Transport mediation
Transport that aligns with your customs process
We arrange sea freight, air freight and road transport. In advance, we coordinate the planning with your documents, any required inspections and customs clearance. This helps limit unnecessary waiting time and the risk of missed connections.
Mistakes that can directly disrupt your planning
You book a truck, container or flight while your customs documents are not yet complete. As a result, the transport is ready, but your shipment is not yet allowed to move on.
The inspection is moved to a later time and your shipment remains on hold. For refrigerated, fresh or time-sensitive goods, even a delay of a few hours can have significant consequences for your planning and costs.
The arrival time is not properly coordinated with the scheduled inspection. The driver arrives too late, the inspection point is already closed, or there is not enough time available to carry out the inspection.

You choose sea freight, air freight or road transport without sufficiently taking into account the product, destination, required documents and available time.
Your planning turns out to be unworkable, or you face additional requirements that were not taken into account in advance. As a result, the transport has to be adjusted, rebooked or partially reorganised.

Your driver may have to wait, a container may miss its connection, or your goods may arrive before the recipient is ready. A single miscommunication can delay several parts of the process at once.
Transport that simply works
With imports and exports, things often go wrong during the handover between different stages. A container may arrive too late at an inspection point. A flight may not align with the documentation. Or transport may already be scheduled while customs clearance has not yet been completed.
Good transport brokerage prevents transport and customs from working against each other and helps keep shipments moving. Flevo Trade Service ensures that transport and customs clearance are always coordinated, so goods keep moving and the planning remains realistic.
Transport and documentation
Transport may sometimes seem like a separate part of the process, but in practice it is closely connected to customs clearance. The chosen mode of transport determines when documents are required, when inspections take place and how tight the planning needs to be.
Flevo Trade Service arranges transport by sea, air and road. We take into account availability, planning and the requirements that apply to the type of shipment. The aim is to create a logical and workable process in which transport and customs clearance are properly aligned.
The choice of transport mode depends on the product, destination and planning.
- For sea freight, this often involves container transport with fixed sailing schedules and port handling. This requires coordination with shipping lines, inspection points and transport companies.
- Air freight requires speed and precise planning, with documentation and screening completed on time.
- Road transport is used for the inbound and outbound movement of goods, for example to and from ports, airports or inspection points.
Reliable coordination
In practice, delays often arise due to miscommunication or a lack of coordination between the parties involved. That is why we work with regular carriers and clear agreements.
Transport is scheduled in consultation with customers and the parties involved, so that loading times, inspections and delivery times are properly aligned. This approach helps prevent unnecessary waiting times and keeps the process under control.
Our work process
For us, transport coordination is not a separate service. It is part of the full import and export process. Because we also handle customs clearance and documentation, we can align planning and execution properly.
Determining the transport mode
Based on the product, location, destination and planning, we determine which transport mode is suitable and which requirements apply.
Scheduling
Transport is booked with the right party. Loading times, inspections and documentation are aligned.
Follow-up until delivery
The transport is monitored through to the final destination, in alignment with customs handling and any inspections.
Everything arranged for an error-free flow
