Know the Rules for Your Move in Luxembourg
A road goods transport authorisation from the Ministry of the Economy, held by a company with a fixed establishment in Luxembourg and a qualified manager.
Before you rely on this
Luxembourg licenses the business of carrying goods by road at the company level. The company that operates the trucks needs an establishment authorisation (autorisation d’établissement) for road goods transport from the Ministry of the Economy, under rules that implement the European Union’s common standards for road transport operators: good repute, professional competence and, for international work, financial standing. Moves into other European countries also need an EU Community Licence from the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works. Always confirm current requirements directly before hiring a mover.
What kind of question is it?
An establishment authorisation for the business and, for movers that operate their own vehicles, a road goods transport authorisation from the Ministry of the Economy, with a fixed place of business in Luxembourg, a manager who meets good repute and professional competence conditions, registered vehicles, and professionally qualified drivers.
Luxembourg →No removal-specific statute was identified. Luxembourg courts have treated a full-service removal as a contract for services (contrat d’entreprise) rather than a contract of carriage, under which the mover must deliver your goods intact unless it proves a cause that excuses it.
