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

Question 2

Do you handle customs clearance?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

Where are you based?

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.

Question 4

What languages can we work in?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

How do we start a shipment or project?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

Which transport modes do you cover?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Can you help before we book freight capacity?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

What should we include in a first email?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

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.
