From 2 February 2022, businesses will need to use an online EU portal to register the details of some journeys within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway before the journey starts.

This will apply to you if you use:

• vans of any size or other light goods vehicles (sometimes called ‘light commercial vehicles’)
• vans towing trailers
• cars towing trailers
• HGVs
• HGVs towing trailers

There are no fees to use the EU portal to register a journey.

Journeys you must register

You must register the journey if you transport goods between two points in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway for commercial purposes. This means that you load goods at one point and unload them at another point in any of those countries.

There are a number of exceptions (e.g. when travelling from the UK to one place in Europe, where you can both unload and load goods) – read the full guidance here.
