Why choose international LCL / LTL transportation
LCL / LTL is a tool for importers who do not want to overpay for a full container or truck. Here is what makes this service work.
Pay for the volume actually used, not for a container
The cost is calculated on actuals: how many cubic meters or kilograms your cargo occupied. No need to wait until a full container or truck load is assembled. No overpaying for empty space. Order 2 pallets — pay for 2 pallets.
Consolidation warehouses in China, Europe, Turkey, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Belarus
Experienced local specialists pick up the cargo from the supplier, check quantity, quality, documents, and packaging, and arrange loading and consolidation. The first mile under control — no need to look for a separate agent.
Customs clearance within a single service loop
Customs representatives prepare the declaration, calculate duties and VAT, and support the release of goods. No need to look for a separate customs representative. Customs clearance and delivery — within a single service loop.

Cases we solve
International LCL / LTL transportation solves the tasks of importers who do not need a full container. Below are typical scenarios.
Trial batch of a new product
An importer tests a new product on the Russian market. Orders 500 kg — 2 pallets. A full container is not needed. LCL — the cargo is consolidated with other batches, dispatched from the warehouse in Nhava Sheva, clears customs, and is deconsolidated in Moscow. Result: minimal testing costs.
Supplies from different suppliers in one container
An importer orders goods from 5 different suppliers in China. Each is a small batch. The goods are consolidated at our own warehouse in Shanghai and dispatched in one container. Result: one shipment instead of five, logistics savings.
Regular supplies of small batches
A cosmetics distributor orders a 1–2 cubic meter batch twice a month. LCL — a fixed schedule, consolidation in Istanbul or Busan, dispatch, customs, deconsolidation in Moscow. Result: predictable timelines, payment for the actual volume.
