894 loads originating in Tarragona province, moving to 19 countries — and the only profile on this list where Switzerland enters the top four destinations.
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
Tarragona is chemicals first. The Camp de Tarragona petrochemical complex is the largest in southern Europe, and around it sits an industry of specialties, plastics and converted products exporting high-value goods in moderate quantities.
That base explains the figure that sets the province apart: Switzerland appears among the top four destinations with 59 loads, and features in no other province's top list here. It is the specialty-chemicals pattern, not the mass-consumption one.
Switzerland is also not an ordinary destination on paper: it sits outside the Customs Union, so every shipment carries export and import clearance. Worth knowing before committing to a date.
Do you move dangerous goods from the petrochemical complex?
We handle ADR on the corridors where we have it covered, but ADR is confirmed class by class and shipment by shipment, not as a blanket. Send us the UN number, class and packing group and we will tell you whether it fits.
What changes for shipments to Switzerland?
It is outside the Customs Union: there is export clearance in Spain and import clearance at destination. It is arranged as a matter of course, but it adds a step that does not exist inside the EU and it belongs in the planning.
