Import and export services – FAQs
Which Incoterm should I use as a new importer?
FOB is common: the supplier delivers to the port in their country and we handle freight, insurance and clearance. EXW gives you more control but needs pickup abroad.
Can you help with exports to Europe under GSP+?
Yes, we prepare the shipping documents and guide you on the REX statement of origin that EU buyers need for GSP+ duty benefits.
Do you handle small first shipments?
Yes – LCL sea freight and air cargo are ideal for samples and first orders.
