UK Licence for the Community for international road haulage

22 Jul 2024

Get a UK Licence for the Community to transport goods by road to or through the EU, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, and the rules you have to follow.

You need an UK Licence for the Community if you make journeys for hire or reward within the EU, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

It’s a single permit that covers trips between these countries. It also allows transit traffic through these countries to and from non-EU countries - but you need extra permits for the non-EU countries.

The UK Licence for the Community also allows you to carry out a limited number of haulage jobs inside an EU country (called ‘cabotage’) or between 2 EU countries (called ‘cross-trade’).

There are no limits on the number of available licences.
