LOGISTICS CONSULTING & ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT

Independent consulting and administrative support for businesses moving freight internationally, based in Hong Kong.
Our story
It’s not about us — it’s about you.
We believe in empowering people to empower business. Kristotrans works alongside importers and exporters to bring clarity, structure, and an extra layer of oversight to their freight operations.

Based in Hong Kong, we combine hands-on industry experience with an independent, client-first approach — helping businesses navigate international freight without the overhead of building that expertise in-house.

Built around
alignment, visibility & accountability

Our approach is simple:
Align with your objectives, take accountability across every stage, and deliver success with measurable outcomes.
We work alongside the systems and platforms our clients and their carriers already use, adding a layer of review, structure, and accountability rather than introducing new tools to learn.

We believe in alignment — a united strategy between our people, partners, and clients. We remain flexible in how we deliver, designing supply chain solutions that are commercially sound, operationally robust, and built to scale with your business.

Freight & Shipping

How do I choose between airfreight and seafreight? 

Airfreight is faster but more expensive, while seafreight is more cost-effective for larger or less time-sensitive shipments. We assess your requirements and recommend the optimal solution.

What shipping methods do you offer?

We advise on the right mix of airfreight, seafreight (FCL & LCL), breakbulk, RO/RO, and multimodal options for your shipment.

Do you handle door-to-door shipments?

Yes, we can coordinate door-to-door logistics on your behalf, working with your carriers and agents to manage pickup, customs clearance, and final delivery.

Can you handle urgent or time-critical shipments?

Yes, we can advise on expedited and priority freight options and help coordinate urgent cargo with your carriers.

Customs & Compliance

Do you provide customs clearance services?

We provide administrative support for customs documentation and work alongside licensed customs brokers to manage import and export clearances efficiently.

What documents are required for international shipping?

Typical documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, and any applicable permits or certificates depending on the cargo.

Can you assist with import permits and quarantine requirements?

Yes, we can advise on and help prepare import permits, biosecurity requirements, and inspection documentation.

Do you provide advice on tariffs and duties?

Yes, we provide guidance on HS classification, duties, taxes, and trade compliance requirements.

Pricing & Quotations

How is freight pricing calculated?

Pricing depends on factors such as shipment size, weight, origin, destination, mode of transport, and current market conditions.

Can you provide fixed quotes? 

We provide both spot quotes and contract rates depending on your shipping volume and requirements.

Are there any additional charges I should be aware of? 

Additional charges may include customs duties, taxes, terminal handling charges, and any special handling or compliance costs.

Warehousing & Logistics Solutions

Do you offer warehousing and 3PL services?

We don't operate warehouses ourselves, but we can advise on warehousing and 3PL options and help coordinate with the right storage and fulfilment partners for your needs.

Can you integrate with our systems? 

We can work alongside the systems and platforms you already use to support visibility and coordination.

Do you offer cross-docking or warehouse bypass solutions?

We can advise on cross-docking and warehouse bypass strategies to help minimise storage time and reduce costs, working with your existing warehouse partners.

Vendor & Carrier Coordination & Specialised Freight

What equipment do you use for project cargo?

Project cargo typically requires flat racks, open-top containers, breakbulk vessels, RO/RO services, or charter solutions — we help assess which option fits your shipment and coordinate with the right carriers.

‍

Do you manage permits and route planning?

Yes, we help assess routes and coordinate permits, escort requirements, and compliance for oversized cargo with the relevant authorities and carriers.

Can you handle oversized or heavy cargo?

We provide advisory support for project cargo, including out-of-gauge (OOG) and heavy lift shipments, coordinating with specialist carriers.

Tracking & Communication

How do you handle delays or disruptions?

We proactively communicate issues and provide alternative solutions to minimise impact on your supply chain.

‍

Who will manage my shipments?

You will have a dedicated point of contact who coordinates with your carriers and agents on your behalf.

Can I track my shipment?

How do I request a quote?

You can contact us via our website, email, or phone with your shipment details.

Risk, Insurance & Reliability

Are you licensed and accredited?

We follow relevant regulatory and industry standards, and work alongside licensed brokers and carriers where formal accreditation is required.

How do you ensure cargo safety?

We work with vetted carriers and implement strict handling, compliance, and risk management procedures.
