Questions.

You can submit a quotation enquiry through the E-TRANS NV Request a Quote page. Include your cargo description, collection location, destination, package quantity, dimensions, total weight and preferred shipping dates. These details help clarify the appropriate transportation arrangements and pricing requirements.

Provide the type of goods, quantity, packaging method, dimensions, gross weight, origin, destination and preferred transport dates. You should also disclose fragile cargo, hazardous materials, temperature requirements, unusual dimensions and any applicable commercial terms or documentation.

Freight rates depend on several factors, including the transport mode, origin, destination, cargo weight, dimensions, shipment volume, equipment requirements, route and service schedule. Additional charges may apply for customs services, handling, insurance, storage or final delivery. Always review what is included in the quotation.

The best method depends on your cargo, destination, budget and delivery priorities. Road freight is useful for many regional and cross-border movements. Air freight may be suitable for time-sensitive cargo, while ocean freight is commonly used for international containerised shipments. Consult our Shipping Guide for further information.

Yes. You can submit international shipping enquiries for assessment. The available options depend on the countries involved, cargo type, carrier routes, equipment availability and applicable import or export regulations. Contact the company to confirm whether your requested destination can be served.

Door-to-door freight arrangements may be available for suitable shipments. They can involve collection from the sender's premises and delivery to the receiving address, subject to vehicle access, local regulations, service coverage and agreed transport terms. Confirm collection and final delivery charges before booking.

Urgent freight enquiries can be submitted with your required collection and delivery dates. Priority arrangements depend on cargo suitability, carrier capacity, transport schedules and route availability. Expedited transport may involve additional charges, and delivery times must be confirmed individually.

Road freight involves transporting goods using trucks and other suitable road vehicles. It is commonly used to move commercial shipments between warehouses, manufacturers, distribution centres and delivery destinations. Different vehicle configurations can accommodate different cargo types. Learn more on our Road Freight page.

Full Truckload (FTL) transportation generally provides dedicated truck capacity for a shipment. Less Than Truckload (LTL) transportation allows smaller compatible consignments to share vehicle capacity. The more suitable option depends on shipment size, weight, route, cost and delivery needs.

Air freight may be suitable for urgent, high-value or time-sensitive cargo where quicker transit is a priority. Costs are commonly higher than ocean freight, and shipments must meet airline restrictions, packaging standards and cargo acceptance requirements. See our Air Freight information page.

Ocean freight is commonly considered for international cargo movements, larger commercial consignments and containerised shipments. It can offer cost advantages for suitable volumes but often requires longer transit times and additional port handling. Explore our Ocean Freight page for more details.

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping provides exclusive container capacity for one shipper. Less Than Container Load (LCL) enables smaller compatible consignments to share container capacity. FCL is often appropriate for larger cargo volumes, while LCL can be practical for smaller shipments. Visit our Container Shipping page for further information.

Suitable temperature-sensitive cargo may require refrigerated vehicles or containers capable of maintaining specified conditions. Requirements vary by product and may include temperature monitoring, specialised handling or regulatory controls. Any arrangement requires confirmation of suitable equipment and service availability. Learn more about Temperature-Controlled Transport.

Specialised cargo may require flatbed trailers, open-top containers, flat-rack equipment, lifting services or other arrangements. Feasibility depends on cargo dimensions, weight, loading requirements, permits, route restrictions and equipment availability. Submit detailed cargo specifications for assessment.

Depending on the goods, transport method and countries involved, documentation may include a commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, customs declaration, certificate of origin and any necessary import or export permits. Requirements should be confirmed for each shipment.

Customs clearance is not automatically included in every freight quotation. Where available, customs assistance may be arranged through an appropriately authorised representative. Always confirm the exact services, responsibilities and additional charges included in your booking.

The party responsible depends on applicable customs law and the agreed commercial and shipping terms. Import duties, VAT and other charges may be separate from freight transportation costs. The seller and buyer should clearly establish their responsibilities before the shipment begins.

Incoterms are internationally recognised commercial rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce. They define certain delivery obligations, costs and transfer-of-risk points between buyers and sellers. Common examples include EXW, FCA, CIF and DDP. The chosen rule and named place should be specified in the sales contract.

An HS code is a commodity classification code based on the Harmonized System. Customs authorities use product classification to determine applicable tariffs, restrictions, reporting requirements and other customs treatment. The correct classification depends on the goods and the destination's tariff system.

An Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number is used to identify economic operators in EU customs procedures. Businesses involved in customs activities may need an EORI number, depending on their role and the transaction. Check the relevant customs requirements before shipping.

Certain dangerous goods may be transported only under specific regulations, documentation and packaging requirements, while some goods are prohibited. Acceptance depends on the transport mode, applicable regulations, operator approval and equipment availability. All dangerous or restricted cargo must be accurately declared before booking.

Tracking availability depends on the transportation service and the systems used for the shipment. Where online tracking is available, you may be able to check progress using a reference number through the Track Shipment page. Otherwise, contact the relevant shipping representative for available status information.

When a tracking or shipment reference number is issued, it may appear on the booking confirmation, shipping documents, transport receipt or related correspondence. If you cannot find the relevant reference, contact the party responsible for your shipment booking.

Delivery times vary according to transport mode, distance, route, carrier schedule, border requirements, customs processing and operational conditions. Air freight is often faster than ocean freight, but no universal transit time applies to every shipment. Confirm the estimated schedule before booking.

Freight delays can arise from weather conditions, congestion, customs examinations, carrier schedule changes, equipment availability and other operational issues. Where a delay occurs, review the latest available shipment information and contact the responsible provider to discuss revised delivery expectations.

Cargo insurance is not necessarily included in a standard freight quotation. Carrier liability and comprehensive cargo insurance are different forms of protection. Confirm whether insurance is available, the coverage provided, applicable exclusions and any additional premium before shipping.

Inspect the shipment as soon as reasonably possible. Record any visible damage or shortage on the delivery documentation where appropriate, take clear photographs, retain packaging and notify the responsible carrier or freight provider promptly. Claims requirements and notice deadlines depend on the contract and applicable law.
