Transport mediation
Transport that simply works
In import and export, things often go wrong during the handover. A container arriving too late at an inspection point. A flight that does not align with the documentation. Or transport that has been scheduled while customs clearance has not yet been completed.
Good transport coordination prevents transport and customs from working against each other and keeps shipments moving. Flevo Trade Service ensures that transport and handling are always aligned, 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 handling. The chosen mode of transport determines when documents are needed, when inspections take place and how tight the planning needs to be.
Flevo Trade Service coordinates transport by sea, air and road. This includes looking at availability, planning and the requirements that apply to the type of shipment. The aim is a logical and workable process, where transport and handling are properly aligned.
The choice of transport mode depends on the product, the destination and the 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 from 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 clients and the parties involved, so loading times, inspections and delivery moments are aligned. This approach prevents unnecessary waiting times and creates calm in the process.
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
