Which trade corridors do you specialize in?

Turkey ↔ Europe and Europe → Turkey, plus China → Europe. We handle road (TIR/CMR), sea (FCL/LCL), and air via Schiphol.

Do you handle customs clearance?

Yes. We manage EU and Turkish customs paperwork as part of intermediary and freight projects, including HS classification support.

Continental Supply Co. B.V. is registered in the Netherlands (KVK 97114146) at Westernesse 18, 2635 BG Den Hoorn — near Rotterdam and within reach of Schiphol.

What languages can we work in?

Dutch, English, and Turkish. We typically respond within one business day.

How do we start a shipment or project?

Email info@cosupplybv.com or use the contact form with origin, destination, goods description, and timeline. We reply with feasibility and next steps.

Do you only broker, or do you manage the move end-to-end?

We act as a trade intermediary and customs specialist — coordinating clearance and transport modes rather than acting as a pure matchmaking broker.

Which transport modes do you cover?

Road between Turkey and the EU (including TIR/CMR documentation), sea freight with FCL and LCL documentation through major ports, and air freight clearance in the Schiphol region.

Can you help before we book freight capacity?

Yes. Trade consulting covers HS classification strategy, origin rules, duty exposure, and corridor-specific compliance so you can decide mode and Incoterms with fewer surprises.

What should we include in a first email?

Commodity description (or HS family if known), origin and destination, approximate weight or volume, preferred mode if any, and the date goods need to move or arrive. Photos of packing marks help when available.

Do you work with one-off shipments or only ongoing volumes?

Both. Many clients start with a single clearance or trial lane, then expand once the process and communication fit. Recurring programs get a reusable document checklist per corridor.

China to Europe — Choosing Road, Sea, or Air

A practical comparison of sea (FCL/LCL), air via Schiphol, and when mixed modes make sense for China → Europe industrial shipments.

Mode trade-offs

Mode	Best when	Watch-outs
Sea FCL/LCL	Cost-sensitive, stable volume	Longer transit; booking windows
Air	Urgency, high value density	Cost; screening and docs
Multimodal	Balance of cost and time	Handoffs need clear ownership

Documents still decide the schedule

Even a perfect booking stalls without aligned commercial docs and customs inputs. Build HS classification and compliance checks into the project brief, not the dock.

Our role

Continental Supply Co. B.V. coordinates intermediary and customs work for China → Europe lanes alongside Turkey ↔ Europe corridors — road, sea, and air as the cargo requires.
