Are There Any Items Restricted for Delivery Through the Pall-Ex Network?

We’re proud to be able to transport a large variety of items swiftly, safely and securely through our network, however, certain products are restricted or prohibited.

Restricted Items

Hazardous Goods

Dangerous goods (also known as ADR goods) are highly regulated for transportation on roads in the UK and Europe. These must be correctly classified, packaged, labelled, and documented, and carried by a certified ADR haulier.

Alcohol

Alcohol can be shipped through a pallet network, but there are restrictions and limitations in place. The exact volume, size and strength of the alcohol must be correctly declared for all consignments containing alcohol.
