Freight Options
Choosing the Best Shipping Mode from Switzerland
Sea freight is ideal for large shipments or heavy items. It's a suitable choice if your cargo from Switzerland is not in a hurry and you want to save on shipping costs. Popular commodities like machinery and chemicals often use sea freight because they're not time-sensitive and are usually shipped in bulk.
Air freight is perfect for sending goods when time is important. It's faster than sea freight and is useful for smaller, high-value items or urgent deliveries. Watches and luxury goods, which Switzerland is famous for, typically use air freight due to their high value and demand for quick transportation.
Courier services are best for smaller packages or urgent documents, providing door-to-door service. They are reliable and quick, making them perfect for exporting pharmaceuticals or small electronics from Switzerland.
