection anywhere in the UK before heading to a southern UK port such as Dover or Portsmouth. Vehicles then cross the Channel and continue overland through mainland Europe, typically travelling via France, Belgium, Germany, and Austria before reaching the Balkans through either Croatia or Serbia.
From there, the final leg takes your shipment into Montenegro’s key commercial centres, including Podgorica, the capital and main economic hub, Nikšić, known for manufacturing, and the coastal cities of Bar and Herceg Novi for businesses tied to maritime trade. From the capital city of Podgorica, we also deliver to the towns of Pljevlja, Bijelo Polje, Cetinje, Berane, Budva, Ulcinj, Rozaje, Danilovgrad, Tivat, Dobrota, Kotor, Mojkovac, Skaljari, Tuzi, Igalo, Bijela, Plav, and many others.
Our route planning balances speed with reliability, selecting the best road networks and border crossings to minimise hold-ups while keeping costs competitive.
COST-EFFECTIVE FREIGHT TO MONTENEGRO BY ROAD
Montenegrin imports include fuels and lubricants, machinery and transport, and manufactured goods. Most of these arrive by road freight, where our economy groupage services and low-cost delivery options (including express services) remain especially popular with businesses.
For urgent and high-value cargo, we provide dedicated express courier vans that travel directly door-to-door across Europe. This service is ideal for fragile, secure, or time-sensitive consignments moving between the UK and Montenegro. In many cases, our vans offer the fastest transit times available, even for remote locations. With simple logistics, competitive pricing, and direct routing, these road freight vans are a reliable alternative to the costly and complex process of arranging air freight.
SHIPPING TO MONTENEGRO FROM THE UK
Shipping goods from the UK to Montenegro calls for a dependable road freight service that can manage customs requirements, border crossings, and a multi-country route with ease. Our experienced team handles every stage, from collection to delivery, so you can focus on running your business while we keep your supply chain moving.
Whether you require additional insurance for your exports to Montenegro to cover any eventualities while they are in transit or simply want a BIFA-accredited freight forwarding firm that you can rely on, Barrington Freight is at your disposal for all sorts of commercial shipments to the Balkans. We have a great deal of experience in shipping to Montenegro by road from the UK. Whether you have several lorries’ worth of goods to ship to the country or just one or two pallets, we will ensure that your customers’ orders arrive in excellent condition. Whether you’ve chosen a low-cost groupage rate or an express courier service, we will keep you updated and give you the information you need to keep your Montenegrin customers informed about progress.
Because Montenegro is not an EU member, goods will have to comply with local customs checks at the border. However, shipping by road will necessarily mean passing through EU countries like France, Belgium, Italy and Slovenia. If you don’t have the in-house skills to handle customs paperwork to ensure your goods aren’t held up as they enter and subsequently leave the EU, then ask us to help: customs clearance agents will work alongside freight forwarders to ensure there are no unnecessary delays.
