How do I determine which shipping method is best for my goods?
The optimal shipping method depends on factors like urgency, budget, shipment size, and destination. Air freight is faster but more expensive, while ocean freight is more economical for larger shipments without tight deadlines. Our comprehensive shipping guide provides detailed comparisons, or contact us for a personalized recommendation.
What documents are required for international shipping?
Essential documents typically include a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading/airway bill, certificate of origin, and customs declaration forms. Specific requirements vary by country and product type. Our Customs Documentation Checklist provides a comprehensive overview of requirements for major markets.
How can I track my shipment?

What are Incoterms and why are they important?
Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are standardized terms that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international transactions. They specify who arranges and pays for shipping, insurance, and customs clearance, and who bears the risk during transportation. Understanding Incoterms is crucial for clear agreements and avoiding unexpected costs.
