Choosing the right mode for Europe
Air freight
For urgent, high-value and time-sensitive cargo, with onward road delivery from major European airports.
Ocean freight
FCL and LCL from Indian ports to European gateways, with onward road or rail to the consignee.
Multimodal
Sea plus road and rail, and air plus road combinations, for inland delivery across the continent.
Door delivery
Destination clearance and delivery arranged through our network, depending on terms and destination.
Preparing for the European market
Goods entering the EU must satisfy customs and product rules. Depending on the product, this can include CE marking, REACH obligations for chemicals, labelling and food-safety requirements. Importers generally need an EORI number, and VAT and duties are assessed on import. The United Kingdom has its own customs system and requirements, separate from the EU.
Importer-of-record and DDP arrangements affect who bears these responsibilities, so we review your terms before booking.
