Which Transport Mode to Choose for International Shipping?
International freight shipments often need to be carried out by road, but we also offer cargo delivery by train, airplane, or sea transport, such as ferry or container ship. By contacting one of LANGINO LOGISTICS' specialists, you will be able to find out the most suitable transport and its delivery time and costs.
Road transport
Road transport is a popular mode of transportation when the distance is not too great, as international freight can be carried out quickly, conveniently, and at an optimal price. We offer various types of vehicles and trailers, taking into account cargo specifics and dimensions. Each of our freight vehicles is equipped with tracking devices, so you can be confident that your international freight shipments will be completed within the agreed timeframes.
Air transport
In cases where express cargo deliveries need to be made over long distances, we offer air freight services. International freight by airplane is exclusive and with the highest level of security control. A huge advantage is the short delivery time, however, this comes with higher costs compared to, for example, sea transport or rail.
Sea transport
International freight to Asian countries is most often carried out by sea, specifically by container ships, thereby ensuring a more economical shipment. Sea transport can be used for cargo where delivery deadlines are not critical. For shorter freight routes, for example to and from Sweden or Norway, we offer freight by ferry, ensuring regular deliveries.
Rail transport
International freight transportation in Europe and to Asian countries is also possible by rail. This mode of transport is faster than sea freight deliveries, which is why clients often choose container trains over ships. LANGINO LOGISTICS also provides all necessary documentation, including customs declarations, permits, and licenses required for transporting dangerous goods (ADR) or oversized cargo.
Each of these transport modes provides certain advantages, however, the choice depends on the specific shipment conditions and needs.
What to consider when making international freight shipments?
Road freight, which can be both domestic and international, involves cargo transportation by road. To ensure a successful and efficient transportation process, there are several important things to consider:
Documentation
Prepare and submit all necessary documentation, including cargo waybills, transport contracts, and customs declarations. Ensure that all drivers have valid driving licenses and the vehicle is registered and insured. Customs declarations may be required when goods are transported to and from England, Norway, China, or America.
Vehicle selection
Depending on the cargo type, size, weight, and other factors, an appropriate vehicle must be selected. For each cargo type in international transport, it is necessary to use the delivery method that is safest for the cargo.
Cargo securing and fastening
To prevent damage to the vehicle and goods during freight transportation, cargo must be properly secured and fastened. Use specialized fastening devices, materials, and safety straps as needed.
Transport planning and coordination
Plan the route and transport time, taking into account current road conditions, traffic, and border formalities. Coordinate with other involved parties, such as carriers, customs, and logistics companies.
Temperature control
If the transported cargo requires a specific temperature regime, ensure that the vehicle is equipped with appropriate temperature control systems. Such shipments usually transport food products or medical supplies.
Insurance
If necessary, consider insuring the cargo against potential losses or damage during transport. This service is typically used when transporting high-value goods, artwork, various types of equipment, and fragile goods.
These are the main factors to consider when making international freight shipments. Observing these factors is important for a successful international freight shipment, ensuring goods and products are delivered in excellent condition, and of course - on time.
How Much Does International Freight Cost?
International freight transportation is possible in various ways. Taking into account the cargo type, volume, weight, as well as your budget and desired delivery timeline, our logistics specialists will select the most suitable delivery method for you. Here are just a few reasons to choose our services for international freight.
Cargo insurance
Every entrepreneur recognizes the value of their cargo being sent to the recipient, which is why it is important to prevent potential financial losses in advance that may arise from cargo damage for various reasons. Insured cargo is the most cost-effective way to protect yourself from losses, and this is especially relevant when delivering fragile, exclusive, and valuable cargo.

Customs procedures through LANGINO LOGISTICS are handled electronically, thereby saving your time, which you can dedicate to improving your business.
