Do you import goods from China, Vietnam, or other countries in the Far East?
We support you with tailored logistics solutions — from pickup at the manufacturer to delivery to your warehouse in Germany.
Benefit from efficient transport planning, customs-compliant handling, and transparent communication throughout the entire supply chain.
Ocean freight is ideally suited for large quantities of goods or less time-critical shipments. Depending on your requirements, we offer both FCL (Full Container Load) for complete container loads and LCL (Less than Container Load) for smaller volumes, where multiple customers share a container.
Guideline values (As of 2025/2026, variable depending on season, excluding pre-carriage and onward carriage):
For particularly urgent or high-value shipments, air freight is the fastest and most secure solution. It enables optimal handling and full transparency throughout the entire transport process, especially for tight time windows or sensitive products.
Guideline values (As of 2025/2026, variable depending on season, excluding pre-carriage and onward carriage):
Rail transport combines the advantages of ocean and air freight: a significantly shorter transit time than by ship, but at more favorable conditions than by airplane. Rail shipments are ideal for medium-sized loads with predictable delivery schedules – efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly.
Guideline values (As of 2025/2026, variable depending on season, excluding pre-carriage and onward carriage):
We guide you through the entire import process — from selecting the appropriate transport solution to final delivery. We handle the complete customs clearance and all related formalities on your behalf, ensuring legally compliant processing.
In addition, we advise you on the optimal use of Incoterms® to clearly define responsibilities, risks, and cost allocation — tailored individually to your supplier relationships.
