Choose the right Incoterm
The Incoterm sets who pays for what and who bears the risk at each stage. Well negotiated, it leaves you in control of the main freight.

The expert's view
A successful shipment is one nobody talks about. The customer should only see the delivery date, and it must be met. Port calls, transhipments, the unexpected: it is our job to anticipate them.
Their advice for optimising your transport costs
Optimise the fill rate
A well-filled container costs less per unit. Below about fifteen cubic metres, groupage remains the better option.
Plan ahead for seasonal peaks
Ahead of Chinese New Year and at year-end, rates and lead times go up. Book several weeks in advance.

Frequently asked questions
International transport: your questions
How do you choose a freight forwarder to import from China?
Check that they master both ends of the chain: pickup from the supplier and customs clearance in France. Ask for a quote itemised line by line, with the Incoterm, origin and destination charges and the transit time. Logisteasy organises freight from China and Asia to your warehouse, with a single contact from quote to delivery.
Sea freight or air freight: which to choose between China and France?
Sea freight is much cheaper per kilo and suits large volumes that can wait several weeks. Air is for urgent, light or high-value goods. We compare both for every shipment, according to your deadline and budget.

Groupage or full container: which should you choose?
With groupage (LCL), you pay for the volume used in a shared container; with a full container (FCL), you pay for the whole box. Above a certain volume, the full container becomes cheaper and safer, because the goods are not handled in a consolidation warehouse.
What are the dimensions of a 20-foot and 40-foot container?
A standard shipping container is about 6 m long for a 20-footer and 12 m for a 40-footer, and 2.44 m wide. The High Cube gains about thirty centimetres in height. Our toolbox gives the internal dimensions, usable volume and payload of each type.
Where is Logisteasy located?
Our office is at 13 rue Henri Farman, Tremblay-en-France (93), next to Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. We support importers from all over France, by sea, air and road freight.
