Strategic Logistics Excellence
Premier Freight Forwarding & Road Transport from Turkey to the UK
Trade between the United Kingdom and Turkey continues to expand dynamically. At Brosan Logistics, we provide highly reliable and rapid road freight services (FTL, LTL Groupage, Minivan) that stand 100% compliant with complex post-Brexit customs procedures.
Our UK Freight Transport Solutions
We configure multiple transport models depending on the volume and urgency of your cargo:
- Full Truck Load (FTL): A dedicated truck reserved entirely for your goods. Average transit time is 6-8 days, offering uninterrupted GPS tracking and guaranteed secure arrival.
- Less Than Truckload (LTL) / Part Load: A highly cost-effective mode for smaller volumes. Your goods share trailer space with our other clients, departing on regular weekly schedules.
- Expedited Minivan Service: Door-to-door, 48-72 hour ultra-fast logistics designed for up to 1300 kg. It reaches air freight speeds but entirely skips chaotic airport cargo terminal delays.
- Refrigerated (Temperature Controlled) Transport: Specialized fridge trailers to transport fresh food, perishables, or medical supplies securely kept between -20°C and +20°C.
- Out of Gauge / Heavy Haulage (Lowbed): Engineered transport for massive industrial items, machinery, and factory relocations that do not fit inside standard trailers.

Truck Routes via Europe to the UK
Monitored dynamically by our control room based on weather and port queues:
- Road & Channel Crossing (Calais - Dover): Turkey -> Bulgaria -> Serbia -> Hungary -> Austria -> Germany -> France (Calais). Followed by Ferry/Eurotunnel crossing to Dover.
- Ro-Ro Intermodal Via Italy: Vessels from Turkish ports to Trieste (Italy), followed by road transport via France, crossing to the UK. A strong winter alternative.
Customs Clearance & Post-Brexit Documentation for the UK
Brosan Logistics operates as your expert Brexit trade consultant. The UK is out of the EU Customs Union, operating under a Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
- Certificate of Origin (ATR replaced by FTA origin): Ensures Turkish industrial goods clear UK Customs with Zero Tariffs (0% Tax) under the FTA.
- Commercial Invoice & Packing List: Must distinctly display EORI numbers of both the seller and the British buyer.
- GMR (Goods Movement Reference): Digital barcode mandatory for boarding cross-channel ferries.
- T1/ENS Declarations: Transit documentation across EU nations, plus Entry Summary Declarations for UK border security.
