Freight forwarder Kaunas: direct road freight between the UK and Lithuania
Manufacturers and distributors that source from Britain need a freight forwarder in Kaunas that delivers without detours. DAGO Express handles your consignment as a direct transport from the United Kingdom to Kaunas: the goods are loaded onto one vehicle at your site and unloaded only at the destination in Lithuania. Along the entire route, including the Via Baltica, there is no reloading at a groupage depot and no consolidation with other shipments. Handling is kept to a minimum, which reduces the risk of damage and makes arrival times for your road freight easier to plan.
After booking, a vehicle usually reaches your loading bay within 60 to 120 minutes, or at a fixed time that suits your operations. Our documented punctuality is 99.5 %. Once your order is confirmed you get a tracking link, and the confirmation of delivery arrives by email.

Machinery and production equipment, automotive parts, electronic components, furniture and furniture components, packaging, building materials and textiles are typical of the consignments we carry.

Logistics in Kaunas: industry and logistics in the centre of Lithuania
Kaunas is Lithuania's second-largest city, with around 300,000 inhabitants, and lies at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers. Between the two world wars it was the country's temporary capital, and its modernist architecture from that period is internationally recognised. Today it is an important industrial, academic and logistics centre. It is home to Kaunas University of Technology and several other universities, which train much of the local workforce.
The Kaunas Free Economic Zone, located near the airport at Karmėlava, has attracted international manufacturers of electronics, automotive components and other industrial goods. Furniture production, food processing, textiles and IT services add to a broad economic base that relies on regular freight transport. The Kaunas Intermodal Terminal at Palemonas links road and rail networks and is connected to the new European-gauge Rail Baltica line, while Kaunas Airport handles cargo alongside passenger traffic.
Because Kaunas sits where the main motorways from Vilnius, Klaipėda and the Polish border meet, many businesses use it as a distribution base for the whole of Lithuania and the neighbouring Baltic states. For shippers in the UK, that makes Kaunas a natural destination for full loads as well as smaller consignments.
The route for road freight from the UK to Kaunas
After crossing the Channel from Dover to Calais or travelling through the tunnel from Folkestone to Coquelles, the vehicle drives through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany into Poland. From the Warsaw area, the Via Baltica (E67) runs north-east as the S61 expressway via Łomża and Suwałki directly to the Lithuanian border. On the Lithuanian side, the A5 motorway continues via Marijampolė directly to Kaunas. It is the standard corridor for haulage to the Baltic region.
Kaunas itself is a major crossroads of the country's main roads. The A1 motorway links the city with Vilnius to the east and Klaipėda on the coast, the A6 leads north-east towards Daugavpils in Latvia, and the Via Baltica continues north via Panevėžys to Riga and Tallinn. This makes it easy to combine a delivery in Kaunas with further stops elsewhere in the Baltic states.
Customs between the UK and Lithuania
Lithuania is part of the EU, so goods leaving Great Britain need an export declaration in the UK and an import declaration in the EU. The sender and the importer each need an EORI number. At Dover or the Channel Tunnel, the Goods Vehicle Movement Service links the declarations to the vehicle through a Goods Movement Reference. Please make these arrangements with your customs agent before collection, as DAGO Express does not handle customs clearance.
Collection and delivery in Kaunas and the surrounding area
We deliver throughout Kaunas, from the Old Town and Laisvės alėja in the centre to the industrial district of Petrašiūnai, the logistics area at Palemonas, and residential and commercial neighbourhoods such as Aleksotas, Šilainiai, Dainava and Vilijampolė. The Free Economic Zone and the airport at Karmėlava are covered as well. Surrounding towns, including Garliava, Raudondvaris, Jonava, Kėdainiai, Prienai and Kaišiadorys, can be served as well. If required, a second stop in Vilnius can be planned into the route for your haulage order.
Factories in the Free Economic Zone often work with scheduled deliveries and strict gate registration, while shops and offices in the centre may have limited access for larger vehicles. Let us know these details when you book, and we will match the vehicle and arrival time to the site requirements.
Vehicle options for freight to Kaunas
Smaller shipments travel in a minivan for two Euro pallets and up to 450 kg or in a van for four pallets and up to 800 kg, which suits an urgent pallet delivery. A 7.2 LDM lorry takes 18 pallets and up to 5,000 kg, which suits partial loads of machinery or furniture. For full loads, an articulated lorry with 13.6 loading metres carries 33 pallets and up to 24 tonnes.

Frequently Asked Questions about our courier service Kaunas
How quickly can my goods for Kaunas be collected in the UK?
Once the booking is confirmed, a vehicle normally arrives within 60 to 120 minutes. If your loading bay works with time slots, you can also book a fixed collection time.
Which route does freight from the UK to Kaunas take?
After the Channel crossing, the vehicle drives through Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland, follows the Via Baltica to the Lithuanian border and continues on the A5 motorway via Marijampolė to Kaunas.
Will my goods be reloaded on the way to Lithuania?
No. Your consignment stays on the same vehicle from collection in the UK to delivery in Kaunas. We do not route it through a groupage depot, so it is only handled at loading and unloading.
