Andorra lies in the heart of the Pyrenees between France and Spain – and is not an EU member. Anyone delivering goods to the principality therefore needs, despite the manageable distance of around 1,850 kilometres from Berlin, a freight forwarder that masters both customs documents and mountain roads in equal measure. Speed Logistics runs the Germany–Andorra route as a dedicated direct run via France with a transit time of 2–3 business days – including full customs clearance from EXW to DDP.
You receive your fixed-price quote within a few hours, and a dedicated contact in our dispatch team accompanies the shipment around the clock through to delivery in Andorra la Vella or any other address in the country.

Process: from enquiry to delivery in Andorra
You send us the key details of your shipment – collection point, weight, dimensions, goods value and preferred date. Within a few hours your no-obligation fixed-price quote is ready. After you place the order we collect the goods, prepare the export declaration and run the main leg via France into the Pyrenees. At the Andorran border our customs partner handles the import clearance, after which we deliver on schedule – with proof of receipt and status updates during transport.
Customs clearance for Andorra: what you need to know
Andorra is a non-EU country, but for industrial goods it maintains a customs union with the EU – for these goods no duties are usually charged, but full customs formalities still apply. Agricultural and food products are excluded from the customs union and are cleared separately. For every shipment we need a commercial invoice and packing list; we prepare the export declaration and transit papers (T1/T2) and coordinate presentation at the border crossing. For trade-fair and event material that only goes to Andorra temporarily, we arrange handling via ATA Carnet – so you avoid import charges when the goods return.
Typical shipments and industries in Andorra
Andorra's economy is shaped by trade and tourism – the shipments we run into the principality are correspondingly varied. Typical are merchandise for the shopping streets of Andorra la Vella, shop-fitting and interior projects for hotels and boutiques, sports and ski equipment for the winter season, as well as machinery and spare parts for cable cars and ski resorts. Added to this are urgent resupply deliveries for workshops and building services that have to arrive on time. Before the season opens in late autumn, shipment volumes rise noticeably – anyone needing fixed delivery dates is best advised to book transports to Andorra with a little lead time. During the season we arrange Sprinter direct runs from Germany at short notice, on site including customs clearance in around two days.
Route and characteristics of the Pyrenees relation
The main leg runs via France; entry is usually via the Pas de la Casa border crossing with the Envalira pass – the highest road pass in the Pyrenees. In winter we factor in snow-chain requirements and possible pass closures and, if necessary, divert to the Spanish side via La Farga de Moles. Narrow town passages and limited ramp capacities in Andorra are taken into account when choosing the vehicle: often a Sprinter or a 12-t vehicle with a tail lift is the more economical solution than the articulated truck. We quote prices as a non-binding guide value depending on the route, vehicle size and lead time – it becomes binding with your fixed-price quote.
