Humanitarian transport to Eastern Europe: how we work

Mission & Relief Logistics functions as a one-stop solution for NGOs, foundations, churches and other humanitarian organizations active in Eastern Europe. Our services go beyond just transport. We offer complete logistics solutions that support the entire process from start to finish.

01

Transport of own or purchased humanitarian goods

Mission & Relief takes care of the transport of your humanitarian goods. Do you have a load of goods for which you are looking for suitable transport? With more than 30 years of experience, we advise on transport options and deliver your goods to their destination. Because we purchase relief goods on a large scale, it is also possible to purchase relief goods from us at considerably lower prices.


02

Transport planning to the country of destination

Our transport planning optimizes the routes, always striving for the most efficient balance between costs, speed and reliability. One of our strongest points is our expertise in last-mile delivery, especially in remote areas where infrastructure is limited. Our partners know the routes and border crossings. We always take the current situation into account to guarantee safe and efficient delivery.


03

Customs documents and storage

We handle all complex customs procedures, with our specialists ensuring correct customs documents that meet the specific requirements of each Eastern European country. The complexity of customs rules in different countries can lead to significant delays without the right expertise. Our specialists are fully aware of the customs requirements that apply to the countries in Eastern Europe.

We also offer storage warehouses where you can temporarily store your goods, even if these goods are under customs supervision. In this warehouse, relief goods, such as clothing, food, medicines and medical equipment, can be temporarily stored pending aid transport.

For international aid transport to Eastern Europe, we use various forms of transport, depending on the urgency, destination and relief supplies to be delivered:

  • Sea transport
    As a cost-effective solution for larger volumes and less time-critical shipments to destinations with access to port facilities
  • Air freight
    For both supply to airports and seaports and for last-mile delivery in countries such as Ukraine and Romania itself

Our logistical approach is always customized, taking into account the specific characteristics of each destination, from the Baltic States to the Balkans and from Central Europe to Eastern Europe.

In recent years, we have successfully carried out aid transport to various Eastern European regions: from food aid and medical assistance in Ukraine to clothing and basic necessities in Romania and Moldova. Thanks to our many years of experience, we can respond flexibly to changing circumstances and always offer customized solutions that match the specific mission of your humanitarian organization.

Support for logistical challenges in Eastern Europe

International aid transport to Eastern Europe presents various challenges that can only be effectively addressed with expertise and local knowledge. Infrastructure problems are one of the biggest obstacles, especially in remote areas where roads are unpaved or impassable seasonally.

Mission & Relief Logistics has built up extensive knowledge of alternative routes and transport methods over the years, enabling us to deliver reliably even in these challenging areas.

Competitive rates and transparent cost structure

At Mission & Relief Logistics, we understand that humanitarian organizations often work with limited budgets, where every saving means that more help can be provided to people in need.

Our competitive rates are based on our many years of experience, efficient processes and strategic partnerships with carriers specializing in Eastern European destinations. Thanks to our volume and expertise, we can negotiate favorable terms that we pass on directly to our customers.

Frequently asked questions about our international aid transport to Eastern Europe

For aid transport to Eastern Europe, we offer three options: air transport for urgent and lightweight shipments, sea transport for larger volumes, and road transport for local distribution or to neighboring countries. The choice depends on your budget, time pressure, and the nature of the relief supplies. We would be happy to advise you on the most suitable option for your specific situation.

Mission & Relief takes care of the complete customs process for aid transport to Eastern Europe. Our documentation specialists prepare all the necessary papers, including 0% VAT invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and any special permits for specific goods such as medicines. We take into account the different requirements per European country and can in many cases make use of special regulations for humanitarian shipments, which leads to faster release and sometimes exemption from import duties.

The costs for aid transport to Eastern Europe vary depending on factors such as weight or volume, destination, urgency and nature of the goods. Request a free quote to have the costs for your humanitarian transport calculated.

The following documents are generally required for aid transport to Eastern Europe: a detailed packing list with a description and value of all goods, pro forma invoices, donation letters (for donated goods), certificates of origin, and in some cases specific permits for regulated products such as medicines or telecommunications equipment. Pre-shipment inspections are required for certain Eastern European countries. Mission & Relief assists in the preparation and obtaining of all necessary documentation and advises you in good time about any country-specific requirements.

Mission & Relief can provide transport of direct emergency aid. But in all honesty, we must say that other specialized organizations, such as the United Nations, World Food Program and Red Cross, are better equipped for this. This in financial terms and in terms of possibilities (own aircraft, own personnel in many countries around the world). We can of course help you with the transport of emergency aid, but are dependent on the situation on site. Please contact us for more information.
