Transport mediation
Transport that simply works
When it comes to imports and exports, things often go wrong during the handover. A container arriving late at an inspection point. A flight that doesn’t match the documentation. Or a shipment scheduled to depart while customs clearance is still pending.
Effective transport coordination prevents transport and customs from working at cross-purposes and ensures that shipments keep moving. Flevo Trade Service ensures that transport and clearance are always coordinated so that goods keep moving and the schedule remains realistic.
Transport and documentation
Transport can sometimes seem like a separate part of the process, but in practice it is inseparably linked 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 coordinates transport by sea, air, and road. This includes taking into account availability, scheduling, and the requirements that apply to the type of shipment. The goal is a logical and workable process in which transport and handling are properly aligned.
The choice of transport mode depends on the product, the destination, and the schedule.
- Sea freight often involves container transport with fixed sailing schedules and port handling. This requires coordination with shipping lines, inspection points, and transport providers.
- 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 are often caused by miscommunication or a lack of coordination between parties. That is why we work with regular carriers and clear agreements.
Transports are scheduled in consultation with customers and the parties involved, ensuring that loading times, inspections, and delivery times are coordinated. This approach prevents unnecessary waiting times and ensures a smooth process.
Our working process
At Flevo Trade Service, transport coordination is not a standalone 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 in a well-informed and practical way.
Determining the mode of transport
Based on the product, location, destination, and schedule, we determine which mode of transport is suitable and what requirements apply.
Schedule
Transport is booked with the right party. Loading times, inspections, and documentation are aligned.
Follow-up through to delivery
The shipment is monitored through to its final destination, in coordination with customs clearance and any required inspections.
Everything arranged for an error-free flow
