TRASKO offers an efficient logistics solution for importing small batches of goods — LTL (groupage) shipping from Europe. Consolidated shipping means cargo from several different clients is transported in the same vehicle at the same time.
We have been delivering LTL cargo from Europe for more than 30 years, building optimal routes while accounting for current restrictions. Our company was among the pioneers of the consolidated shipping system back in the late 1990s.
Sanctions compliance. We organize transport only for goods that are not subject to EU or international sanctions. EU Commission directives list categories of restricted goods by HS code with general descriptions, which often causes confusion for importers. We review every shipment on a case-by-case basis before booking — contact your account manager with your cargo details, and we will confirm whether it can be shipped and under which customs procedure.
Advantages of consolidated shipping
Combining cargo from different clients in one truck provides several key benefits:
- Cost savings — transport costs are shared between shippers
- Efficient use of space — optimal loading of the vehicle
- Route flexibility — the ability to choose the most efficient delivery paths
- Low minimum shipment volume — from 1 pallet or 1 m³
- Full-service support — complete customs clearance and documentation
LTL shipping from Europe allows even small companies to organize regular imports on favorable terms.
