International road freight from Cantabria
239 loads originating in Cantabria, moving to 16 countries, with Switzerland among the top four destinations — something only Tarragona shares.
Average transit is a historical door-to-door mean, waiting time included. It is not a committed delivery lead time. How we measure transit times, zone by zone
Cantabria exports converted metal, chemicals and automotive components from Torrelavega, Reinosa and the Besaya corridor. Heavy industry with finished product, averaging 3.7 linear metres.
The split is unusually even: Poland 47, Romania 46, Germany 34 and Switzerland 28. Switzerland appearing there, in a province this size, points to specialty chemicals and precision components rather than consumer goods.
And Switzerland is not an ordinary destination on paper: outside the Customs Union, so every shipment carries export and import clearance.

Frequently asked questions
What changes for shipments to Switzerland?
It is outside the Customs Union: export clearance in Spain, import clearance at destination. It is handled as a matter of course, but it adds a step that does not exist inside the EU and belongs in the planning rather than at the border.
Do you move heavy steel product?
Converted metal on pallets or in packages travels as ordinary freight, and usually hits the weight limit before the metre limit. Coil, long profile or oversized pieces are a different service: send us real weights and dimensions and we will tell you if it fits.
