International logistics expertise serving your commercial development

Our mastery of export flows, combined with in-depth knowledge of international customs regulations, guarantees the security and fluidity of your supplies from France to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and all international markets.

High-performance and proven logistics infrastructure

Our organization relies on a network of logistics partners strategically positioned across French territory, allowing us to optimize flows according to the production areas of the brands we represent and your time constraints. We have storage and preparation capacities in the Paris Region (77230 Dammartin-en-Goële), in the Mediterranean Zone (13700 Marignane) and on the Atlantic Coast in Le Havre (76170 Saint-Jean-de-Folleville), France's leading port for containerized traffic.

This geographical presence enables us to ensure rapid collection from the distribution centers of major international brands, efficiently coordinate consolidations and control lead times to the port of embarkation.

International maritime transport: our core business

Complete organization of your containerized shipments

We orchestrate all your maritime shipments in full containers (FCL - Full Container Load): 20-foot, 40-foot standard and 40-foot High Cube containers. Our privileged partnership with major maritime freight forwarders based in Le Havre allows us to negotiate competitive conditions and ensure personalized monitoring of each shipment.

Our logistics flows cover all international maritime routes: Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America and all continents accessible by sea. We adapt our solutions to your specific needs, whether scheduled regular shipments or occasional flows according to your commercial opportunities.

Planning and optimization of your loads

Our expertise particularly focuses on optimizing loading plans to maximize your container fill rate while guaranteeing cargo safety. We study with you the best configuration according to the nature of the products, their original packaging and handling constraints at destination.

This approach allows us to reduce your unit transport costs and improve the profitability of your imports. Our teams also advise you on choosing the most suitable container type according to your product mix and volumes.

Documentary control and customs formalities

Export documentation: zero errors, zero delays

Export documentation is a critical element of your international supply success. Our teams have perfect command of preparing all necessary documents and ensure their compliance with the regulatory requirements of each destination country.

We prepare and validate for each shipment:

• Commercial invoices with precise customs nomenclatures and compliant valuations
  
• Detailed packing lists with net weights, gross weights, number of packages per reference and precise volume
  
• Certificates of origin when required by applicable trade agreements
  
• Negotiable or non-negotiable maritime bills of lading according to your instructions
  
• Export declarations (SAD - Single Administrative Document) with appropriate tariff classification
  
• All specific required documents: sanitary certificates, phytosanitary certificates, conformity certificates, halal certificates when necessary
  

Our experience with major international FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) brands has enabled us to develop particular expertise on documentary requirements related to food, cosmetics, hygiene and maintenance products.

Recognized customs expertise

We handle all export customs formalities in close coordination with French customs services. Our knowledge of combined nomenclatures, economic customs regimes and clearance procedures enables us to anticipate and effectively resolve any customs issues.

Our teams also maintain continuous regulatory monitoring of changes in customs and sanitary regulations in all geographical areas we serve, alerting you in advance to any changes likely to impact your supplies.

Professional stuffing and cargo securing

Technical supervision of stuffing operations

Your container stuffing receives particular attention from our teams. We personally supervise operations to guarantee loading quality and optimal cargo security during maritime transport.

Our stuffing services include:

• Prior container inspection (watertightness, cleanliness, absence of damage)

• Use of professional adapted dunnage materials: inflatable dunnage bags for lateral support, lashing straps, wooden chocks, protective stretch films
  
• Compliance with load distribution standards for container stability
  
• Customs seal application after complete loading
  

Systematic photographic traceability

Each stuffing operation is subject to complete photographic documentation that we archive and transmit to you. These photographic reports constitute irrefutable proof of the cargo condition at departure and loading quality, an essential element in case of subsequent dispute with maritime carriers or insurers.
