International cargo transportation opens up new opportunities for businesses. Efficient logistics ensures stable supply chains, expands market reach, and fosters intercontinental partnerships.
Kinds of International Cargo
Industrial Goods and Equipment
ETS specializes in transporting oversized cargo and industrial equipment that require special packaging and securing methods. Platforms are used for non-standard items, along with crane equipment for loading and unloading.
Agricultural Products and Food
Transporting agricultural products, including frozen semi-finished goods, vegetables, and fruits, requires temperature control. Refrigerated containers are used, and logistics are planned according to product shelf life.
Consolidated Cargo
Consolidating small shipments reduces international transportation costs and increases logistical flexibility. Our specialists ensure safe storage at intermediary warehouses during transport.
Main Types of International Transportation
Sea Freight
Sea transport is an ideal choice for large shipments. Container logistics enables cost-effective delivery, although the delivery time for such shipments is somewhat longer. Standard and refrigerated containers, as well as ISO high-capacity containers, are commonly used for international freight transportation.
Air Freight
Air transport ensures rapid delivery of urgent cargo — within one to four days. This option is suitable for transporting valuable or volume-restricted goods. International freight by air is especially popular for time-sensitive shipments.
Road Freight
Road transport is a versatile solution for deliveries over short and medium distances. It offers route flexibility and real-time tracking of the truck’s location. The cost of international road freight depends on the distance and specific freight characteristics.
Multimodal Transport
Combining several modes of transport, such as road and sea, optimizes logistics for complex routes. This approach is convenient for deliveries to regions with limited direct transport access. Freight rates for international shipments are a crucial factor in choosing a multimodal solution.
Customs Clearance for International Transport
Key Documents for Customs Clearance
Properly prepared documents are crucial for smooth customs procedures:
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Transport documents (CMR, bill of lading, airway bill)
- Certificates of conformity (if required)
Customs Regulations by Region
- Europe: Simplified within the EU, facilitating the flow of goods.
- Asia: Emphasis on product certification, especially for food items.
- North America: Requires advance import notification.
- Africa: May need specific invoices and certificates of origin.
Customs clearance costs depend on complexity and cargo specifics.
