Moving cargo from A to B is only part of the job. The real value in a supply chain often lives in what happens around the shipment — and that's where we make the difference.
Our value-added services (VAS) cover the details that protect your cargo, your compliance, and your timeline. With FRETCO, they come from one accountable partner — not a patchwork of subcontractors.
Our Services
- Incoterms Assistance & Support — Guidance on selecting the right Incoterm (FOB, CIF, DDP, and others) for your trade lane — so cost, risk, and liability are clear before the shipment moves.
- Custom Packaging (Emballage sur Mesure) — Made-to-measure crating and export-grade packaging for fragile, irregular, or high-value cargo — reducing damage risk and optimizing transport costs.
- Shipping Inspection Visits — On-site inspection at loading or in-warehouse — verifying cargo condition, packaging, and quantities before problems become disputes.
- Importer of Record (IOR) — Legal import responsibility handled on your behalf — customs compliance, duties, and regulatory requirements — so non-EU companies can enter the EU market without setting up a local entity.
- Temporary Import for Exhibitions — Full customs coordination for trade show and exhibition cargo — smooth entry, compliant display, and re-export, with duty suspension for temporary-use goods.
- Cross-Docking & Repacking — Direct inbound-to-outbound transfer that minimizes storage dwell time, with consolidation, deconsolidation, and repacking for destination-market requirements.
- Special & Lifting Equipment — Cranes, flat-racks, and specialized transport for oversized, heavy, or out-of-gauge cargo — project logistics planned from origin to final placement.
