25Mode of transport

One contract from the supplier's door to yours.

Buying, checking, packing, moving, clearing and delivering — handled as one file with one landed cost, whatever the product category.

The chain

Five stages, one file number

  1. 01

    Procurement

    Purchase in your name or our own, terms negotiated, order verified against specification.

  2. 02

    Inspection

    Quality and quantity checked before loading, export packing and marking to destination rules.

  3. 03

    Transport

    Air, sea or land — booked and insured through our group logistics arm.

  4. 04

    Clearance

    Declaration prepared and lodged before arrival, duties calculated and settled.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Final delivery to warehouse or retail, proof of delivery, file closed with landed cost.

Stage 03 is operated by KOTA WORLDLINK.

Air, sea and land freight run through the logistics company of KOTA Holding— same group, same file, no margin stacked between two unrelated companies.

Scope

You decide where our responsibility starts

We work along standard Incoterms, so the split of cost and risk is never a matter of interpretation.

EXW / FOB
You hand over at the factory gate or the port of loading. Everything after that point is ours.
CIF / CFR
Freight and insurance to the destination port under our contract and our carrier relationships.
DAP / DDP
Delivered to the final address, with DDP including import duty and taxes settled by us.
Categories

Any product category

Handling is built around the requirements of the goods, not around a fixed catalogue of what we accept.

  • 01Consumer goods & FMCG
  • 02Food & beverage
  • 03Cosmetics & personal care
  • 04Lubricants & chemicals
  • 05Industrial equipment & spare parts
  • 06Automotive & aftermarket
  • 07Textiles & lifestyle
  • 08Project and oversized cargo

Regulated and dangerous goods are possible, but always subject to a feasibility check before we quote.
