International Transport – Everything you need to know
What does international transport mean?
International transport refers to the movement of goods across national borders. This can involve various modes of transport, such as trucking, air freight, sea freight, or rail transport.
Full truck load (FTL) transport is one of the most popular options for transporting large quantities of goods quickly and efficiently. International transport requires detailed planning, as it involves various legal regulations, customs clearances, and logistical challenges.
Advantages of international transport
✅ Flexibility and reach: With international truck transport you can transport goods almost anywhere in the world quickly and cost-effectively.
✅ Full Truckload (FTL): With full truckloads, the entire loading space of a truck is used for your goods, which makes transport more efficient and often faster.
✅ Reliability: The use of modern vehicles ensures on-time delivery, even over long distances.
✅ Customs clearance: We take care of customs clearance in a well-organized manner so that the entire process runs smoothly.
Disadvantages of international transport
❌ Cost: International shipping can be expensive, especially for long distances and large shipments. Shipping full truck loads long distances by truck can be more expensive, as it requires crossing multiple countries and may incur additional fees.
❌ Time required: Despite fast truck transport, customs clearance and transport across different countries can take additional time.
❌ Complexity: International transport requires understanding and compliance with numerous regulations and laws, which makes logistics significantly more complex.

How much does international transport cost?
The costs for international truck transport depend on various factors:
