We arrange business-to-business (B2B) international express deliveries of time-critical, larger shipments on intercontinental routes outside the European Union (e.g. to China, the rest of Asia, and the USA).
We carry out express deliveries by air or multimodal transport, depending on the dimensions, weight, and nature of the cargo, as well as the route. We carry both standard goods and dangerous goods (ADR, IMO / IMDG, IATA DGR).
We consolidate the entire organisation of international express deliveries under one roof – route and transport mode selection, coordination of time-critical cargo movement, and customs clearance. We arrange express deliveries for larger shipments on intercontinental routes outside the European Union. Express deliveries may involve air transport or a multimodal solution. We carry standard goods and dangerous goods (ADR, IMO / IMDG, IATA DGR). As a member of WCA (World Cargo Alliance), the world’s largest logistics network, we work with airlines and partners around the world, ensuring strong connectivity.
Our express delivery service has grown out of the need to offer companies solutions for time-critical international business-to-business shipments outside the European Union. We start from the principle that an express delivery is not an end in itself, but a tool for mitigating supply chain disruptions, production stoppages, and business risks. We understand that express delivery is not the client’s first preference, but a necessary solution in situations where the delivery schedule or other commercial constraints do not allow the use of a standard transport solution.
Over the years, we have developed our express delivery service from air transport of larger shipments to multimodal solutions. The service covers both standard goods and dangerous goods. When arranging express deliveries, we take into account the dimensions, weight, and nature of the cargo, and the specifics of the route.
Today we serve industrial, manufacturing, and trading companies as well as public-sector bodies and institutions that need a flexible and experienced partner for arranging international express deliveries on intercontinental routes outside the European Union. Our role is to support the client throughout the entire express delivery process and to help make well-considered decisions in time-critical situations.
We provide business-to-business (B2B) international express deliveries for larger shipments. The express delivery is carried out either as air or multimodal transport, combining different modes of transport. We arrange express deliveries to China, the USA, and other non-EU countries, both for imports and exports. We carry standard goods and dangerous goods (ADR, IMO / IMDG, IATA DGR). Express delivery is a suitable solution in situations where the speed of a standard transport solution is not sufficient. This is typical, for example, in cases where a production stoppage has been caused by the absence of a spare part or raw material, the deadline for delivery of the goods is short, or there is another time-critical situation. When arranging express deliveries, we include customs service and cargo insurance based on the nature of the shipment and the client’s needs. The table below shows the frequency and indicative transit times of the main express delivery destinations.
| Destination market | Main countries | Origin or destination | Service type | Indicative transit time* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asia | China, Taiwan, India, South Korea | All of Estonia | Air transport / multimodal | ~3–7 days |
| Americas | USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil | All of Estonia | Air transport / multimodal | ~3–8 days |
| Middle East | United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel | All of Estonia | Air transport / multimodal | ~3–6 days |
| Australia and Oceania | Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia | All of Estonia | Air transport / multimodal | ~4–9 days |
We serve international express delivery destinations in non-EU countries on intercontinental routes. We carry out express deliveries by air or as a multimodal solution.
Practical sea transport guidance for smooth imports and exports. We compare transport types, explain customs procedures, and share best practices for using Incoterms delivery clauses.
We serve international express deliveries on more distant routes outside the European Union, using air transport and, when needed, multimodal solutions. Express delivery is particularly suitable for time-critical shipments where a standard transport solution does not match the delivery schedule.
Below we answer frequently asked questions about planning express deliveries, choosing the mode of transport, documentation, and customs processes. If you don’t find an answer or your shipment is still being planned, contact us. When necessary, we provide an initial estimate and practical input even in situations where not all the input data is yet final.
The choice of a suitable express delivery solution depends primarily on the time-criticality, dimensions, weight, and nature of the cargo, and on the origin and destination. If the time frames allow the transport of the goods as a standard transport service (e.g. by rail transport from China), we draw attention to this and compare different modes of transport, so that the client can make a substantively and economically justified decision.
Air transport is used mainly on intercontinental routes outside the European Union, especially for China, the USA, and other more distant countries. Multimodal express delivery is suitable in cases where different modes of transport are combined to achieve a solution that is realistic in terms of both time and technical feasibility. As many airlines do not have direct connections to Tallinn Lennart Meri Airport, when arranging air transport we use airports in our region with better connections (e.g. Helsinki, Stockholm Arlanda, Warsaw, Frankfurt, Munich). Pre- and on-carriage are carried out with a dedicated vehicle, and the goods move to Tallinn Airport under the same air waybill, so the client does not need to worry about separate arrangements.
International express delivery is particularly suitable for time-critical shipments where the delivery time of a standard transport solution is not sufficient. Typical situations include production stoppages due to the absence of a spare part or raw material, short delivery deadlines, and other time-sensitive supply chain disruptions. Although express delivery is more expensive than a standard transport solution, it is often used as a conscious decision to avoid contractual penalties and the greater financial loss caused by production stoppages or delivery delays.
Our express delivery service is aimed at larger shipments on intercontinental routes outside the European Union. The service is not intended for small parcels, documents, or other shipments in the focus of courier services, which are transported by international courier companies that specialise in this area.
Suitability and feasibility are assessed separately for each shipment, taking into account the properties of the goods, the origin and destination, and the time frames.
No, we do not arrange express deliveries within the European Union. Our service is aimed at international express deliveries on intercontinental routes outside the European Union (e.g. China, the USA, and other more distant countries).
Yes, we also arrange express deliveries for dangerous goods in accordance with applicable regulations. In air transport, the carriage of dangerous goods is carried out in accordance with the IATA DGR rules. We arrange express deliveries among other things for energy storage units and equipment containing lithium-ion batteries.
Not all dangerous goods are permitted for express delivery. We help assess whether the specific goods meet the applicable requirements and advise on the necessary documents, including the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and the UN 38.3 test summary for dangerous goods.
On intercontinental routes outside the European Union, we arrange express deliveries for shipments with a total volume of at least 0.125 m³ (e.g. 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 m). This calculation applies to the shipment as a whole, not per individual package.
Shipments that fall below the above-mentioned minimum limits fall within the service area of international courier companies and are not within the focus of our service.
No, we do not offer express delivery services to private clients. Our service is aimed only at business-to-business (B2B) shipments, and we arrange shipments where both the sender and the recipient of the goods are legal entities.
For shipments, documents, and relocations involving private individuals, we recommend turning to companies that specialise in international courier and moving services.
