Does Cartrag handle out-of-gauge cargo (OOG)?

It is one of CARTRAG's core specialisations - OOG cargo, project cargo, non-standard dimensions and weights, from transformers to steel structures. The more difficult the cargo, the more the forwarder's experience matters.

How much does a transport quote cost and how long does it take?

The quote is free and non-binding. Standard enquiries are priced within 2 hours on business days; complex OOG cargo needs more time for a reliable calculation, which the client is informed about right away.

One-off transport or ongoing cooperation - what does Cartrag offer?

Cartrag handles both. A one-off shipment does not require a standing contract or a declared regular volume - a single transport is enough, even an unusual or oversized one. Ongoing cooperation makes sense with regular shipments, where a dedicated contact person knows the client's specifics.

Does delivery cover transport to the port or to the final consignee?

Transport is carried through to the end - to the client's warehouse or indicated location, not just to the port. Customs duty, terminal handling, documentation and domestic delivery are all part of a single shipment supervised by one person.

Who handles customs clearance and documentation for imports?

Customs formalities are coordinated together with a customs agency (from import and export documents to the declaration itself) as part of one transport process.

How do I order international transport?

One enquiry is enough - a description of the cargo, the route and the deadline, even a general one. From the first contact, a single person will handle your enquiry.

What causes delays in international transport?

Most often not the transport itself but the processes around it: congested terminals, customs clearances, missing documentation, changes in carrier schedules. According to Sea-Intelligence data (June 2026), the average delay in global sea freight is 5.31 days.

When is it worth choosing rail freight over sea?

Usually when a shorter delivery time matters at a cost lower than air freight. The choice depends on the type of goods, the deadline and the budget.

Your cargo. Our supervision.

From the first enquiry to the final unloading.

The route and mode of transport is rarely an obvious choice - it depends on the cargo, the deadline, customs formalities and carriage terms. Cartrag analyses every variable and selects the solution for the specific shipment.

3 principles of CARTRAG

One contact person. Constant communication.

At Cartrag, one person runs the entire shipment, from first contact to delivery. They know the context, remember the arrangements, and the client always knows who to call. Your contact keeps you informed about the transport status, also when something goes off plan.

Realistic deadlines. No empty promises.

Cartrag has no influence on many transport delays, so it does not guarantee dates. Cartrag's experience and its contacts with carriers and port agents allow it to resolve problems efficiently and avoid unnecessary delays.

Solutions, not excuses.

A border inspection, a held container, a sudden rate change. When a problem appears, Cartrag does not send the client back to the carrier or the authority - it presents possible solutions and their costs, so the client can make an informed decision.

Companies that trusted us speak for themselves

Cartrag organised our container transport from Asia in a way that meant we stopped worrying about deadlines for the first time. Real-time cargo tracking and constant contact with the forwarder is a standard we did not have before.

Marek

project director

An unusual, oversized load on a tight deadline - and still everything was completed on time. Technical documentation and carrier approvals prepared without our involvement. Top-level professionalism.

Anna

logistics manager

We have worked with Cartrag for years on customs clearances and cargo packing for sea freight. Zero port downtime, full cost transparency and fast contact - exactly what our company needs.

Piotr

logistics manager

This transport has been a success mainly due to the perfect knowledge of Cartrag.

Geodis France

A 90-tonne transformer to Kazakhstan. Three forwarding companies declined the job. Cartrag organised the transport in three weeks - including securing, documentation and customs clearance.

Dominik

finance director

A container held at customs clearance right before the holidays. The customs delay just before the holiday period was resolved within 48 hours thanks to our dedicated contact person's quick reaction.
