Intermodal Transports
The development and organization of the carriage of all types of goods to the port of dispatch and to the place of arrival by road, rail and inland waterway is considered to be an important link in the inter / multimodal transport chain.
In order to optimize patterns of traffic movement, we use our “Central Transport Co-ordination” department. By using our own potential synergy is achieved which guarantees the customer a high utility value and competitive pricing.
The details of the consignment, its customs status etc. are notified by us to the customs authorities, the port authorities and the transshipment companies via a special electronic notification system such as Saudi EDI(Jeddah) (export customs clearance in the paperless port system – Jeddah) before delivery / loading of the consignment at the deep sea port. The cargo-handling company is not allowed to load a consignment without a reference number issued by the system. This reference number must additionally appear on all export documents before they are submitted to the relevant customs office.
Special attention must be paid to the loading of goods having the following customs status:
→ Goods requiring an export license, e.g. base materials for drugs etc.
→ Goods subject to market regulations (T5), unequivocal proof must be provided that these goods may be exported
→ Dutiable goods/transit goods
