See every shipment, across every mode, in one place, even freight you're moving with other providers. Flexport flags exceptions before they become delays, so prevent problems before they happen.
Your cargo clears customs the moment it arrives
Importers of every size have relied on Flexport's German customs team for years. Your goods can clear at the ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Wilhelmshaven, at any German airport, inland through T1 transit, or directly at an approved warehouse. Flexport doesn't need to move your freight to clear it. It offers customs as its own service.
Choosing the right gateway, in and out of Germany
On the ground in Hamburg and Frankfurt
Hamburg and Bremerhaven handle the bulk of Germany's ocean freight, and Frankfurt is Europe's busiest air cargo hub. Flexport runs its own offices in both cities, so the same team coordinates your ocean and air shipments every day.
Local knowledge decides every routing call
Rotterdam or Antwerp can beat Hamburg for shippers in western and southern Germany. Flexport routes each shipment through whichever gateway is quickest, handles the customs paperwork that comes with it, and can support Limited Fiscal Representation (LFR) in the Netherlands.
An intermodal network that reaches every region
Flexport's network of truck, rail, and barge partners reaches every part of Germany, connecting ports on its coast to inland hubs in the north, south, east, and west. That reach means your containers keep moving without waiting on a single carrier's capacity.
Trusted by the world's leading brands
More than 13,000 companies trust Flexport to manage their global logistics across 24 time zones. From Fortune 500s to emerging brands, companies rely on our freight forwarding, customs brokerage and e-commerce fulfillment services to drive supply chain efficiencies.
