What we organise for you

Multimodal transport solutions built for reliability.

As a multimodal freight forwarder, we orchestrate every step — by air, sea, road or rail — without physically handling dangerous goods ourselves. Our craft: coordinating the right players, at the right time, with the right documents.

01

Air freight

Export and import by air, departing from and arriving in France: capacity booking with airlines, optimal routing, document issuance (AWB) and tracking. Charter (partial or full), on-board courier and critical shipments when time matters most.

Export / ImportCharterUrgentDoor-to-door
02

Sea freight

Full containers (FCL) and groupage (LCL), conventional and ro-ro. Space booking with shipping lines, Bill of Lading (B/L), port coordination and tracking through to the consignee.

Road transport

Across France and Europe, full (FTL) or part (LTL) loads, door-to-door delivery. Pre- and on-carriage for your air and sea shipments, with CMR consignment note and tracking.

Rail & multimodal

Long-distance rail corridors and combined rail-road — an economical, lower-carbon alternative. We design the combination of modes best suited to your goods, timing and budget.

Documentary advice — AWB, B/L, CMR

Transport documents — Air Waybill (AWB), Bill of Lading (B/L), CMR consignment note — sit at the heart of every shipment. We prepare and verify them, check consistency with commercial papers and advise on mandatory mentions, avoiding blockages and extra costs.

Customs coordination via partners

We are not a customs broker, but we coordinate your clearance with licensed partners. Document transmission, export/import clearance follow-up and a single interface to smooth your border crossing.

E-commerce & cross-border solutions

For merchants and platforms, we structure regular air or sea flows: consolidation, cross-border shipments and fast delivery to your markets. Logistics designed for the demands of international online retail.

Our method

Four steps, one point of contact.

A clear process, from quote request to final delivery.

STEP 01

Scoping

Origin, destination, nature, weight/volume and timing. We qualify your need and identify constraints.

STEP 02

Quote within 24h

A routing, capacity and pricing proposal within 24 business hours, with a transparent scope of service.

STEP 03

Organisation

Booking, documentation (AWB, B/L, CMR) and coordination of customs partners and destination agents.

STEP 04

Tracking & delivery

Shipment tracking and milestones through to final handover. One point of contact, start to finish.

Scope & transparency

A non-handler intermediary — and we say so clearly.

HESTRADE is a transport intermediary: we organise and coordinate, but do not carry out the physical handling of dangerous goods. This clarity protects our clients — each player operates within its own field of expertise and responsibility, in compliance with IATA, maritime and customs regulations.
