Our company carries out international transportation of goods. We would like to talk about their features and subtleties so that customers have an idea of how they differ from the usual transportation of something within the country.

Main differences

First of all, in international transportation, there is a border crossing, which means that you need to know the legislation not only of the country from which you are exporting something, but also of the one where you are taking it. Some countries may have certain sanctions or prohibitions. For example, one product in one country can be freely sold, and in another it can be prohibited for import and even circulation within the state. This must be taken into account if you do not want problems with the law.

The second difficulty also concerns customs clearance. Even if you are carrying a permitted product, it must be correctly declared, and the declaration must be submitted in a timely manner. The more competently the documents are drawn up, the less time the cargo will stay at customs. Every day of his stay in the customs warehouse is an additional cost for the entrepreneur, so it is advisable to contact a company that deals not only with the transportation of goods, but also with legal support. There may be disputes with customs that are resolved through the courts, so the entrepreneur needs the help of an experienced lawyer who is able to win the case not only on Ukrainian territory, but also abroad.

Border Crossing

The more borders the cargo crosses, the more difficult it is. Main subtleties:

  • If you use aviation, then the goods will be inspected only when sending and receiving, most of the borders that will meet on land, the goods will cross in the air. This makes shipping much easier, although the price is usually higher due to the mode of transport.
  • Land transportation is cheaper, but it is worth remembering that the customs of each state through which the truck passes through the border has the right to inspect its contents. Sometimes this can extremely slow down the delivery, not to mention the fact that the entrepreneur is worried about such procedures.
  • Multimodal transportation can combine reasonable cost with efficiency if the route is properly designed.

There are ways to minimize the risk of cargo screening. Our specialists know all the secrets of how to legally and correctly draw up a declaration so that the risks fall out the least. We are ready to share our knowledge with you, as well as to ensure fast and trouble-free delivery of goods from anywhere in the world.
