Please in touch - we will be happy to help.Sea transportWe handle overseas transport with customs formalities. In sea freight less than container loads (LCL) refer to a consignment shipped in a sea container and unloaded in the port of destination. Full container loads (FCL) on the other hand are transported in full units from the loading place to their destination. SNcargo handles both LCL and FCL freights with customs formalities either to port or door-to-door, depending on the terms of delivery. In addition to the above-mentioned standard containers, flat racks, HC containers, open top containers and open side containers can also be used in shipments. Road transportWe arrange the transport of groupage, part loads and full loads from door to door in the above-mentioned countries provided the customs and traffic technical requirements can be met. We provide transport outside the EU with the necessary export clearance and transport from outside the EU with import clearance. We also handle the transport of very wide or very high loads as well as the transport of hazardous substances, the so-called IMO transport. Air transportOur global network of contacts specialized in airfreight helps us to transports your import and export shipments by air. The network of our cooperation partners cover more than 200 countries. We select the airline and route depending on the demands the client makes on the transport schedule. If the shipment is extremely urgent, we arrange a flight as direct as possible. In some cases, combined air and road transport is fast enough. An example of this is goods from the Far East arriving at Frankfurt by air and continuing to Helsinki in an airline truck.If the delivery term in import transport is EXW or FCA, we arrange transport from the shippers warehouse to the departure airport as well as customs clearance in cooperation with our local representative company specialized in airfreight.Rail transportSNcargo Ltd arranges rail transport from the following counties in the CIS group, the Caucasus and Central Asia: Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Georgia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Belarus and Russia.The strength of the railway lines and the minimal rolling resistance between the rail and the railway wheel enable the transport of heavy loads at high speed. Rail transport is considered a much eco-friendlier alternative than transport by road and a welcome way to reduce traffic congestion in highways. Apart from being an environmentally sound choice, rail transport is in certain circumstances a cost-efficient alternative to road and sea transport. However, rail transport is often less flexible than road transport, and it is usually not speedy and inexpensive enough to be used for transporting single consignments and part loads. On the other hand, when shipping full trailer loads (FTL) and full sea containers (FCL) as well as other heavy loads, rail transport may be a highly competitive alternative provided there is a rail connection. The same gauge in all the countries along the transport route facilitates rail transport considerably. Finland and the CIS countries share the same gauge, which provides good opportunities for rail transport. SNcargo also performs the following procedures involved in foreign transport: Export clearanceImport clearanceTariff classificationThe intrastate statisticsWe can also be of assistance when drawing up other import and export documents and meeting any legal requirements. We carry out any tasks in compliance with the rules and regulations of the General Conditions of the Nordic Association of Freight Forwarders (NSAB 2000).
