Check international road haulage permits

Operating vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating above 3.5 tonnes on international journeys from the UK, requires a number of licences and permits.

A vehicle operator licence must be held to carry your own goods, and other people’s goods, both in the UK and on international journeys, and for operating vehicles over 2.5 tonnes to transport goods to or through Europe. Check how the new rules for international road haulage affect you.

The other licences and permits required depend on which countries the vehicle will travel to or through.

There is a comprehensive list and details at:
