The right mode depends on volume, value and urgency. We quote both when it is close.

| Sea FCL | Full container loads, machinery, building materials | Le Havre · Fos-Marseille | 8 to 16 days port to port |
| Sea LCL (groupage) | A few pallets or cartons, from about 1 m³ | Le Havre · Fos-Marseille | Consolidation plus sea transit |
| Air freight | Urgent, high-value or light cargo, spare parts | Paris CDG | 1 to 3 days |
Indicative times, not a commitment. Your quote states the exact routing and cut-off dates.
