How we work

Start with clear facts. Finish with an executable plan.

Common gateways

Typical gateways include Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Frankfurt and Duisburg, with onward delivery across Germany.

Documents and customs

EU product conformity, EORI, customs value and VAT responsibilities need clear ownership before shipment.

Price and transit-time factors

Season, capacity, fuel, route, equipment, cargo density, customs readiness and final-mile conditions all affect the final plan. Every schedule and price must be reconfirmed before booking.

Suitable cargo and limitations

General cargo can usually follow standard processes. Batteries, dangerous goods, regulated products, oversized cargo and temperature-sensitive goods require separate acceptance and compliance review.
