Options for Transporting Cargo to Landlocked Countries

For clients transporting cargo to a landlocked country, such as Ethiopia, Bolivia, or Austria, there are two major options. The first includes shipping via air freight, which has a number of benefits. Clients who choose air freight can transport their cargo faster, can see it to their destination of choice, whether the country is landlocked or not, and can transport their cargo safely and efficiently.

With international shipping services, the freight forwarding company will usually offer this option for an additional cost.
