Freight forwarder Vantaa: direct freight from the UK to Finland's logistics city
Vantaa is where much of Finland's freight is sorted, stored and distributed, and a freight forwarder in Vantaa needs to fit into that tightly scheduled environment. DAGO Express moves your goods from the UK to Vantaa as a direct transport. A single vehicle collects at your site in Britain and delivers straight to the distribution centre, airport business park or production site in Vantaa. Because the consignment is never unloaded at a groupage depot on the way, the risk of damage stays low, and the road freight is in one pair of hands from start to finish.
You can expect a vehicle 60 to 120 minutes after booking, or at a fixed time if your dispatch works with specific loading slots. Our punctuality is documented at 99.5 %, which matters when the receiving warehouse has booked a strict unloading window. Throughout the job, you are kept informed by email at collection and at delivery, with a tracking link sent once the order is confirmed.
Goods for Vantaa's warehouses and businesses
E-commerce stock, consumer electronics, automotive parts, machinery, chemicals in approved packaging, building materials, textiles and medical devices are all regular consignments. Distributors based in Vantaa can also send goods back to the UK using the same booking process. For full loads and smaller shipments alike, direct transport is an alternative to traditional groupage networks.

Logistics in Vantaa: airport, ring road and distribution centres
With roughly 250,000 residents, Vantaa is Finland's fourth-largest city and part of the capital region alongside Helsinki, Espoo and Kauniainen. What sets it apart is its central role in commercial haulage and distribution. Helsinki Airport lies within the city boundaries, and the surrounding Aviapolis district has grown into a large business area with offices, hotels, retail and air cargo operations. For a logistics company, that makes it a busy and demanding place to deliver.
Along Ring III, the orbital motorway that runs through Vantaa from Espoo to the Vuosaari harbour, a long chain of warehouses and distribution centres supplies retailers, wholesalers and online shops across Finland. Industrial and logistics areas such as Viinikkala, Petikko, Hakkila and Kivistö host companies from food wholesale and pharmaceuticals to spare parts distribution and construction supplies.
This concentration of storage and distribution makes Vantaa one of the most frequent destinations for imports from Western Europe. Deliveries are often tied to booked docks and narrow time windows, and consignments arriving from the UK need to match them closely. A direct transport, with the same vehicle from collection to unloading, makes those slots much easier to hit than a chain of transfers, because no intermediate handling can hold the road freight up.
The route from the UK to Vantaa
Consignments for Vantaa cross the Channel from Dover to Calais or on Le Shuttle from Folkestone to Coquelles, then continue through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany to the ferry port of Travemünde. Ro-ro ferries connect Travemünde with Helsinki's cargo harbour at Vuosaari, from where Ring III leads straight into Vantaa's logistics zones. Once the ferry docks, this is one of the shortest final legs to any Finnish destination.
Several radial motorways also meet in Vantaa: national road 3 (E12) towards Tampere, national road 4 (E75) towards Lahti, and national road 45 north towards Tuusula. If ferry timetables make it more practical, the journey can also run through Denmark and Sweden with a crossing to Turku or Naantali, or along the Via Baltica with the short hop from Tallinn to Helsinki. We choose the route to suit your delivery schedule.
Customs requirements for freight to Finland
Finland is an EU country, so goods from Great Britain need an export declaration in the UK and an import declaration in the EU. Sender and importer each need an EORI number. The Goods Vehicle Movement Service links the declarations to the vehicle at Dover or the Channel Tunnel. Please have your customs agent complete these steps before collection, as DAGO Express does not prepare customs declarations or handle customs clearance.
Collection and delivery in Vantaa and the surrounding area
We deliver to all parts of Vantaa: the Aviapolis district around the airport, the logistics estates of Viinikkala, Petikko and Kivistö, the industrial area of Hakkila, and the town centres of Tikkurila, Myyrmäki and Koivukylä. Neighbouring municipalities are covered as well, including Kerava, Tuusula, Sipoo and Nurmijärvi to the north and east. Deliveries to Helsinki or Espoo can be combined on the same run, which suits companies supplying several sites in the capital region.
Large distribution centres usually expect a booked time slot and a vehicle that fits their docks. Share your slot reference, dock type and any pallet delivery requirements when you book so that we can plan accordingly.
Which vehicle fits your load
Full replenishment loads for distribution centres travel in a 13.6 LDM articulated lorry with 33 Euro pallets and up to 24 tonnes. Partial loads are well served by a 6 LDM lorry with 14 pallets and up to 2,400 kg. For smaller retail or office deliveries without a loading dock, a van with a tail lift and a pallet truck takes eight pallets and up to 800 kg, with a limit of 550 kg per package, so even sites without handling equipment can receive their goods.
Deliveries to more than 38 countries
