The trade between Europe and America is constant. Everyday thousands of products and goods cross the Atlantic Ocean in both directions with a variety of destinations and points of origin. Two of the countries that carry out regular freight forwarding operations are Uruguay and Spain.

Goods are moved either by airfreight in an airplane or by sea freight by placing the products in a large container that sails on a cargo ship. Depending on the customer’s needs, one means of transport is chosen or the other, depending on the size of the goods. The type of container needed is calculated based on volume, measured in feet; and the time frame in which we need the goods to be exported from Spain to Uruguay is also considered. It is well known that the air transport is faster than sea transport.

Before starting an export we must know all the procedures, the correct labeling of the goods, the legal requirements, the existing tariff regimes and bear in mind that Uruguay is part of Mercosur. Upon arrival at the Uruguayan port or airport, our goods must also undergo customs control. To make sure that everything is in order, and we comply with Uruguayan legislation, it is ideal to have the help of an accredited logistics operator such as Logisber.
