Using FCL shipping is beneficial for large volume shipments, particularly when you have more than 13\/14\/15 CBM of cargo. This high utilization of space results in cheaper FCL shipping quotes on a per-unit basis.<br>FCL shipping elevates security as the container remains sealed from the point of origin to the final destination, reducing the risk of theft or damage in transit. For instance, a manufacturer of machinery parts in Chicago shipping a high volume of expensive precision parts to Bratislava would find value in selecting an FCL container.<br>However, cost implications should be considered. While the per-unit cost is lower, your upfront expense for the entire FCL container is larger than if opting for a shared LCL (Less than Container Load). So, it's critical to balance volume, security, and monetary factors when considering FCL shipping between the US and Slovakia.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Less than Container Load\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/ocean-freight\/#:~:text=LCL%20Freight,by%20LCL.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LCL, or Less than Container Load<\/a>, as the term suggests, is a shipment method where your cargo shares space in a container with goods from other consigners. This shipping method is commonly used for smaller shipments and is handled by a consolidator.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use: <\/strong>Choosing LCL shipping between the US and Slovakia becomes advantageous when your cargo volume is less than 13\/14\/15 CBM. Not only does it provide a cost-friendly solution by only paying for the space you use, but also offers flexibility for low-volume shippers who don't need a full container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example: <\/strong>Consider a Slovakian manufacturer of high-quality glass ornaments wanting to test the US market. They start with a small quantity, perhaps filling not more than 10 CBM. For them, LCL shipment would be optimal, helping to save costs while ensuring safe and efficient transport of fragile goods.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications: <\/strong>The cost of LCL shipping is based on the volume of goods, meaning you pay proportionally for the space you use, making it more cost-effective for smaller shipments. However, the LCL freight cost might include additional charges such as handling fees at the destination, which should not be overlooked.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">With freight forwarding simplified, DocShipper takes the stress out of international shipping.

For express air freight, it&#8217;s deemed at 200 kg per cubic meter. If you have a crate that&#8217;s 1.5 cubic meters, it will be seen as 250.5kg (or 551.2 lbs) for air cargo, and 300kg (or 661.4 lbs) for express air freight.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Why do these calculations matter? Your freight charges are based on the higher of the two weights. If you have a large package that&#8217;s very light, you might be charged by its volumetric weight instead of the actual weight, thus making it crucial to know both.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-539235b9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"539235b9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"door-to-door-dg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf279127 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cf279127\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da01bac3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da01bac3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between US and Slovakia<\/h2><br><p>Think of <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/door-to-door-shipping-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">door-to-door shipping<\/a> as your personal courier between the US and Slovakia, ensuring your shipment\u2019s journey is seamless from origin to destination.

At the outset, there are several elements at play in calculating these charges &#8211; your product&#8217;s country of origin, its Harmonized System (HS) Code, Customs Value, the Applicable Tariff Rate, and the possible slew of other taxes and fees unique to your product.<\/p><br><p>To embark on this journey, the compass points first towards identifying the country where the goods had their inception, that is, where they were manufactured or produced. This simple piece of information helps lay the groundwork for the entire customs process, acting as your first step in navigating the vast sea of international shipping.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15e21dea e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"15e21dea\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e71c2afa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e71c2afa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3><br><p>Knowing your product&#8217;s <strong>Country of Origin<\/strong> is crucial, here&#8217;s why:<\/p><br><p><strong>1. Trade Agreement Impact:<\/strong> The U.S. and Slovakia are both part of the World Trade Organization. There\u2019s a most-favored-nation (MFN) agreement, which reduces tariffs. That means the country of origin affects your duty rate.<\/p><br><p><strong>2. HS Code Relevance:<\/strong> Country of Origin determines the Harmonized System (HS) code for your product. This internationally standardized system classifies traded products and determines duty rates.<\/p><br><p><strong>3. Anti-dumping &#038; Countervailing Duties:<\/strong> Slovakia applies these extra duties on goods considered to be unfairly priced. Identifying the country of origin helps to avoid unexpected additional charges.<\/p><br><p><strong>4. Import Restrictions:<\/strong> Some U.S. goods may face import restrictions in Slovakia, and vice versa. Be sure to review these to prevent logistics hurdles.<\/p><br><p><strong>5. Consumer Preference:<\/strong> Slovak customers might prefer U.S. products. Transparency about origin can boost your product appeal.<\/p><br><p>A tip for you: Always verify the Country of Origin at the start. It can save you from navigating through unexpected costs and logistical hitches. Keep abreast of changes in trade regulations for smooth sailing in your shipping journey.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-743e6ae0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"743e6ae0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-904199f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"904199f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 2 &#8211; Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3><br><p><strong>The Harmonized System (HS) Code<\/strong> is a universally recognized system of names and numbers designed to classify traded products. Developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO), the harmonized system code is instrumental in determining how much customs duty should be charged on an item. It&#8217;s essential to get the correct HS code for your product as it assists customs officers to identify goods when they cross the border, and levy proper taxes and duties.<\/p><br><p><strong>If you&#8217;re unsure of the HS code for your product, your first port of call should usually be your supplier. They tend to be familiar with the products they&#8217;re exporting and the associated regulations.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>However, if this information isn&#8217;t easily available through your supplier, there&#8217;s no cause for concern. You can find the HS code for your product by following these steps:<\/p><br><p>1. Visit the Harmonized Tariff Schedule at <a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/<\/a>.<br \/><br>2. Enter your product&#8217;s name in the search bar.<br \/><br>3. Check the Heading\/Subheading column for the HS code.<\/p><br><p>Note: Accuracy is key in this process. A correct HS code ensures a smooth customs clearance process, while an incorrect code could lead to significant delays and even fines. Always double-check to ensure you have the right code for your product.<\/p><br><p>Here&#8217;s an infographic showing you how to read an HS code.

