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)
