Arrange European supplier pickup enquiries with postcode, pallet details, Incoterm, export handling and air or sea freight to East Africa.
From the supplier’s premises to your destination plan.
Coordinate supplier pickup through the European partner network. Collection quotes need an exact postcode, loading arrangements and cargo readiness. EXW and FCA place different responsibilities on buyer and seller; agree export handling and loading responsibilities before booking.
Start at the supplier’s premises.
Confirm the collection postcode, ready date, loading support and EXW or FCA responsibilities before arranging pickup.

Arrange the supplier handover before the freight booking
Sheffield coordinates European collection enquiries through overseas handling partners. Send the complete collection address, supplier contact, opening hours, packed-piece details and the ready date. Confirm whether loading equipment is available and who prepares the origin export documents.
The agreed sale terms determine responsibilities, but the written service proposal must identify exactly which origin tasks Sheffield’s coordination includes. A supplier saying “ready” is not enough if the packing list, collection appointment or export instructions are still incomplete. Kenya arrival clearance and inland delivery should be planned alongside the origin movement.

Questions about this service
What is needed for an EXW or FCA enquiry?
Provide the Incoterm with its named place, the supplier’s collection instructions and the intended transport mode. Sheffield then reviews collection, loading and origin clearance responsibilities for the proposed scope.
Can freight be confirmed before final packing?
An initial estimate can be reviewed, but final dimensions and gross weights are needed for a reliable transport assessment. Revised packing may change the quoted chargeable weight or vehicle requirement.
