Logisticoo organises your US traffic door-to-door — sea freight containers from Hamburg and Bremerhaven, air freight from Frankfurt, and the complete truck pre- and on-carriage on both sides of the Atlantic, with a fixed-price quote within 30 minutes. The USA is Germany's largest trading partner: machinery, vehicles and vehicle parts, pharmaceuticals and chemicals dominate the export flow, while technology products, agricultural goods and intermediate products come back. The standard routing is sea freight to the East Coast — New York/Newark, Norfolk, Charleston or Savannah in 9 to 14 days of ocean transit, door-to-door 10 to 18 days depending on the inland distance. Urgent shipments fly overnight from Frankfurt. The demanding part is compliance: ISF filing 24 hours before loading, customs bond, CBP clearance, plus the US baseline tariffs on many EU industrial goods increased since 2025, whose level varies by tariff code — our export department calculates the charges before booking so that your costing holds. Whether it's a trade-fair machine for Chicago, project cargo for a construction site in Texas or regular container series: your dedicated dispatcher manages both continents from a single point of contact. For trade fairs such as the IMTS in Chicago, we handle the process with an ATA Carnet for temporary admission — including the return shipment after the show ends.