It&#8217;s not just the price tag on your goods; it&#8217;s the total worth when they arrive on Slovak soil. Rather than the product&#8217;s market price, we&#8217;re talking about the CIF value (Cost, Insurance &#038; Freight). This includes the original price of the products, the freight fee for international shipping, and any insurance costs you&#8217;ve chalked up during this process.<\/p><br><p>For example, if you&#8217;re shipping electronics priced at <strong>$5000<\/strong>, with shipping costs at <strong>$1000<\/strong>, and insurance amounting to <strong>$300<\/strong>, your customs value is <strong>$6300<\/strong>, not<strong> $5000<\/strong>. This is the base for calculating any import duties. Remember, accurate calculations can save you unexpected charges and clearance delays. It&#8217;s crucial to get it right!<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4756a3cf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4756a3cf\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa0ac0cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa0ac0cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>An import tariff, also known as a customs duty, is a tax imposed on goods crossing international borders. For goods imported to Slovakia from the US, you will follow the European Union (EU) regulations, as Slovakia is part of the EU.<\/p><br><p>To identify the applicable import tariff, utilize the TARIC System &#8211; European Customs tool. This online consultation offers a straightforward method for accessing pertinent data. Here&#8217;s your action plan: input the Harmonized System (HS) code &#8211; previously identified &#8211; and the country of origin. You can then see the duties and taxes applied to your product.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s illustrate this with a practical example. Supposedly, you&#8217;re importing roller bearings with the HS code <strong>8482200000<\/strong> from the US. After entering these details into the TARIC system, it returns a duty rate of <strong>8%<\/strong>. Assuming the Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) value of your goods is <strong>$10,000<\/strong>, your calculation for import duty is <strong>8%<\/strong> of <strong>$10,000<\/strong>, which equals <strong>$800<\/strong>. So, you&#8217;ll pay <strong>$800<\/strong> as customs duty when importing those roller bearings to Slovakia.<\/p><br><p>Whether you&#8217;re a first-time exporter or expanding your operations to Slovakia, understanding and accurately calculating tariffs is key to minimizing costs and challenges and optimizing your supply chain.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2293d024 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2293d024\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-725f3971 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"725f3971\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>In addition to a standard tariff rate, often there are other import duties based on the country origin and product nature. Take for instance Excise Duty, usually applicable to items like alcohol, fuel, or tobacco. Then, there are Anti-dumping Taxes designed to protect domestic industries from foreign competitors undercutting prices.<\/p><br><p>But it&#8217;s the Value Added Tax (VAT) that significantly influences your total landed cost. In Slovakia, the standard VAT rate is <strong>20%<\/strong>; however, certain goods might qualify for a reduced rate of<strong> 10%<\/strong>.<\/p><br><p>Here&#8217;s a simplified formula to better illustrate this:<br \/><br>(Value of goods + Standard Import Duty + Excise Duty if applicable x VAT rate )<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s imagine you&#8217;re importing goods valued at $5000 with a standard duty of $500, and no Excise Duty applies. Then, the VAT would calculate as ( $5000 + $500 ) 20% = $1100.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>We&#8217;ve used an illustrative case here, and it&#8217;s recommended that you verify the current rates for accuracy. Understanding these extra costs upfront helps better plan your budget and choose the most cost-efficient way of shipping.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74e923fb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"74e923fb\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fbc27aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8fbc27aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>Calculating customs duties can be complex, but here&#8217;s a simplified formula: (Customs Value + Freight + Insurance) Duty Rate = Customs Duty. Remember, the Duty Rate varies based on product type.<\/p><br><p>First, a situation without VAT. Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re shipping electronics from the US to Slovakia. <strong>Given a Customs Value of $10,000, a freight charge of $500, and an insurance cost of $100, the Duty Rate for electronics is 0%. Thus, your Customs Duty would total $0.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Next up, VAT. Suppose you&#8217;re importing ceramic tiles, with a Customs Value of $15,000, $1000 for freight and $500 for insurance. The Duty Rate is 6.5%, and Slovakia&#8217;s VAT rate is 20%. Your Customs Duty is ($15,000 + $1,000 + $500) 6.5% = $1,117.50 and VAT is ($15,000 + $1,000 + $500 + $1,117.50) 20% = $3,523.50.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Lastly, let&#8217;s include anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty. Importing spirits (500l), with a Customs Value of $50,000, freight $1500 and insurance $800, the Duty Rate is 10%, Anti-Dumping Tax is 48.5%, Excise Duty is $2\/l, and VAT is 20%. Customs Duty is ($50,000 + $1,500 + $800) 10% = $5,230, VAT is ($50,000 + $1,500 + $800 + $5,230 + $48,500 + $1,000) 20% = $21,306, and Anti-Dumping Tax is $48,500.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>As you can see, customs duties can get complicated quickly, let DocShipper handle it for you.

It allows EU customs to track your imports and exports, smoothing your journey through customs clearance.<\/p><br><p>You can apply for it via the respective EU member state&#8217;s customs website. In Slovakia&#8217;s case, aim your sights on Slovakia&#8217;s custom department website. Be patient, though, as registration can take a few days. But remember, it&#8217;s a one-time process with long-term benefits.

Both nations have witnessed significant growth over the years, especially in sectors like automotive, technology, and defense. Key milestones include Slovakia&#8217;s entry to the EU in 2004, which sparked increased US investments, making it one of the top ten investors in Slovakia. Major commodities include vehicles, electronics, and machinery.<\/p><br><p>In fact, in 2022, the automotive industry emerges as a vital link, with Slovakia hosting US-based automaker investments. According to the latest data, the US exported $31 million worth of goods to Slovakia, while imports from Slovakia reached \u00a0$347 million.
