Global Freight Forwarding, Custom Brokerage & Intermodal Logistics
Samer & Misa Sh.p.k. serves as the premier gateway linking Albania's developing transport corridors with the global supply chain. By directly leveraging the historic, century-old network of the Samer Group (headquartered in Trieste, Italy, since 1919), we provide seamless, end-to-end intermodal freight forwarding. Operating from our central logistics hub in Durrës, we connect maritime sea-freight lanes with European road and rail networks, providing importers, exporters, and international manufacturers with reliable, highly optimized transit routes throughout the Balkan Peninsula and Central Europe.
Our dedicated forwarding division handles the complex challenges of modern global shipping with absolute precision. We offer comprehensive Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) sea-freight solutions, flexible overland trailer services, and specialized project cargo management for oversized industrial goods. Backed by our deeply experienced in-house customs brokerage team, we eliminate border delays by managing all transit clearances, customs declarations, and duty documentation under strict compliance with European and national regulations.

Yes, we have an expert in-house customs brokerage team. We handle import, export, and transit customs clearance procedures directly at all primary trade entry points in Albania.

For large shipments, we coordinate Full Container Load (FCL) transport utilizing standard 20ft, 40ft, and high-cube dry containers, as well as specialized equipment like open-tops, flat racks, and temperature-controlled reefers.

We have successfully managed complex logistics for oversized equipment, industrial machinery, and structural materials for key infrastructure projects in Albania. Our services include initial route feasibility studies, securing local police escort permits, arranging specialized low-bed or heavy-lift trailers, and managing safe vessel loading or unloading.
Bonded transit allows cargo arriving at an Albanian port (like Durrës) to travel through the country without paying local duties or taxes, provided it is destined for another nation (such as Kosovo, North Macedonia, or Serbia). We regularly manage these high-security transit clearances (using T1/T2 declarations or TIR Carnets), securing the cargo bonds and ensuring the goods move smoothly to regional inland customs offices for final clearance.
