Logistics

Built around your destination port

We do not run a fixed lane into one European port and ask you to collect from there. Carrier and routing are negotiated per shipment, against your port and the rates on the day.

Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp and others are all routine. If you already have a preferred port and a broker there, that is an advantage on your side we would rather use than override.

How a shipment runs

Five steps, four weeks

  1. 01

    Specification and quote

    You send a specification sheet and a target tonnage. We come back inside two business days with a price, a current spec extract, and a proposed routing to your destination port.

  2. 02

    Order confirmation

    The point at which the container is committed to you and the four-week clock starts. Carrier booking, insurance and origin handling begin here.

  3. 03

    Origin handling and loading

    Material is filled, palletised and stuffed at origin. Documentation is prepared against your destination's import requirements, not a generic set.

  4. 04

    Sea freight

    Carrier and routing are negotiated per shipment against current rates and schedules, then confirmed to you with the bill of lading.

  5. 05

    Arrival at destination

    The container reaches your named port (CIF) or address (DAP) with the full document set, ready for your customs broker and your incoming-goods inspection.

CIF or DAP — where the handover sits

The difference is not price, it is who runs the destination leg and where risk transfers. Both are quoted on request; pick whichever matches how your import operation already works.

CIF

Cost, Insurance and Freight

to named port of destination

We cover

  • Export clearance at origin
  • Ocean freight to your named port
  • Marine cargo insurance for the voyage

You cover

  • Import clearance and duties
  • Terminal handling at destination
  • Onward carriage from the port to your plant

Risk passes when the goods are loaded on board at origin, even though we carry the freight and insurance cost. Standard for buyers who already have a customs broker and inland haulage.

DAP

Delivered at Place

to named address you specify

We cover

  • Export clearance at origin
  • Ocean freight and destination terminal handling
  • Inland carriage to the address you name

You cover

  • Import clearance and duties
  • Unloading at your site

Risk stays with us until the container is at your named place, ready for unloading. The simpler option if you would rather not run the import leg yourself.

Documentation

What travels with the container

Issued with every shipment

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Bill of lading
  • Certificate of origin

On request

  • Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (ISO 17025 laboratory)
  • Safety data sheet
  • Phytosanitary certificate, where the destination requires one

Tell us your destination and industry with the enquiry — import requirements differ, and the document set is built against yours rather than a template.

Larger volumes and standing schedules

Multi-container orders, recurring quarterly schedules and non-standard routing are structured case by case. Bring the annual tonnage and the delivery rhythm you need and we will quote against it.
