CNC machining centers, presses, milling and lathe machines, feeder modules, measuring equipment, and precision tools, both single-machine shipments and full production line relocations. Import from Switzerland (Basel, Zurich), Germany (Berlin, Stuttgart), Italy (Turin, Milan) and export from Latvia to any EU country or third-country destination.
Precision metalworking equipment cannot tolerate center-of-gravity deviation or vibration in transit. A 22-tonne CNC milling machine from Switzerland was transported on a low-loader with full air-ride suspension, bolted to the trailer at manufacturer-specified anchor points. The route Basel to Berlin to Warsaw to Riga was planned selecting smooth road surfaces to minimize vibration exposure. At destination, a 50-tonne mobile crane was required because the factory entrance was too narrow for a forklift. This is the standard approach for heavy, high-value machines.
Switzerland is outside the EU customs territory, so imports require full export and import procedures. Swiss export clearance takes place at the border (typically Basel); import declaration is filed at the first EU entry point in Germany. Standard document set: CMR, commercial invoice, packing list, EX declaration, T1 for transit legs, EUR.1 when a preferential tariff applies. For Germany and Italy as EU member states, the customs process is simpler, but document accuracy requirements remain equally high.
Heavy machines above 5 tonnes typically require specialized transport: low-loader, beam trailer, or extendable semi-trailer. Securing uses wire lashings and anti-tipping blocks at manufacturer-defined anchor points. Lighter equipment up to 5 tonnes can travel FTL in a curtainsider with a well-designed packaging and securing plan. Photo documentation with the machine present is mandatory before departure.

Precision equipment cannot tolerate vibration that damages linear guides, spindles, or guideway rails. Air-ride suspension absorbs road shock and oscillation during the transit.
