Frequently Asked Questions: Austria → Greece Shipping
Do I need customs clearance inside the EU?
For goods already in free circulation, only an intrastat declaration and CMR/CMR note are required. If the goods originate outside the EU and are under customs control, we file the EU transit (T1) and finalise at Piraeus or Thessaloniki.
How long does groupage shipping take?
Our scheduled LTL trailers depart Linz every Tuesday and Friday, reaching Athens in four to five working days door-to-door.
Can you move oversize machinery?
Yes — we arrange route surveys, police escorts and special permits through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Greece. Low-bed trailers up to 45 t and 3.5 m height available.
Is temperature control available?
GDP-compliant reefer trucks and active air containers keep +2 °C / +8 °C pharma or -20 °C frozen foods within tolerance.
What about cargo insurance?
We can place all-risk marine insurance at 0.6 % of insured value with Lloyd’s-rated underwriters; minimum premium €35.
