How does Neele-Vat provide pharmalogistics between England and the EU?

11-12-2025

Pharmaceutical products require extreme care, strict temperature control and error-free documentation, especially since the Brexit. Neele-Vat provides pharmaceutical logistics between England and the EU to the highest quality standards, with GDP-certified processes, temperature-controlled transports and full customs support. Thanks to our years of experience in healthcare logistics, we ensure safe, compliant and transparent deliveries between the UK and European markets.

Context & challenge

Since the Brexit, pharmaceutical products between England and the EU no longer count as intra-community goods. They require full customs clearance, certificates of origin and, in many cases, additional health documents. This makes pharmaceutical transport a complex challenge where regulations, temperature management and time are crucial factors.

Neele-Vat has turned this challenge into a streamlined logistics solution. With our own GDP-certified warehouses, refrigerated trailers (2-8°C and 15-25°C) and digital temperature registration, we ensure that every shipment remains fully traceable. In addition, our customs teams work closely with UK and European authorities to avoid delays and ensure compliance with legislation.

How does pharmalogistics work between England and the EU?

Pharmalogistics require precision in every link of the chain. Neele-Vat works according to a controlled process:

Booking and verification of product data - including HS codes, batch numbers and temperature requirements.
Preparation of customs documents - Export certificates, import declarations and any health declarations.
Preconditioning of trailers - temperature zones are set before loading.
Collection and loading under GDP conditions - Validation via calibrated measuring equipment.
Ferry or tunnel crossing - real-time temperature monitoring and backup communication systems.

Customs clearance and delivery - Delivery within predetermined time windows with Proof of Delivery and temperature data.
