Active Operation • Regulatory Rigor

What is Road Freight & Bonded Drayage?

Inland and cross-border trucking operations moving containerized and palletized cargo between ports, airports, bonded terminals, and factory floors.

How ATTHOS COMEX Operates

ATTHOS COMEX coordinates inland trucking in exact sync with customs clearance. We monitor vessel berth schedules to dispatch drayage trucks the moment clearance certificates are issued.

🎯Who is this solution for?

  • Importers moving ocean containers from Paranaguá, Santos, Itapoá, and Itajaí terminals
  • Industrial plants transferring bonded cargo under DTA to inland dry ports (EADI)
  • Exporters shipping overland freight to Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile
  • Companies requiring dedicated road transport compliant with strict Risk Management Plans (PGR)

🛡️What challenges do we eliminate?

  • Terminal gate delays generating expensive container demurrage penalties
  • Shortage of specialized equipment (chassis trailers, drop decks, cranes)
  • Highway security risks and stringent Risk Management Plan (PGR) compliance
  • Border crossing bottlenecks on international transport documents (MIC-DTA, CRT)

Frequently asked questions about Road Freight & Bonded Drayage

What is Customs Transit (DTA)?

DTA allows moving imported goods from an entry seaport to an inland bonded warehouse (dry port) with duties suspended until final customs clearance.

Why is prompt empty container return essential?

Carriers grant a limited free time. Exceeding it incurs hefty detention fees in USD per day. We manage empty drop-offs promptly.

Does ATTHOS provide cross-border trucking to Mercosur?

Yes, we handle overland freight to Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile with all necessary international transport documents.
