Germany is Europe's industrial engine and a core Baobab lane. Through Hamburg and Bremerhaven we connect your cargo to the EU single market and the wider world.
Germany's seaborne trade runs through Hamburg — its largest port — and Bremerhaven, while Frankfurt Airport is one of Europe's major air-cargo hubs. From the coast we move inland to the Rhine-Ruhr industrial region and across the EU by road and rail.
Goods already within the EU move in free circulation; imports from outside clear once into the union under the Common Customs Tariff, with German import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) applied. An EU EORI number is required. We handle entry, classification and onward distribution across member states.
German trade skews to high-value machinery, vehicles and chemicals — cargo that brings documentation, dangerous-goods and project-handling demands. Our network and compliance partners are built for exactly these movements.
