    Transport cost savings are a major advantage in the process of importing/exporting and selling your goods.

    The most favourable ways of buying goods from suppliers overseas are based on a Delivery Term Door-to-Door or FOB Port of Loading in case of export a Delivery Term Door-to-Door or CIF Port of Discharge. Why?  There is an explanation:

    • In cooperation with your forwarding agent you are in control of your goods throughout the transport process
    • transport costs not reflected in the price of the goods (imports)
    • transport costs included in your selling price calculation (exports)
    • your forwarding agent enables you to monitor goods delivery deadlines
    • your forwarding agent can arrange for you favourable transport insurance
    • customs services available

LCL (Less Than Container Load) transports

 In co-operation with our agents we operate import groupage containers from overseas to the Czech Republic and export groupage containers as far as the countries of destination.

  • Consignment consolidation and transport to the Port of Loading
  • sea transport to the Port of Discharge
  • clearance at the Port of Discharge and transport to the delivery address
  • customs clearance
  • possibility of consolidating LCL consignments
  • door-to-door transport

The quantity of goods determines the choice of the container type:

– Full container transport (FCL) – 20FT container: 2.3 x 2.3 x 6 m /volume:  32 cbm

– Full container transport (FCL) – 40FT container: 2.3 x 2.3 x 12 m /volume: 67 cbm

– Full container transport (FCL) – 40HQ container: 2.3 x 2.7 x 12 m /volume: 76 cbm

– LCL transports – groupage containers  in case of smaller consignments (not enough for  a full container – optimal quantity around 18 cbm – depending on current market situation)
