We arrange inland haulage to the European loading port and final delivery of the container to your consignee in the USA.
How container export to the USA works
We run the whole process on your behalf — from booking vessel space to delivering the container in the USA.
- 1
Quote and booking
Tell us your European loading port, US destination port, and cargo type. We prepare a quote and book vessel space — usually within 1–2 business days.
- 2
Pickup and loading
We collect your cargo or receive it at the port, then pack and secure the container to ocean-export standards.
- 3
Documentation and ocean transit
We prepare the full document set (B/L, ISF, AES/EEI). The container sails to your chosen US port — typically 2–5 weeks depending on the route.
- 4
Clearance and delivery in the USA
We handle the US-side clearance and arrange delivery of the container to your consignee's address.
Frequently asked questions
