Logistics by country

The logistics environment of each covered jurisdiction: transport modes, infrastructure, customs context, warehousing and ecommerce logistics.

• Canada

  Canada's logistics position: transcontinental rail, a dominant southbound land border, seasonal marine access and CBSA release procedure.

• Czech Republic

  Czechia without a coastline: how shippers reach borrowed seaports, why road and rail carry the load, and where customs transit fits in.

• Estonia

  Estonia's freight profile: Baltic deep-water access at Muuga, ro-pax links to Finland, an EU external frontier and heavily digitised customs.

• France

  France as a multi-seaboard gateway: Atlantic, Channel and Mediterranean entry points, river barge corridors, air cargo and Douane procedure.

• Germany

  Germany as Europe's freight crossroads: North Sea ports, Rhine barge traffic, dense rail, Frankfurt air cargo and Zoll declaration practice.

• Netherlands

  Why the Netherlands works as a European gateway: Rotterdam, Schiphol air cargo, barge and rail hinterland links, and Douane simplifications.

• Poland

  Poland as corridor and Baltic entry point: deep-water container calls at Gdansk, a large haulage sector, an eastern gauge break and KAS procedure.

• Portugal

  Portugal on the Atlantic edge: deep-water transhipment at Sines, northern industry served through Leixoes, and land routes that all cross Spain.

• Singapore

  Singapore as a transhipment and regional distribution hub: connectivity without a hinterland, free trade zones, sea-air routeing and permit-based customs.

• Spain

  Spain between two seas: Mediterranean container gateways, Atlantic and Strait transhipment, reefer road corridors north, and Iberian rail gauge limits.

• United Arab Emirates

  The UAE as a re-export hub: Jebel Ali port and free zone, twin Dubai air cargo airports, sea-air transfer and emirate-level customs administration.

• United Kingdom

  The UK after leaving the EU customs territory: short-straits roll-on roll-off traffic, deep-sea container ports, Heathrow belly cargo and HMRC declarations.

• United States

  US freight at continental scale: coastal port ranges, intermodal railroads, regulated trucking, foreign-trade zones and CBP advance filing requirements.
