Regular routes across the European Union

At Doseguer we understand that your goods are your most valuable asset. That is why we offer international refrigerated transport with end-to-end traceability and a fleet approved for chilled and frozen loads, backed by more than three decades moving sensitive products outside Spain.

We run regular routes across the European Union, with particular focus on the Spain–Italy corridor, both as full loads and as chilled groupage. Since this is intra-community traffic there are no customs formalities: the work lies in coordinating loading and unloading windows and in keeping the temperature steady the whole way.

Types of international service

Depending on temperature band and volume, your shipment travels one way or another:

International chilled 0 ºC to +8 ºC

Fresh produce in positive temperature to the main European markets.

International frozen −18 ºC / −20 ºC

A negative cold chain held throughout the European corridor.

Ambient controlled +15 ºC to +25 ºC

Controlled band for pharmaceutical products, cosmetics and sensitive beverages.

Full load (FTL) Dedicated

A vehicle dedicated to your shipment, with direct transit and tighter control of timings.

Chilled groupage Consolidated

Optimises cost and carbon footprint while holding each pallet's temperature band.

Door to door and cross-docking Platforms

Deliveries to factories, logistics platforms, retail and HORECA, by appointment.

Spain ⇄ Italy, our priority corridor

We move perishable and sensitive goods between Spain and Italy every day: from Levante, Andalusia and Catalonia to northern and central Italy, and back. It is the route we know best and where we have the highest frequency, both as full loads and as chilled groupage.

The usual sectors on that corridor are fruit and vegetables, pharmaceutical products, meat, dairy, the HORECA channel and packaged regulated chemicals. Beyond Italy we also work with Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Portugal.

Frequently asked questions

What temperatures do you work with internationally?

Chilled from 0 ºC to +8 ºC, frozen down to −20 ºC and ambient controlled from +15 ºC to +25 ºC. The range is set in the transport contract and monitored throughout the journey.

Can you combine different temperature ranges in one shipment?

Depending on the goods and the volume, we propose groupage, a dedicated vehicle or a dual-temperature unit with movable bulkhead. If the combination cannot guarantee the integrity of the thermal plan, we suggest two separate shipments.

How do you prove the cold chain was maintained?

We provide the temperature record and the traceability evidence for the journey, along with any incident and the action taken.

Do you offer an urgent international service?

Yes, subject to fleet availability and always respecting the thermal plan and driving hours. We will propose the best option for your delivery window.

Do you work with euro pallets and pallet exchange?

Yes. We coordinate euro pallets, exchanges and returns according to the terms you have agreed with your customer.

Is customs clearance required?

Not for intra-community traffic. For destinations outside the European Union, please ask us about the specific case before booking.
