Freight forwarder Castellón de la Plana: UK freight for Spain's tile coast
DAGO Express is a freight forwarder in Castellón de la Plana for companies that want their goods to travel from the UK to the Costa del Azahar on a single vehicle. We collect at your site in Britain, drive the consignment through France and down the Mediterranean coast, and hand it over at the destination in Castellón. It is never unloaded at a groupage depot along the way, and it does not wait for other shipments to be consolidated. This means less handling and a lower risk of damage, which matters particularly for fragile goods.
Typically, the vehicle arrives for loading 60 to 120 minutes after booking. Where a specific collection time is needed, we agree it with you in advance to suit your warehouse operations. 99.5 % of our transports reach their destination on time, a figure that matters to production planners and distributors alike.
Goods that travel between the UK and Castellón
The region's industry shapes the flow of goods: machinery and spare parts for tile plants, glazes and chemicals under ADR rules where needed, packaging, electronic components and building materials. In the opposite direction, ceramic tiles, sanitaryware and other products leave the province for British distributors, builders' merchants and retailers. Furniture, printed matter and trade fair equipment round off the range of consignments we plan for this route.

Logistics in Castellón de la Plana: ceramics, port and citrus
Castellón de la Plana is the capital of the province of Castellón in the Valencian Community and has around 175,000 inhabitants. The city and its neighbouring towns form the heart of Spain's ceramic tile industry. Around Vila-real, Onda, l'Alcora and Almassora, factories produce tiles for markets across Europe, and a network of glaze manufacturers, machinery builders and packaging suppliers has grown up alongside them.
The Port of Castellón, in the El Grau district on the coast, handles raw materials for this industry together with bulk goods, containers and products from the refinery and chemical plants next to the harbour. Castellón–Costa Azahar Airport, a little inland, mainly serves passenger traffic.
Agriculture remains important too. The coastal plain, La Plana, is known for its citrus groves, and oranges and mandarins from the area are packed and shipped all over Europe during the season. For shippers in the UK, the mix of heavy industry, exporters and seasonal trade means regular demand for freight transport in both directions. Consignments can be collected directly at the factories and distribution centres, whether they are bound for Britain or the goods arrive from there for local plants.
The route from the UK to Castellón de la Plana
Consignments leave Britain on the ferry from Dover to Calais or on Le Shuttle through the Channel Tunnel. The route then runs south through France to the Mediterranean and crosses into Spain at La Jonquera. From there the AP-7 follows the coast past Barcelona and Tarragona, then past Vinaròs and Benicarló down to Castellón. The A-7 and the N-340 run parallel and serve the towns along the way.
Some shipments can instead go by ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao, followed by the AP-68 along the Ebro valley towards Zaragoza and the A-23 down to Sagunto, between Castellón and Valencia. We compare both options when planning the job and choose the one that suits your consignment.
Customs for Spain after Brexit
For goods from Great Britain to Spain, an export declaration must be lodged in the UK and an import declaration in the EU. The exporter and the importer both need an EORI number. Before boarding at Dover or Folkestone, the declarations are linked to the vehicle through the Goods Vehicle Movement Service, which issues a Goods Movement Reference. Please have your customs agent organise this before collection, as DAGO Express does not prepare customs declarations or handle customs clearance. Complete documents help to avoid delays at the border.
Collection and delivery in Castellón de la Plana and the surrounding area
Within the city we deliver to the centre, the university campus, the retail parks and the Ciudad del Transporte, as well as to the port area at El Grau. The ceramic towns of Vila-real, Almassora, Onda and l'Alcora are only a short drive away, and Borriol, Benicàssim, Burriana and Nules can also be included. For combined runs, Sagunto and Valencia to the south lie on the same motorway. Tile factories and distribution centres usually have docks and forklifts, whereas smaller showrooms and building sites often do not. Let us know the conditions at the delivery point, and we will plan accordingly.
Vehicles for heavy and light loads
Heavy goods such as tiles often reach the weight limit before the space is full, so the articulated lorry with 13.6 loading metres, 33 pallet spaces and a payload of up to 24 tonnes is a common choice for full loads. A 7.2 LDM lorry takes 18 pallets up to 5,000 kg, and the 6 LDM lorry 14 pallets up to 2,400 kg. For samples and spare parts, a minivan for two Euro pallets up to 450 kg is often enough. Please state the weight of your goods when booking, so that the payload of the vehicle matches it.
Deliveries to more than 38 countries
Your freight forwarder between the UK and Castellón

Frequently asked questions about freight transport in Castellón de la Plana
How many pallets can freight transport in Castellón de la Plana carry?
Capacity depends on pallet dimensions, weight and the vehicle. Share the shipment details so we can plan a suitable truck.
Can I request a tail lift for freight transport in Castellón de la Plana?
Yes. Tell us if neither the pickup nor delivery site has a loading dock or forklift; we will check the availability of a suitable vehicle.
When should I choose a part load or a full truck load for Castellón de la Plana?
That depends on volume, weight and delivery date. A part load shares available space; a full load reserves a vehicle for your freight.
Small and urgent shipment? See courier service in Castellón de la Plana
How fast can you collect my goods for Castellón de la Plana?
In most cases a vehicle arrives at your UK premises 60 to 120 minutes after booking. A fixed collection time can also be agreed if your warehouse needs it.
Can you transport ceramic tiles from Castellón to the UK?
Yes. Tiles and sanitaryware are typical loads from the province. Because tiles are heavy, we usually plan a lorry or articulated lorry whose payload suits the weight of the pallets.
Which route leads from the UK to Castellón?
Normally Dover–Calais or Le Shuttle, then through France to La Jonquera and along the AP-7 via Barcelona and Tarragona. A ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao is an alternative for some jobs.
Do you carry glazes and chemicals for the tile industry?
Yes, with partners holding an ADR licence where the goods are classed as dangerous. Provide the UN number and packaging information when booking so that the right vehicle is assigned.
What customs documents apply to shipments from Great Britain to Spain?
You need an export declaration in the UK, an import declaration in the EU and EORI numbers for exporter and importer. Your customs agent should arrange them before collection.
Is my consignment reloaded during the journey?
No. It stays on the vehicle that collected it in the UK until it is unloaded in Castellón, which reduces handling and the risk of damage to fragile goods such as tiles.
Can you deliver to the port area at El Grau?
Yes. We deliver to businesses in the port district as well as to the Ciudad del Transporte and the industrial areas in Vila-real, Almassora and Onda.
How is my freight insured?
Insurance through the Schunck Group covers up to 8.33 SDR per kilogram of gross weight. Higher-value consignments can receive additional cover at short notice.
How can I follow my shipment to Castellón?
A tracking link arrives after booking, and you receive an email at collection and delivery. The DAGO ShipperHub shows ETAs and reports for all your orders.
