Export / Wholesale Supply
Wood Pellets Supplier for Buyers Across Europe
Bulk and bagged wood pellets shipped from Galicia to Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Maderas Caamaño supplies wood pellets from its sawmill in Galicia, Spain, to buyers and brokers across Europe. The pellets are produced in-house from Galician pine, with manufacturing parameters aligned with the ENplus framework, and are shipped by full truckload to destinations across the EU as well as to the United Kingdom and Ireland. For an international buyer or broker sourcing pellets at scale, the practical questions are usually the same regardless of destination: which countries can be reached reliably, what packaging formats are available, what quality parameters the pellets are made to, and which incoterms and paperwork apply once the load crosses a border. Whether you need a single truckload for a heating season or a standing supply arrangement for a broker book, this page sets out the countries served, the packaging formats offered, and the documentation and incoterms buyers should expect.

A Supply Network Across Western and Central Europe
Pellets from Vimianzo are regularly exported to Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Ireland. That reach spans southern, western, central and northern Europe, giving a broker or buyer a single supplier for a multi-country order book rather than sourcing country by country. Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland are all part of the EU single market, so goods move between them without customs duties or border checks, and intra-EU B2B supply is typically VAT-exempt at origin under the reverse-charge mechanism when the buyer holds a valid, VIES-verified EU VAT number. The United Kingdom sits outside the EU, so shipments there follow standard export procedures, and any solid wood packaging — pallets, crates, dunnage — used in the load must carry ISPM 15 heat-treatment marking, a requirement that does not apply to EU destinations. All road shipments travel under a standard CMR consignment note, the usual document for international road freight in Europe, regardless of which of these nine markets the load is heading to.
Bulk and Bagged Supply to Match How You Buy
Pellets are available in the format that suits your handling and storage setup. For buyers taking full truckloads, pellets can be supplied loose in bulk, moved by tanker or walking-floor trailer and tipped or blown directly into a silo or storage bay at destination — the usual choice for heating plants, district-heating operators and larger distributors who already have bulk storage in place. For retail and smaller commercial buyers, pellets are packed into 15kg bags, stacked and shrink-wrapped on pallets for efficient handling and onward distribution to shops, merchants or end users with domestic stoves. A middle option — bulk bags — suits buyers with forklift handling who want bulk-scale quantities without loose tipping, useful where a site has forklift access but no silo. Brokers and distributors often mix formats within a single order, for example bulk for a heating-plant customer and bagged pallets for a retail network on the same route, and each shipment can be discussed individually against the buyer's own logistics.
Manufacturing Quality Aligned with the ENplus Framework
Pellets are manufactured in 6mm and 8mm diameters with moisture content kept below 10%, with production parameters aligned with the ENplus framework used across the European pellet trade. This framework covers diameter tolerance, moisture, ash content and mechanical durability — the factors that determine how cleanly a pellet burns, how much dust and fines it sheds in handling, and how well it holds together over a long road journey and repeated loading. For an international buyer specifying a load sight-unseen, those are the parameters worth asking about directly, rather than relying on general marketing language. Buyers supplying domestic stove and boiler markets, where diameter consistency and low fines matter for automatic feed systems, will find this a relevant reference point when specifying an order, and the same applies to distributors blending pellets into an existing product range under their own packaging. For full technical detail on the pellet specification, see the wood pellets product page and the ENplus A1 pellets page.
Incoterms and Truckload Planning
Shipments are arranged on EXW, FOB or delivered terms, whichever suits the buyer's own logistics arrangement — brokers with their own haulage network often prefer EXW collection from the Vimianzo yard, while buyers without an established carrier typically ask for a delivered price. A standard European road trailer carries roughly 24-26 tonnes, or up to about 33 EPAL pallet positions, and this is the general reference point for planning a full truckload, though it isn't a fixed capacity or rate for any specific order. Road transit time depends on the destination and on EU driver-hours rules that limit daily driving, so get in touch with your delivery address for a lead time specific to your order. Maderas Caamaño's broader export capability — including sawn timber and ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets for the same destinations — is covered on the timber exporter overview page.
Frequently asked questions
Which countries do you supply wood pellets to?
Pellets are regularly supplied to Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Shipments to the EU countries in that list move under standard intra-EU trade rules; shipments to the UK follow export procedures and require ISPM 15 marking on any solid wood packaging in the load.
Can you supply pellets in bulk, or only bagged?
Both. Pellets can be supplied loose in bulk by tanker or walking-floor trailer, in 15kg bags on shrink-wrapped pallets, or in bulk bags for buyers with forklift handling. Let us know your storage and handling setup and we can advise on the most practical format.
What documentation is needed for a cross-border order?
International road shipments travel under a standard CMR consignment note. For EU destinations, intra-EU B2B supply is typically VAT-exempt at origin under the reverse-charge mechanism when the buyer holds a valid, VIES-verified EU VAT number. For UK shipments, any solid wood packaging in the load needs ISPM 15 heat-treatment marking, since the UK sits outside the EU.
What incoterms do you work with?
Orders can be arranged on EXW, FOB or delivered terms, depending on whether you or Maderas Caamaño arranges transport. Contact us with your destination and preferred terms and we'll confirm what's practical for your order.
