Groupage and part load consolidation

Cargo is consolidated at warehouses in Vilnius. You only need to share the sender’s contact — we arrange fast, smooth loading from any point in Europe and prepare and agree all accompanying documents with you.

When to choose a part load

A part load (LTL) means you pay only for the space you actually occupy in the trailer, not for the whole truck. That is rational when a shipment is too big for a courier but does not fill a semi-trailer.

How consolidation works

We collect cargo across the whole of Europe and bring it to a warehouse in Vilnius. There it is combined into one shipment and departs for Central Asia 3–6 times a week. You do not need to coordinate several carriers — give us the sender's contact and we take over pickup, storage, transhipment and documents.

What determines the price

We calculate by the space occupied — pallet spaces or volume, taking weight into account. We accept shipments from 1 kg and from 0.1 m³, with indicative pricing from €200 per pallet; shipments smaller than a pallet are priced individually. Dangerous goods (ADR) requirements, temperature control and warehouse repacking also affect the price.

When a part load stops paying off

As a shipment approaches a full trailer, a full truckload (FTL) is usually cheaper than several pallets booked separately — and faster, because there is no waiting for consolidation. The threshold is individual: send dimensions and weight and we will tell you which option is cheaper in your case. See road freight FTL.

Lead times and route

Loading in Europe within 24 hours of the cargo being ready. Transit to Central Asia takes 9–15 days (Astana 9–12, Almaty 10–14, Tashkent 11–15), depending on the destination and border queues. The northern route runs through Lithuania with transit via Belarus and Russia; the southern route goes through Türkiye. We choose based on the commodity code and the restrictions that apply to it.

Why code checking matters most in a part load

A single trailer carries goods from several or a dozen shippers. If one client's goods are subject to a transit prohibition via Belarus, the whole truck stops — along with everyone whose documents are in order. That is why we check codes before consolidating a load. You can also check your own code in our free HS code check.

What to prepare for an enquiry

For an accurate price first time, it helps to have: the loading address and readiness date, the number of pallets or dimensions and weight, the goods description and HS code, the destination city, and whether the cargo is ADR, perishable or requires a certificate.

If the consignee pays for the transport

Most shipments to Central Asia are paid for not by the European supplier but by the consignee. This section is for those who pay.

Delivery terms — EXW

We work on EXW terms: you collect the goods from the European supplier’s warehouse, and the rest of the chain is yours — route, lead times, carrier, documents. With the supplier you agree only the price of the goods at their warehouse, without a transport mark-up.

The usual difficulty with EXW for a buyer outside the EU is export clearance in the country of dispatch. We take that part on: INFOBETA prepares the EX-A export declaration and the T1 transit procedure.

Payment

Settlement in euros by bank transfer to INFOBETA’s account. Payment terms are agreed separately for each shipment — they depend on the cargo and the transport conditions.

Several suppliers — one shipment

If you buy from several suppliers in different European countries, you do not need as many transports. We collect the cargo from each of them and combine it into one shipment.

For you this means one carrier instead of five, one set of documents, one invoice and one arrival date. Goods from a factory in Italy and goods from a warehouse in Poland arrive together.
