RAIL FREIGHT COMES WITH 3 MAIN ADVANTAGES
1) TIME AND COST SAVINGS
The cost of rail freight from/to China is potentially 50% cheaper than air cargo for the same trip. The transit time is 45% to 50% shorter, as compared to sea freight transport.
2) QUICKER CUSTOMS PROCEDURES
Customs declaration and inspection can be proceeded much more quickly than in the case of air freight or traditional sea freight. This customs service is available in the form of a full service 24/7, handled by our team present in China.
3) FLEXIBLE AND MULTIPLE SERVICES
A wide variety of goods is accepted for transportation and the services offered include: door-to-door deliveries, FCL and LCL, classic and dangerous goods.
Not a boat, not an airplane, but a train. The first freight train from China to the United Kingdom is now running. This new route of silk used by the intercontinental train is a new means of transport between the two continents and offers many advantages.
The main benefits of this option is its short delivery time and obviously the lower costs it offers. Indeed, the delays provided by rail freight are way shorter than sea freight and less expensive than air transport.
