International Transport: Keys for an Effective and Surprise-Free Shipment
Summary/Introduction
Are you thinking about exporting your products outside of Spain? International transport is one of the strategic keys for the growth of many companies, but it can also pose a challenge if not managed properly. From customs documents to choosing the mode of transport, there are numerous factors that can make the difference between a successful shipment and a problematic one.
In this article, we explain how we work at Transexport, S.A. to ensure that your goods cross borders without complications, and what aspects you should consider to ensure safe, fast, and effective international transport.
1. International Transport and Regulations: Know the Destination Before Sending
One of the main mistakes in international transport is not thoroughly understanding the regulations of the destination country. Each state has specific requirements that can vary depending on the type of product, trade agreements, health controls, or even climatic conditions.
At Transexport, we have a wide network of correspondents and international collaborators that allows us to facilitate the customs process, the issuance of documentation, and compliance with legal requirements such as:
- DUA (Single Administrative Document)
- PIF (Border Inspection Post)
- Phytosanitary certificates
- Packaging and labeling regulations
Thanks to our experience, we help avoid delays, unexpected costs, or even cargo blockages at the border.
2. International Transport by Land, Sea, or Air: What is the Ideal Mode?
One of the most relevant decisions in international transport is choosing the appropriate mode of transport. This choice depends on factors such as the urgency of the shipment, the type of goods, the destination, and the budget.
International Land Transport: The Most Versatile Option for Europe
Ideal for shipments within the European Union or neighboring countries. It is economical, fast, and flexible. At Transexport, we manage both groupage and full loads, allowing us to tailor each shipment to the client’s volume and urgency.
International Air Transport: Speed for Urgent and Perishable Goods
The best option when time is a key factor or when transporting perishable products such as flowers, plants, food, or pharmaceuticals.
We offer global coverage and work with specialized airlines to ensure compliance with deadlines and the maintenance of necessary conditions throughout the journey.
International Sea Transport: Efficiency for Large Volumes
Perfect for regular exports or large volumes. Through our agreements with international shipping companies, we manage FCL (full container load) and LCL (less than container load) shipments, providing advice on routes, times, and costs.
3. Full Load or Groupage: Customized Solutions for International Transport
Depending on the type of product and its volume, one can opt for international transport in full load (FTL) or groupage (LTL).
- Full Load: ideal for large volumes or products that require exclusive space, temperature, or handling.
- Groupage: an economical alternative that allows sharing space with other goods, reducing costs without losing reliability.
At Transexport, we advise you on the best logistics option for your business, always adapting to your real needs.
4. Traceability and security in international transport
One of the major concerns for companies is knowing where their cargo is at all times. In international transport, traceability not only provides peace of mind but also allows for anticipating incidents and improving operational efficiency.
