Slovak Import Requirements:

Automotive Parts to Bratislava: A car manufacturer in Bratislava sourced 420+ components from 7 Chinese cities (Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chongqing), including engine parts, electronics, and safety systems. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 4 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Hamburg in a 40ft container, and coordinated rail transport to their factory.

Electronics to Košice: A tech retailer needed smartphones from Shenzhen, laptops from Chengdu, and accessories from Yiwu for their Košice stores. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Port of Rotterdam in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to their outlets. The shipment cleared Slovak Customs in 1.5 days, arriving 37 days after pickup—meeting their seasonal sales deadline.

Medical Devices to Prešov: A healthcare facility required MRI machines from Beijing and surgical tools from Shenzhen for their Prešov clinic. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Bratislava Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated local delivery.
