Freight Forwarding Lithuania – Direct transport Germany ↔ Lithuania

Transport to Lithuania runs as a direct run and reaches Vilnius in 2 working days (approx. 1,050 km). Lithuania is an EU member and lies within the Schengen area – border clearance does not apply.

Loading of shipping cartons – freight forwarding Lithuania

Speed Logistics runs direct transport between Germany and Lithuania – to Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and every other region of the country. The main leg runs via Poland and the corridor at Suwałki; from Berlin it is around 1,200 kilometres. As a direct run without transshipment we achieve a plannable transit time of two working days; express runs with two drivers are faster on request.

Lithuania is an EU member: your shipment runs without customs formalities within the single market, which makes the route attractive for time-critical supply chains. You give us the key data and date, we deliver a fixed-price quote within a few hours – with personal dispatch that stays reachable around the clock, even when the truck rolls through Poland at night.

Scope of services for Lithuania transport

We serve the route with all vehicle classes, from the sprinter van (3.5 t) for urgent part shipments to the 40-tonne articulated truck for full loads. Our focus is on mechanical-engineering components, pharma shipments and supplier parts for the industry around Kaunas and Vilnius, as well as port traffic to and from Klaipėda.

  • Full load (FTL) and part load (LTL) Germany–Lithuania
  • Express freight to Vilnius or Kaunas with a fixed delivery time
  • Pre- and onward carriage to the Baltic Sea port of Klaipėda
  • Temperature-controlled and GDP-compliant pharma transport
  • Premium handling for electronics and high-value goods incl. insurance

Process: this is how your shipment reaches Lithuania

After your enquiry with the pickup and delivery address, dimensions and weight, you receive a fixed-price quote. We dispatch the vehicle, pick up the goods and run the main leg via the A2 towards Warsaw and on via the Via Baltica to Lithuania. As no customs border is crossed, there are no clearance stops – the transit time depends solely on distance, driving hours and your time window. Live tracking and proof of delivery are standard. On request we notify the recipient in the local language and book time windows at ramps with slot requirements.

Return loads and Baltic traffic

Lithuania is the logistics hub of the Baltics: many customers combine outbound deliveries with return loads from Vilnius or Kaunas, or use Lithuania as a stopover for onward transport to Latvia and Estonia. Our dispatch team plans such round trips on request – this reduces the cost per trip and secures fixed capacity on the route, even in high-demand weeks.

Vehicle classes and equipment

Depending on the shipment we dispatch curtainsider articulated trucks for standard pallets and machine parts, box vehicles for moisture- and theft-sensitive goods, refrigerated vehicles for temperature-controlled shipments, and vehicles with a tail lift for recipients without a ramp. For voluminous, light goods – such as packaging or furniture components – a mega trailer with increased loading space is worthwhile. Load securing is carried out professionally with straps, edge protection and anti-slip mats; for high-value electronics we add sealed loading spaces and documented handovers at every point of the chain.

Why Speed Logistics for Lithuania?

Over 1,200 kilometres, dispatch decides punctuality: realistic driving-hour planning, weather and traffic situation in Poland, fixed time windows at the recipient. We run the route regularly, report status changes actively and give you a fixed point of contact instead of a hotline. For sensitive and high-value cargo we offer a direct run without transshipment – the most important argument against transport damage and delays in the groupage network.

Frequently asked questions: Freight Forwarding Lithuania

How long does a transport from Germany to Lithuania take?

As a direct run usually two working days, for example from Berlin to Vilnius or Kaunas over around 1,200 kilometres via Poland. With a two-driver crew the route can be driven without an overnight break, and delivery is then sometimes possible after about 24 hours.

Do I need customs papers for a Lithuania transport?

No. Lithuania is an EU member, your shipment moves in the free circulation of the single market. The usual trade papers such as a delivery note and CMR consignment note suffice, which we create or carry for you. Customs clearance or waiting times at borders are eliminated entirely. This applies equally to outbound and return transport, including for regular traffic.

Does Speed Logistics also run part loads to Vilnius or Kaunas?

Yes. In addition to full loads in the articulated truck, we run part loads and individual pallets – depending on the quantity in the sprinter van, 7.5-tonne truck or as groupage on the Germany–Baltics axis. For urgent part shipments we recommend the exclusive direct run without transshipment with a fixed delivery time. This way even a small shipment stays plannable, insured and protected.

Are temperature-controlled pharma transports to Lithuania possible?

Yes. We organise GDP-compliant, temperature-controlled transport to Lithuania – with continuous temperature control within the agreed range, documentation and live tracking. Lithuania has a growing pharma and life-science sector; we run this type of shipment on the route correspondingly regularly. On request you receive the temperature record after delivery as evidence for your quality assurance.

Does Speed Logistics handle transport to the port of Klaipėda?

Yes. We run pre- and onward carriage to and from the Baltic Sea port of Klaipėda, for example for project cargo or shipments with a ferry and sea-freight connection. Delivery is made on schedule for the gate cut-off; the necessary port papers we coordinate in advance with you and the terminal.

What does a transport to Lithuania cost?

That depends on vehicle size, route and pre-carriage – a sprinter van costs considerably less than a full articulated truck, and express with two drivers is higher. Send us dimensions, weight and dates: you receive a non-binding fixed-price quote without hidden surcharges within a few hours.

What should I pay particular attention to for transport to Lithuania?

The route runs via Poland – the Polish e-toll (e-TOLL) and the Lithuanian e-vignette for trucks must be taken into account. A customs stop does not apply within the single market. For onward traffic into the rest of the Baltics, Lithuania is also the gateway to the Via Baltica.

Why is a direct run worthwhile instead of groupage to Lithuania?

The direct run reaches Vilnius in 2 working days without transshipment, whereas groupage takes considerably longer via transshipment hubs. For sensitive, high-value or time-critical goods the handling risk is thus eliminated. At full utilisation the full load is often also the better choice on price.
