International transport without excess dimensions – plannable through our network
Not every consignment heading for Turkey or Central Asia is a heavy haulage job. For standard cargo – palletised goods, machine parts in crates, building materials, plant accessories – Oversize Transports organises international transport as a full load (FTL), part load or groupage through an established partner network. You benefit from the same well-run lanes we use for our heavy lift projects: EU-wide as well as to Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Scope of services
- Full loads (FTL): the entire loading space for your goods – no transhipment, direct from consignor to consignee.
- Part loads and groupage: on our corridors we consolidate consignments within the network; you pay only for the loading space your goods occupy.
- Customs clearance: export and transit papers, T1 transit procedure, TIR Carnet for third-country traffic – prepared before the truck reaches the border.
- Documentation: CMR consignment note, certificates of origin and country-specific accompanying documents, matched to the destination country.
- Scheduling: realistic transit times including border clearance, rather than driving times massaged to look good.
How your international transport runs
1. Enquiry and route planning
You tell us the cargo, the collection and delivery points and your preferred date. We check the lane, the loading space available in the network and the customs requirements of the destination country, and give you a concrete quotation with a transit time.
2. Documents and customs preparation
Before departure we make sure all papers are complete – from the CMR through the commercial invoice and packing list to the T1 or TIR Carnet. Missing or incorrect documents are the most common cause of waiting time at third-country borders; that is exactly what we head off in advance.
3. Transport with a dedicated contact
While the goods are on the road we keep you updated on border crossings and delivery. If you have questions you can reach us around the clock – even when the consignment happens to be between two time zones.
Typical consignments
This service mainly handles consignments from industry and trade: palletised series goods and spare parts, machine accessories and tools in crates, building materials and sections for project sites, equipment and consumables following on behind a heavy lift project that has already been delivered. That last case is a frequent one: the plant has reached the destination by heavy haulage, but accessories, spare parts packages and installation material have to be reliably supplied over a period of months – and recurring groupage on our corridors is the most economical solution for exactly that.
Lanes: EU, Turkey, Caucasus, Central Asia
Within the EU we run without customs formalities and with short transit times. To Turkey and onwards into the Caucasus and Central Asia we use established routes via the Middle Corridor (Turkey – Georgia – Caspian Sea), which avoids Russia and Belarus entirely and therefore remains free of sanctions constraints. Which goods are permissible in each destination country is something we check per consignment as part of the customs preparation.
When this service is the right one – and when it is not
International transport through the network is the right choice when your cargo stays within the usual dimensions and weights and should travel economically rather than as fast as possible. If the consignment exceeds the permissible dimensions or gross weight, it becomes a permit-liable international heavy haulage movement with project planning of its own. And when it is a matter of hours rather than days, a dedicated transport with its own vehicle is the better solution. In all three cases you get an honest recommendation from us as to which route is the most economical for your consignment – depending on route, weight and time pressure.
