Collecting and transporting groupage consignments from GB to NI

The consolidation hub model means:

• different consignments are brought together at a single approved establishment
• the consignments are certified together at that establishment and moved to Northern Ireland as a single unit

The consolidation hub model may be appropriate for your goods if the:

• consignments or pallets will arrive at the hub sealed and certified
• hub is the sole collection point

If the consignments or pallets will be sealed and certified at the hub you’ll need to check that:

• a certifying officer is available
• someone is authorised and available to apply an official seal to the trailer

If there are a series of collection points, the linear model may be more appropriate.
