🌍 From Fine Art to Heavy Machinery – We Move It All!

At IFS, every shipment matters, whether it's a valuable sculpture heading to Mallorca or an oversized machinery project bound for Egypt.

Recently, our Sheffield office arranged the collection, bespoke crating and international shipment of sculptures from Yorkshire Sculpture Park to Mallorca, ensuring they arrived safely at their new home.

Meanwhile, our Bradford office managed the export of "Big Bertha" – a large machinery shipment loaded onto a flat rack container and shipped to Egypt as part of a specialist project cargo movement.

These projects demonstrate what we do best – providing tailored logistics solutions for cargo of all shapes and sizes.

✅ Fine Art & Exhibition Logistics
✅ Export Packing & Bespoke Crating
✅ Oversized & Project Cargo
✅ Air, Sea & Road Freight
✅ Worldwide Shipping Solutions

No cargo too small. No project too large.

From Sheffield to Bradford and beyond, we're excited for what the future holds.

🚢✈️🚛 Still Confused by Incoterms? You’re Not Alone.

One of the biggest issues we see with importers and exporters is uncertainty around who is responsible for what during the shipping process.

From collection and customs clearance to freight costs, insurance, duties, and final delivery — misunderstanding Incoterms can lead to:
❌ Unexpected charges
❌ Delays at customs
❌ Disputes between buyer and seller
❌ Costly shipping mistakes

Our latest Incoterms guide breaks down exactly where the seller’s responsibility ends and the buyer’s begins across the full door-to-door freight journey.

Whether you’re shipping by:
✈️ Air Freight
🚛 Road Freight
🚢 Ocean Freight

…understanding terms like EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP, and DDP is essential for smooth international trade.

At International Freight Solutions, we help businesses simplify global shipping every day — without the jargon headache.

📩 If you’re unsure which Incoterm is right for your shipment, get in touch with our team.
