Sea freight to and from Austria
As a professional organizing shipments to or from Austria, you already know that performance in sea freight depends on timing, port selection, and cost control across the entire chain. Even without direct sea access, Austria relies on efficient port gateways like Hamburg, Rotterdam, or Koper, which means your margins depend on precise pre and post carriage, coordinated container transport, and reliable transit planning. However, small misalignments between inland haulage, port handling, and customs can quickly impact lead times and working capital.
To keep control over your international maritime transport, you need a partner who anticipates bottlenecks, secures vessel space, and aligns documentation with Austrian and EU requirements. As your maritime freight forwarder in Austria, DocShipper structures each shipment by sea with operational clarity, so you gain continuity, predictability, and measurable logistics performance.
Maritime containerization
Whether your volumes justify FCL, LCL or RoRo, we match each option to your cargo type, budget, and deadlines, ensuring your containerization strategy supports your operational and financial objectives.
Logistics coordination
You benefit from full logistics coordination and maritime shipment tracking, with one dedicated contact overseeing your international transport flows to and from Austria, reducing friction, securing milestones, and keeping you informed at every stage.
Transport documentation
We prepare all maritime transport documentation for your shipments to and from Austria, aligned with EU customs standards and Austrian import procedures, and provide detailed quotations within 24 hours for fast decision-making.
Tailor-made solutions
Your project is unique, so we build tailor-made maritime transport solutions to and from Austria, aligned with your sector constraints, shipment volumes, delivery windows, and broader international logistics strategy.
Air freight to and from Austria
Austria’s central European position and major hubs like Vienna International Airport make it ideal for air freight across Europe, Asia, and North America. As an experienced air forwarder, we organize shipment by plane for urgent products, high-value equipment, pharmaceuticals, and time-critical industrial parts. Our air logistics solutions cover standard cargo, express services, and oversized parcel transport, ensuring secure transport of goods by air to and from Austria.
Air transport offers unmatched speed but involves higher costs, size and weight limits, and strict Austrian and EU customs procedures. We manage compliance and documentation, handling shipments starting from 100 kg or 0.5 m³ with efficiency and reliability.

Import and export customs clearance in Austria
Importing and exporting goods to and from Austria requires strict adherence to customs clearance procedures aligned with EU regulations and Austrian Federal Customs rules. Businesses often face challenges such as accurate tariff classification under the EU Combined Nomenclature, management of customs duties and customs tariffs, and compliance with Intrastat and VAT obligations. Delays may also arise from targeted customs inspections at key crossings like Vienna Airport or major road corridors linking Germany, Italy, and Eastern Europe.
As an experienced licensed customs broker in Austria, we handle all customs formalities, from precise customs declarations to full customs management for transit, temporary admission, and bonded warehousing. Our team ensures customs compliance with Austrian authorities, minimizes risks of penalties, and accelerates release times through reliable customs clearance services tailored to your supply chain.

I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
