International Transportation

International transportation refers to the movement of goods and cargo across the borders of different countries. This process involves organization, planning and delivery while considering customs procedures, international agreements and standards.

Every detail is meticulously handled to ensure clients receive their products on time. European Transport Systems undertakes significant efforts across several key stages:

1. Planning and Assessment: ETS specialists conduct a detailed analysis of the client’s needs, determining the optimal route and mode of transport.
2. Packing and Cargo Preparation: Goods are packed in accordance with international standards and all necessary accompanying documents, waybills and permits are prepared. Customs regulations of the destination or origin country are carefully considered.
3. Insurance and Monitoring: Cargo is insured for its full value against risks such as damage, theft, accidents or customs delays. Monitoring systems are implemented to track cargo along the route.
4. Transportation: Transportation methods are chosen based on the type of goods, technical requirements and safety standards.
5. Delivery and Unloading: Cargo is delivered on time to its destination, ensuring proper unloading and transfer to the client.

Types of Freight Transportation

Road Transport: International freight transport by road is one of the most common methods, particularly within Europe, due to its speed and efficiency.

Rail Transport: Known for its capacity, rail transport handles heavy and long cargo using high-capacity wagons.

Air Transport: The primary advantage of air freight is speed, reducing delivery time from days to hours. Ideal for general, valuable, perishable, heavy, oversized and live cargo.

Sea Transport: Suitable for long-distance delivery using ships. Containers are securely loaded, fixed, and monitored to prevent shifting during transit.

How to Calculate Freight Costs

The cost of international freight depends on several factors — distance, type of goods, deadlines, demand for specific routes — and is calculated individually. Prices vary due to transportation queues, demand and external conditions. Rate updates and driver availability also influence the final cost.

ETS employs a variety of vehicles for international freight transportation, including:

• Tarpaulin and all-metal trucks: From 20 to 120 cubic meters.
• Refrigerated and isothermal vehicles: For goods requiring specific temperatures, such as food or medical products.
• Small-tonnage vehicles: For small shipments.
• Specialized vehicles for hazardous goods: Equipped with ADR kits and safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, protective blankets, spill containment materials, antidotes, first-aid kits and protective gear.
