Sea freight Transport

Sea freight is a mode of transportation that involves moving goods by ship across the oceans or seas. There are different types of sea freight services, depending on the size, nature, and destination of the goods. Some of the main services our team can support you with, are:

• Full container load (FCL): This is a service where a shipper rents an entire container to transport their goods. FCL is suitable for large, heavy, or valuable shipments that require more security and protection. FCL is also faster and cheaper than other services, as it avoids multiple handling and transfers of goods.
• Less than container load (LCL): This is a service where a shipper shares a container with other shippers to transport their goods. LCL is suitable for small, light, or low-value shipments that do not fill a whole container. LCL is also more flexible and convenient than other services, as it allows shippers to ship smaller quantities and pay only for the space they use.
• Roll-on/roll-off (RORO): This is a service where vehicles or machinery are driven or rolled onto and off a ship. RORO is suitable for large, bulky, or wheeled shipments that cannot fit into containers. RORO is also simpler and faster than other services, as it eliminates the need for cranes or lifts to load and unload the goods.
• Dry bulk shipping: This is a service where loose or unpackaged goods, such as grains, coal, or iron ore, are loaded directly into the cargo holds of a ship. Dry bulk shipping is suitable for high-volume, low-value, or non-perishable shipments that do not require special handling or storage conditions. Dry bulk shipping is also more efficient and economical than other services, as it maximizes the use of space and reduces the costs of packaging and loading.

Rail Transport

It is one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways of transporting large volumes of goods over long distances. Cargo rail transport can carry various types of goods, such as piece cargo, bulk cargo, dangerous goods, and perishables, using different kinds of rail cars, containers, and wagons. Our team can provide solutions mainly connected with Europe and China but also with other regions in the world.

Air freight Transport

Cargo air transport is a mode of transportation that involves moving goods and products by aircraft. It is a fast and reliable way of delivering goods over long distances, especially for time-sensitive or high-value shipments. There are different types of cargo air transport, but our team is prepared to support you with:

• General cargo: This category covers a wide range of items that do not require special handling or storage conditions, such as electronics, clothing, medical supplies, and machinery parts.
• Special cargo: This category includes goods that have unique requirements for handling, storage, or transportation, such as fine art, pharmaceuticals, live animals, or perishable goods. These goods may need additional security, temperature control, or custom containers.
• Dangerous goods: This category refers to goods that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment, such as explosives, flammable liquids, radioactive materials, or infectious substances. These goods must follow strict regulations and procedures for packaging, labelling, documentation, and handling.
• Onboard Courier (OBC): OBC is a person who transports goods onboard a commercial flight. These can be goods from any sort of industry, such as automotive, aerospace, fashion or medical.
• Charter Cargo: Charter cargo is a type of air freight service that involves hiring a dedicated aircraft to transport goods from one point to another. Charter cargo is usually used for large, urgent, or special shipments that cannot be accommodated by regular commercial flights.

Customs

Customs operations vary depending on the type, origin, destination, and value of the goods, as well as the mode of transport and the trade regime involved. Some examples of customs operations our staff can support you with are:

• Freight forwarding: This is a service that involves arranging the transportation and documentation of goods on behalf of the importer or exporter. Freight forwarders act as intermediaries between the shippers and the carriers, and may also provide other services such as customs clearance, warehousing, or insurance.
• Customs warehousing: This is a procedure that allows the storage of goods under customs supervision without the payment of customs duties and taxes until they are released for consumption or re-exported. Customs warehousing can reduce the costs and risks of storing goods, and can also enable the processing or transformation of goods under customs control.
• Transit: This is a procedure that allows the movement of goods across the territory of one or more countries without the payment of customs duties and taxes, under certain conditions and guarantees. Transit can facilitate the trade and transport of goods between different regions or markets, and can also reduce the administrative and financial burdens for the traders.
• Temporary admission: This is a procedure that allows the importation of goods for a limited period of time without the payment of customs duties and taxes, provided that they are re-exported in the same state or after undergoing certain operations. Temporary admission can be used for various purposes, such as exhibitions, fairs, repairs, tests, or samples.
• Inward processing: This is a procedure that allows the importation of goods without the payment of customs duties and taxes, on condition that they are processed or incorporated into other goods that are then exported. Inward processing can enable the use of foreign materials or components for the production of export goods, and can also provide duty relief or drawback for the exporters.
• Outward processing: This is a procedure that allows the exportation of goods without the payment of customs duties and taxes, on condition that they are processed or incorporated into other goods that are then re-imported. Outward processing can enable the use of domestic materials or components for the production of import goods, and can also provide duty relief or drawback for the importers.
