No more coordinating multiple companies at the same time — forwarders, carriers, and customs agents. You have one point of contact and one person responsible for the entire shipment from A to Z.
02
Full legal and financial security
We know international regulations, so your cargo will not be stopped at the border. We handle insurance and ensure your goods are fully protected. We don’t “try” to avoid problems – we build processes that prevent them from happening.

Full transparency
All cost components are communicated upfront, including options for faster versus more cost-efficient solutions, with clear settlement rules. This means no unexpected surcharges after the fact, and your total cost of ownership (TCO) always remains under control.

Why choose us
The market is unpredictable. Working with us is not. Our process is your guarantee of control and peace of mind. Here’s how it works.
Step 1
Understanding your needs
We start with a conversation – to understand exactly what you want to transport, where it’s going, and under what conditions. We ask the right questions to capture all critical details. Only then can we design a solution that truly fits your requirements. This conversation allows us to protect your most important interests from the very beginning.
Step 2
Selecting the optimal transport option
A dedicated sales specialist – experienced in the specific route and transport mode (familiar with local regulations, required documentation, and trusted partners at destination ports) – analyses available options, contacts agents, and prepares an offer that includes any special conditions needed to protect both your cargo and your budget.
Step 3
Reviewing and finalising the details
We present the offer and discuss it together. We explain all cost components – including any additional charges – as well as the full course of the operation. We want you to know exactly what will happen and how. Together, we refine the strategy and make adjustments until you are fully confident that every detail is secured.
Step 4
Execution
Once approved, the order is handed over to our operations team. They coordinate the shipment at every stage – from setting the loading location and schedule, through customs clearance, to final delivery. You stay at ease while we stay in control, with clear responsibility and no handovers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required for export customs clearance?
For export customs clearance, a commercial invoice is required, including:
- seller and consignee details,
- description of the goods, number of units or packages, gross and net weight,
- goods value and currency,
- delivery terms according to Incoterms,
- invoice number and issue date.
A packing list (optional) is required if the above information is not included on the invoice.
Additional documents may be required depending on the type of goods, such as:
- manufacturer’s declaration,
- EUR.1 movement certificate,
- phytosanitary or veterinary certificate, if applicable.
What documents are required for import customs clearance?
For effective import customs clearance, the following documents are required:
- commercial invoice with translation and a detailed description of the goods,
- packing list with quantities and weights consistent with the bill of lading or transport document,
- copy of the ocean bill of lading (B/L) or another transport document,
- certificate of origin or FORM A, if preferential customs duties apply,
- original T1 document, if the goods were transported under transit procedure,
- CE certificate – required for the import of electronic or electrical equipment,
- documents confirming transport costs – particularly under FOB or EXW delivery terms,
- fumigation certificate – for wooden packaging (e.g. pallets, crates),
- WIOR authorisation – for goods of plant origin,
- other specialist documents, such as test reports, licences, or permits, especially for branded goods (e.g. IBM, Apple).
What is a Bill of Lading (B/L)?
A Bill of Lading (B/L) is a maritime transport document confirming that goods have been loaded onto a vessel. The holder of the document is entitled to collect the cargo at the port of destination. It is a document of title that:
- confirms the conclusion of a contract of carriage,
- serves as a basis for the transfer of ownership of the goods,
- may be transferred to other parties and bought or sold in commercial transactions,
- plays a key role in international maritime trade.
What does door-to-door transport mean?
Door-to-door transport is a comprehensive freight forwarding service “from A to Z”. We organise the entire process — from collecting the goods directly from the shipper to delivering them to the consignee. Without unnecessary intermediaries, delays, or stress. The service includes transport, documentation, and all required formalities.
Can I ship smaller quantities of goods (e.g. less than a full container)?
Yes. We also offer less-than-container load (LCL) shipments, allowing you to transport smaller cargo volumes without booking an entire container. This cost-efficient solution lets you share container space with other shippers and pay only for the space you actually use. LCL transport is ideal for companies that:
- are starting import or export operations,
- ship irregularly or in small volumes,
- want to test new markets without large investments,
- do not require a full container but expect complete logistics support.
Can sea transport be combined with other transport modes?
Of course. We provide intermodal transport services combining sea freight with road or rail transport – all under a single transport contract. This allows us to reduce transit times, optimise costs, and maintain full control over every stage of the shipment.
Thanks to our integrated processes, we:
- shorten delivery times,
- optimise costs across the entire route,
- maintain full control at every transport stage.
Learn more in the Intermodal Transport section or contact us directly via the contact form – we will find a solution tailored to your needs.
What abbreviations are commonly used in the TSL industry?
ETD (Estimated Time of Departure) – estimated vessel departure date
ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) – estimated arrival at the port
POL (Port of Loading) – port of loading
POD (Port of Discharge) – port of discharge
HS Code – customs tariff code
1 TEU – 0 20-foot container (approx. 11 Euro pallets)
2 TEU – 40-foot container (approx. 24 Euro pallets)
How do Incoterms affect the allocation of costs and responsibilities?
Incoterms are a set of international rules that clearly define who bears costs and responsibility at each stage of transport in international transactions. They specify, among other things, who organises transport, who is responsible for loading, insurance, customs clearance, and delivery to the destination.
Thanks to Incoterms, each party knows exactly where the seller’s responsibility ends and the buyer’s responsibility begins – and vice versa.
Below is a brief explanation of the most commonly used Incoterms, from the most cost-efficient for the seller to full logistics responsibility on their side:
- EXW (Ex Works): Goods made available at the seller’s premises – all further responsibility lies with the importer
- FCA (Free Carrier): Seller covers costs until handover to the first carrier
- FAS (Free Alongside Ship): Goods delivered to the port, without loading
- FOB (Free On Board): Exporter covers costs until goods are loaded onto the vessel
- CFR (Cost and Freight): Seller pays for transport, but risk transfers to the buyer upon loading
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): As CFR, with insurance provided by the exporter
- CPT (Carriage Paid To): Carriage paid to the named place
- CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To): Transport and insurance paid to the destination
- DAP (Delivered At Place): Delivery to destination – customs duties and clearance on the importer’s side
- DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded): Delivery to destination including unloading
- DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Exporter covers all costs – the consignee has no further obligations
Key routes:
