Project Timeline
Road Transport
Wines were collected from wine auctions in Paris, Copenhagen, and Berlin and transported to our warehouse in Riga.
Repacking & Customs Clearance
All wines were repacked into one wooden box at our warehouse in Riga. Prepared 3 separate export customs declarations (one for each shipper).
Air Transport to Shanghai
Consolidated box was shipped via Turkish Airlines from Riga to Shanghai. Customer customs clearance was performed at destination.
Key Challenges & Solutions
3 Separate Customs Declarations
Since there were 3 different shippers (Paris, Copenhagen, Berlin), we had to prepare 3 separate export customs declarations to comply with customs requirements.
Consolidation in Riga
All wines were repacked into one secure wooden box, ensuring optimal protection and efficient shipping.
Fast Air Transport
Using Turkish Airlines' direct route from Riga to Shanghai, we ensured fast and reliable delivery.
Customer Customs Clearance
Customs clearance was performed at destination in Shanghai, ensuring smooth import process for the customer.
