Services overview Air Freight Sea Freight Road FreightRoad freight for domestic, European and international shipments where the cargo, route and operating conditions fit. Rail FreightFreightHub Logistics coordinates rail freight for suitable cargo on selected China–Europe and Eurasian routes. Project Cargo Industries overview Industrial & manufacturing logisticsKeep the production requirement at the centre of the freight decision. A missing component may need a different route from a planned machinery shipment; a large piece of equipment needs its weight and handling requirements understood before a schedule is agreed. Automotive logistics for production and aftermarket supplyA production-critical component and a planned shipment of replacement parts can travel through the same supply chain but serve different deadlines. FreightHub Logistics helps automotive businesses select transport around the cargo, receiving schedule and operational requirement rather than treating every parts shipment as an emergency. Healthcare & medical logisticsThe product's transport requirements should lead the freight plan. A diagnostic device, packaged clinical supplies and temperature-sensitive cargo need different handling information, documentation and routing decisions before collection is arranged. High-tech & electronics logisticsElectronics freight decisions need more than a carton count. Component availability, equipment value, fragility and battery content can all change the appropriate route and handling plan. FreightHub Logistics helps technology businesses bring those requirements into the shipment brief before transport is confirmed. Food and perishables logisticsFood freight starts with the product's requirements. A dry packaged shipment and a chilled consignment may need different transport, storage and handling arrangements, even when they share an origin and destination. The available shelf life also matters when comparing routes. Chemical logisticsA chemical shipment needs a clear product description before the freight options can be compared. Classification, packaging and handling requirements affect which routes and carriers can accept the goods. Some chemicals can travel as non-dangerous cargo; others require dangerous-goods documentation and specific transport arrangements. Renewable energy logisticsRenewable energy equipment may travel as standard containerised freight or as a shipment that needs individual project planning. Dimensions, weight and the delivery schedule determine the starting point. A consignment of electrical components and a larger item of project equipment should not be quoted on the same assumptions. Fashion and retail logisticsA collection launch and a routine stock delivery put different demands on freight. The receiving date may be fixed, while supplier readiness and shipment volumes still need confirmation. FreightHub Logistics helps fashion and retail businesses bring those details into a transport plan before choosing a mode. Consumer goods and FMCG logisticsRegular replenishment, promotional stock and larger inventory shipments each need a freight plan that reflects when the goods will be ready and where they must arrive. FreightHub Logistics supports consumer goods and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) customers through its Netherlands, Germany and China offices. E-commerce freight and inventory logisticsGetting stock from a supplier to the right receiving warehouse is a separate task from fulfilling individual customer orders. FreightHub Logistics supports international inbound freight and agreed inventory movements for e-commerce businesses, with dedicated e-commerce industry capability in the Netherlands and China.

Modes: Air

Pressure on this shipment

Shipment pressure: Documentation
Shipment pressure: Time-sensitive

Recorded facts

Recorded outcome: FreightHub Logistics reports a delivery time of 23 days and says the shipment reached Almaty on time.
Services involved: Air freight
Offices involved: Poland · Almaty

A household-appliance manufacturer needed an urgent shipment of electric grills delivered to Almaty. The shipment weighed 2.5 tonnes. The goods were initially in Poland, where a problem opening the export declaration led to a change of route through Frankfurt and then Leipzig.

The export declaration changed the route

The documentation problem in Poland led to the shipment being redirected to Frankfurt. From there, the cargo moved to Leipzig for onward air transport to Almaty.

Frankfurt storage and customs coordination

The Frankfurt airport warehouse arrangement allowed up to six days of free storage for this shipment.

Further customs difficulties added delay. FreightHub Logistics coordinated the clearance process, and the consignee in Almaty confirmed the paperwork.

Onward air transport from Leipzig

The electric grills were loaded for the Leipzig–Almaty air leg, with DHL handling the shipment.

Delivery in Almaty

FreightHub Logistics reports a delivery time of 23 days and says the shipment reached Almaty on time.

Prepare an enquiry when export paperwork is unresolved

State where the goods are physically located and describe the export-document issue already identified. Include the exporter and consignee details, available commercial documents, packed weights and dimensions, cargo-ready date and required arrival date. Identify who can confirm corrections before an alternative airport or route is agreed. A new shipment would need its own documentation and capacity review.
