Groupage Container Paraguay – How does it work?
Overseas crate/liftvan for export
Transport partial load / additional load
The procedure of groupage transport allows you a more affordable move. By sensibly consolidating multiple shipments in a groupage container (Shared Container), the space in the container is optimally utilized, and your moving costs are reduced.
OTC Global GmbH guarantees that your items will arrive safely and quickly in Asuncion. Our team will advise you on transport insurance, import regulations, and customs regulations for Paraguay.
Procedure for the groupage container
Your goods or moving items are securely stored in sea crates, lift vans, and cartons, and then consolidated with the freight of other customers into a full container load in our warehouse in Berlin-Wilhelmsruh.
We then transport the full groupage container by truck and ship to our warehouse in Asuncion/Paraguay. Upon arrival of your partial load, you can either pick it up or commission us to transport it further to your destination.

GROUPAGE CONTAINER TO PARAGUAY – FOR WHOM?
Whether a groupage container is the best solution for your move or transport to Paraguay depends on which factors are important to you:
- If it is primarily important to you to bring your small additional load to Paraguay as cost-effectively as possible, then a groupage container is the right choice.
- For example, if you are planning a move with relatively few household goods, which do not fill the majority of the container volume, a partial load in a groupage container may make sense for you. Typically, this involves a volume of up to about 12 cubic meters (12m³). Even in such cases, the groupage container is usually the more sensible option, as the costs are significantly lower compared to a direct partial shipment (immediate partial load at the port).
- If the duration of the transport of your goods, with the aforementioned volume of goods, is a priority, transport as a direct partial shipment would be helpful. Although this option is significantly more expensive, your goods are shipped at the port in the next possible combination, thereby reducing the average time spent.
- Air freight, Fast transport to Paraguay, Express shipment
In exceptional cases, when it must be very quick for small transport volumes (max. 1m³ – 2m³), air freight will be the most obvious option. - For volumes from 12 cubic meters, it is often more economical to book a complete container. By using your own container, your goods can also be shipped earlier.
The method of the groupage container is also environmentally friendly. By consolidating the items from several customers into one container, unnecessary empty runs and the use of additional containers are avoided. So, you not only save costs but also help to reduce the environmental impact of freight traffic.
- Our groupage container offer is the perfect solution if you are looking for a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly transport of your goods. Together, we will determine the technical and economic requirements of your project, so you can find the best option for your move to Paraguay.
