The Canary Islands

A holiday destination for many, but for us an important Spanish freight destination off the coast of northwestern Africa.

Service Information

Situated 62 miles off the West Coast of Africa, the Canary Islands include (from largest to smallest): Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montana Clara, Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste. The capital of this autonomous community is shared by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The Canaries are primary holiday destinations for British tourists. As such, business has a seasonal nature to it. Large quantities of British products are in great demand, much of which consists of typical British foodstuffs.

Our freight services to the Canary Islands

There are a couple of options available when arranging transport to the Canary islands. But bear in mind that whilst we are able to transport dangerous goods to the Canaries, compatibility with foodstuffs may occasionally result in a day or two’s delay for dangerous goods.

Our Partner in the Canary Islands

Our partner in the Canary Islands is Best Logistics Canarias, a young, dynamic and independent company, established in 2012. Located in Tenerife and Las Palmas, their facilities are wholly owned and are customs bonded. An extensive fleet of vehicles on hand provides for a fast and personalised distribution service for both groupage and full loads alike.

There are just a small handful of clearing agents in the Canaries, so whilst local VAT and Duty charges are usually payable by the consignee, with the assistance of our partners this can be arranged from the UK, at additional cost. For more information, visit their website.

Customer service is impeccable

Hi Tony

May I say, on behalf of Clarkes, that your customer service is impeccable and to be kept abreast of the situation was very helpful.

Let’s hope this is the start of a mutual beneficial working relationship!
