What is cross-border freight?
Cross-border freight connects an origin in one country with a destination in another. PTN lists cross-border freight as part of its service offering. Each enquiry needs route-specific assessment because the border crossing, cargo classification, documentation, and handover arrangements can affect the movement.
Who this service is for
- Importers and exporters assessing an overland movement.
- Businesses with cargo that requires coordination between multiple operating parties.
- Shippers planning a repeat cross-border supply route.
Service scope and operating requirements
How the service is planned
Review the route
Start with the countries, cargo-ready date, final destination, and intended delivery window.
Define the handovers

Confirm the movement
Proceed after route availability, cargo acceptance, price, and the scope of service have been agreed.
What affects the quotation?
The quote should reflect the full agreed scope: transport legs, handovers, border-related activities, and any applicable waiting or handling arrangements. Do not assume that a freight price includes duties, taxes, or all third-party charges.

- Origin and destination countries and addresses.
- Commodity, packaging, gross weight, and dimensions.
- Available commercial documents and proposed trade terms.

Frequently asked questions
Which countries are served?
The available route must be confirmed for your enquiry. This page does not claim a fixed list of countries or border crossings.
Does freight pricing include duties and taxes?
Do not assume it does. The quote and commercial responsibilities must clearly identify any included charges and exclusions.
Can delivery dates be fixed before the route is reviewed?
The route, border processes, cargo acceptance, and connecting transport need assessment before a delivery commitment is agreed.
