Sea freight to and from Greece
If you are managing sea freight to or from Greece, you already know that port selection, carrier capacity in Piraeus or Thessaloniki, and seasonal congestion in the Eastern Mediterranean directly affect your margins and timelines. In practice, balancing transit time, container availability, and customs formalities within the EU framework requires more than booking space, it demands tight cost control and anticipation to keep control over your supply chain performance.
As a maritime freight forwarder established in international flows, we secure reliable container transport, optimize routing, and align documentation with Greek and EU requirements so your shipment by sea stays predictable. The goal is simple, protect your cash flow and delivery commitments with consistent execution in international maritime transport to and from Greece.
Maritime containerization
You choose between FCL, LCL or RoRo depending on your cargo volume, urgency, and equipment type, we align containerization with your cost structure and operational constraints.
Logistics coordination
With dedicated logistics coordination and maritime shipment tracking, you benefit from full visibility on your international transport to and from Greece, with one maritime freight forwarder contact ensuring smooth, controlled operations.
Transport documentation
We prepare complete transport documentation for your shipments to and from Greece, aligned with EU customs rules and Greek port procedures, and provide a detailed quotation within 24 hours.
Tailor-made solutions
Your volumes, sector standards, and deadlines shape our tailor-made maritime transport solutions, combining professional sea freight expertise and international logistics planning adapted to Greece-related trade flows.
Port of Piraeus
The Port of Piraeus is Greece’s primary container gateway and a strategic hub for cargo flows between Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Balkans. If you are routing cargo via Greece, your main decisions will concern terminal selection, hinterland connectivity, and transshipment versus direct delivery.
- High transshipment volumes can lead to berth congestion during peak periods, increasing the risk of vessel delays and extended lead times.
- Rail connections to Central and Eastern Europe are available but capacity constraints or schedule gaps may shift cargo to road, impacting inland costs and delivery reliability.
- Customs inspections and documentation inconsistencies can trigger container holds, resulting in storage fees and supply chain disruptions.
Air freight to and from Greece
As an experienced air forwarder, we organize air freight solutions to and from Greece, connecting Athens, Thessaloniki and major international hubs. Shipment by plane is ideal for urgent deliveries, high-value products, pharmaceuticals, marine parts or time-sensitive industrial components. Our air logistics team manages standard cargo, oversized parcel transport and the transport of goods by air with precision.
Air transport offers unmatched speed but involves higher costs, weight and size limits, and specific Greek customs procedures. We guide you through every step and handle shipments starting from 100 kg or 0.5 m³.
Express freight
You can rely on us for urgent air freight shipments to and from Greece. We prioritize your cargo, reduce transit times, and help you meet critical deadlines while keeping your supply chain moving efficiently.
Special parcels
We manage your oversized and heavy air parcels to and from Greece, handling dimension limits, weight restrictions, and airline compliance so your complex shipments move smoothly.
Protecting your goods
Your fragile or high-value goods are handled with maximum security and care throughout Greece’s main airports. We use adapted packaging, secure loading, and strict monitoring to ensure your cargo arrives in perfect condition.
Peace of mind
With our global air freight network, you avoid administrative and operational hassles in Greece. We coordinate every step, connecting you to worldwide markets with confidence and full transparency.
Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos)
If you ship air freight to or from Greece, Athens International Airport is your primary gateway for international cargo. Most long-haul capacity and dedicated freight handling are concentrated there, making your routing decisions largely dependent on Athens.
- During summer and tourism peaks, peak season congestion reduces available belly capacity, which increases airfreight rates and can add 1–3 days to uplift if you book late.
- Customs procedures are centralized and generally efficient, but incomplete documentation delays customs clearance and may trigger storage fees at the cargo terminal.
- For pharma or perishables, access to temperature-controlled handling is available but limited in space, so late bookings increase the risk of shipment refusal or priority surcharges.
Import and export customs clearance in Greece
Importing and exporting goods to and from Greece involves specific regulatory and logistical considerations, particularly due to its extensive maritime trade and strategic ports such as Piraeus and Thessaloniki. Businesses must comply with EU regulations while also meeting national requirements for customs declarations, customs duties, and customs tariffs. Delays may arise from documentary discrepancies, product classification issues, or targeted customs inspections, especially for agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, and goods transiting to non-EU Balkan countries.
As an experienced licensed customs broker in Greece, we handle all customs clearance procedures with precision, ensuring full customs compliance and accurate tariff classification. Our tailored customs clearance services cover import, export, and transit operations, supported by strong relationships with Greek customs authorities. Through proactive customs management and in-depth local customs expertise, we reduce clearance times, prevent penalties, and secure the smooth release of your goods across Greek and EU borders.

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.

December 10, 2024My 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!!

March 5, 2024I 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.

November 28, 2024In 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.

Mar 5, 2024A 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!

July 10, 2024I 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.
