What is meant by transport for own account?
The transportation of goods between different locations of the same company is referred to as transport for own account, but is only an ancillary activity for the company. This type of transport is carried out with the company's own vehicles and personnel. Although this traffic does not require a permit, it must still be reported to the authorities.
Freight forwarding differs from transport for own account in that it is not an ancillary activity, but business transportation.
