Logistics Overview

Andorra is a landlocked microstate in the Pyrenees between Spain and France. While it has no ports or airports, its unique status outside the EU VAT area but inside the EU Customs Union for industrial goods makes it a specialized hub for road freight, warehousing, and duty-free retail logistics.

Infrastructure Advantage

As a landlocked microstate, Andorra relies entirely on road transport. Primary maritime access is via the Port of Barcelona (~200km) and air freight via Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN, ~200km) or Toulouse–Blagnac Airport (TLS, ~180km).
