Logistics Ukraine – Europe

The vast possibilities of remote interaction open up good prospects for companies. This will make it possible to enter the European or American market: international freight transport allows businesses from different countries to actively exchange goods, raw materials, equipment or other product categories. There are several ways to organize delivery from Ukraine to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the USA or in the opposite direction.

Sea freight

One of the most extensive and cost-effective methods of transporting goods. It includes container shipping, which allows goods to be packed in standardized containers, making loading and unloading easier, and facilitating subsequent changeover between different modes of transport.

Air freight

Relevant for expensive goods in relatively small consignments that need to be delivered urgently to the recipient. This is the fastest way to fulfil the delivery. The disadvantages of this method include high cost, as well as relatively limited cargo capacity.

Rail transport

A good option to quickly fulfil international freight shipments, especially within Europe. Compared to air freight, this format wins in terms of cargo capacity and price. And the developed railway network allows you to choose different destinations.

Trucking

Reliable lorries are perfect for short, medium or long distance journeys. They are optimal due to their flexibility in planning logistical routes and also offer the possibility of door-to-door delivery. They are a popular solution for transporting products of different volumes, weights and formats.

Intermodal transport

The variety of ways in which products can be transported allows different methods to be combined to optimize time and cost. By carrying out international transport in stages, different options can be combined to speed up the arrival of goods to the recipient: this format can be very efficient and, most importantly, profitable.

A comprehensive approach is important to ensure that your cargo arrives on time from point of origin to destination. An experienced team will provide clients with a wide range of services, including:

• Customs clearance of the cargo - processing of documentation, as well as payment of duties or taxes, ensuring compliance with the rules in each country. This ensures that there will be no difficulties or delays in crossing the border, and customs clearance will take place as quickly as possible.

A professional approach is a guarantee of safety of transported goods, and international delivery will be completed on time.

Criteria for a reliable international transport operator

In this industry, there are hundreds of companies and individuals who often dump the market with too low prices. But excessive savings are not advisable: it is important to cooperate only with professionals who are able to ensure accurate compliance with the stated timeframe, as well as the safety of delivered goods.

How is the price for international freight transport formed?

A separate calculation will be made for each shipment, according to the approved price list. The price for international freight transport depends on a number of factors, among which are:

• Distance. The distance between the point of departure and destination - and the greater the kilometrage, the longer the car will be on the trip, and accordingly increases and fuel consumption and associated costs. To save money, logisticians optimize the route by choosing the shortest way to reach the destination.
   
• Type of vehicle. Different types of delivery are available: road, sea, air, railway. The choice depends on the nature of the cargo, delivery time and the size of the allocated budget.
   
• Specifics of the transported products. An international transport company transports different types of goods: large and heavy goods require additional costs, perishable goods require the use of a refrigerator, dangerous goods require special protective systems and appropriate labelling.
   
• Additional payments. The total amount will be affected by customs duties and taxes, as well as the cost of brokerage services. The price will also include insurance, which directly depends on the characteristics of the cargo.

Cost formation is a complex process. Calculations are based on the assessment and analysis of distance, nature of the shipment, and customer requirements. After agreeing on all the conditions, managers will make the necessary calculations and announce the preliminary price of the required international transport service.

How to place an order?

In order for the machine to be sent on route without delays, the customer needs to provide detailed information about the goods to be sent and the specifics of the request. A step-by-step guide will help to quickly approve the details and make the order on really favourable terms:

• A detailed description of the shipment. This includes the nature of the shipment, its volume, weight, temperature requirements, and additional important characteristics that may affect the choice of transport vehicle.
   
• Agreement of the start and end point of the route. Based on this, the total kilometrage of the future route will be calculated, on which the preliminary cost calculation directly depends. The more accurate the data, the less the level of error in calculating the total amount.
   
• Signing the contract. A good international transport company works only on the basis of an official contract, which details all the rights and obligations of the parties, as well as fixed cost, delivery terms, terms of insurance and additional services.
   
• Preparation of documents. To start co-operation you should provide available invoices, consignment notes, invoices, customs declarations or other papers, or entrust their completion to qualified managers.
   
• Payment for services. Payments must be made on time and in full, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the formal contract.
