Move freight between Europe and the United States with fast quotes, reliable ocean and air options, and responsive support from Freight Right.

Transatlantic Freight Services for Europe–US Shipping

Freight Right’s transatlantic freight services help businesses move cargo between Europe and the United States by ocean, air, and coordinated inland transportation.

From LCL and FCL shipping to urgent air freight, customs brokerage, project cargo, and final delivery, our team helps you move goods across the Atlantic with clear communication, competitive routing options, and support at every step.

Common Europe–US Trade Lanes

Freight Right supports transatlantic shipping across major European origin and destination markets.

Popular transatlantic lanes include:

  • Germany to US freight shipping

  • Italy to US freight shipping

  • UK to US freight shipping

  • Netherlands to US freight shipping

  • France to US freight shipping

Transatlantic Freight Services at a Glance

For many businesses, ocean freight is the most practical way to move goods between Europe and the United States.

Freight Right helps shippers choose the right ocean freight service based on shipment size, urgency, routing, and cost.

LCL Shipping

LCL is a practical option when your shipment does not require a full container. Freight Right helps consolidate smaller shipments so you can manage cost while still moving freight across key transatlantic lanes.

Use LCL for supplier orders, sample shipments, replacement inventory, smaller commercial loads, and flexible transatlantic freight.
