Incoterms conditions

Incoterms conditions

We advise on selecting the appropriate Incoterms conditions in sea freight, helping to match them to the specifics of the transaction, the type of cargo, and the transport route. We precisely define the scope of responsibilities of each party, the division of logistics costs, and the point at which risk transfers between the seller and the buyer.

FCL (Full Container Load)

FCL (Full Container Load)

Full container transport dedicated to a single shipper, where the entire container is used exclusively for one cargo. This solution is particularly effective for larger volumes, where efficient use of space and minimizing the number of handling operations are key.

LCL (Less than Container Load)

LCL (Less than Container Load)

Consolidation of smaller shipments into one container, allowing goods from different shippers to be transported within a single load unit. This solution enables efficient use of container space and significantly reduces transport costs for lower-volume cargo.

Intermodal transport

Intermodal transport

Transport executed using multiple modes within a single, integrated logistics chain, handled by trusted operators. Continuous coordination and tailored transshipment schedules enable efficient planning of deliveries and greater stability across the entire logistics process.

Cross-trade shipments

Cross-trade shipments

Organization of sea transport between third countries without involving ports in the sender’s or receiver’s country. In a cross-trade model, cargo is shipped directly between designated ports worldwide, while the entire logistics process is coordinated by an operator based in another country.

Frequently asked questions:

Is consolidation of cargo from different suppliers possible?

Yes. In sea freight, shipment consolidation is commonly used within LCL transport. It allows smaller cargo to be combined into one container, reducing transport costs and improving space efficiency.

What documents are required in sea freight?

The key document is the Bill of Lading, which confirms receipt of the cargo for transport and serves as a document of title. Depending on the route, additional documents may include a commercial invoice, packing list, certificates of origin, customs documents, and any required permits for special cargo.

What does the cost of sea freight depend on?

Sea freight costs depend on factors such as the route between ports, cargo size and weight, container type, current shipping line rates, and additional port and fuel surcharges. Incoterms conditions and extra services like inland transport or customs clearance also affect the final price.

What are the most common container types in sea freight?

The most commonly used are standard 20’ and 40’ containers, as well as High Cube containers with increased height. For special cargo, reefer containers, open top, or flat rack containers are also used.

Does Euro24 provide customs clearance?

As part of our sea freight services, we provide comprehensive import and export customs clearance. We handle full documentation preparation, including the commercial invoice, packing list, and Bill of Lading, as well as customs declarations and duty settlements. This ensures your cargo moves smoothly across borders without unnecessary delays.

Can I insure my cargo in sea freight?

We offer cargo insurance tailored to the type of goods and shipment value. We recommend applying it to every sea freight shipment.

What goods can be transported by sea?

Sea transport allows the shipment of nearly all types of cargo, including consumer goods, industrial products, machinery, raw materials, chemicals (with appropriate certifications), food (in refrigerated containers), construction materials, and oversized cargo (breakbulk or project cargo). Dangerous goods (IMO/IMDG) require specialized documentation and transport conditions, handled by our experts.

How can I get a sea freight quote?

Send an inquiry via the website form or contact our sea freight expert directly. To prepare an accurate quote, we need key details such as the place of loading and delivery, type of cargo (description, weight, volume or dimensions), required shipping date, and preferred transport mode (FCL or LCL).
