Transport Colombia

DSV provides a wide range of transport solutions, including air freight, sea freight, and XPress deliveries. Air freight is ideal for time-sensitive shipments. Sea freight offers a cost-effective solution for large volumes. For urgent deliveries, DSV provides XPress services, where shipments are prioritized to ensure the fastest possible transit time.

Air freight to Colombia typically takes 2 to 7 days, depending on the route and customs clearance. Sea freight from Rotterdam or Antwerp to major Colombian ports such as Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Buenaventura generally take 20 to 35 days, depending on the exact shipping route and weather conditions. With DSV’s advanced track & trace solutions, you can monitor your shipments in real time, ensuring full visibility into their location and transit progress.

Transport costs depend on factors such as volume, weight, shipping method, and import duties. Additional charges may apply due to fuel surcharges, seasonal rate fluctuations, and port or airport fees. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Shipping to Colombia generally requires a commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading (B/L) or Air Waybill (AWB), and, in some cases, a certificate of origin. Certain products, such as pharmaceutical goods, chemicals, and food products, may require additional permits and must comply with the regulations of the Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN) and other government authorities. DSV assists in ensuring fast and accurate customs clearance for your shipments.

For sea freight, the key ports are Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Buenaventura, which have direct connections to Europe, North America, and Asia. For air freight, we use El Dorado International Airport (Bogotá), José María Córdova International Airport (Medellín), and Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (Cali). With our presence in these major logistics hubs, we ensure fast and efficient transport solutions.

Colombia has a strategic location in South America, with access to both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, making it a key hub for international trade. However, the mountainous terrain and tropical rainforests can pose challenges for road and rail transport, particularly in remote areas. Transport through major cities such as Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali is generally efficient, but infrastructure limitations and extreme weather conditions in rural regions can cause delays.

DSV offers multimodal transport solutions, including road, air, and sea freight, to optimize deliveries throughout Colombia. With our extensive network and strategic partnerships, we ensure reliable and efficient logistics operations, regardless of the destination.
