Air, road, sea and ferry from Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda to Türkiye (Turkey), Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Trucks reach Türkiye in 4–6 days on a route that stays inside the EU to the border. We manage your exports end-to-end.
Lithuania is the southern gateway of the Baltic states. The Port of Klaipėda, the northernmost ice-free port on the eastern Baltic, handles containers, bulk and ro-ro ferries to Germany and Sweden, while Kaunas and Vilnius serve as the country's inland logistics and intermodal hubs, linked to Poland by the standard-gauge section of Rail Baltica. Vilnius Airport (VNO) is the main air gateway. By road, the Via Baltica connects Lithuania north to Latvia and Estonia and south into Poland. From there, trucks run through Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria to Türkiye without leaving the EU.
As part of the EU–Türkiye Customs Union, most industrial goods move between Lithuania and Türkiye free of customs duty with an A.TR certificate. Food and agricultural goods follow separate rules. From Lithuania, road freight reaches Türkiye in 4–6 days, air cargo reaches Istanbul in 1–2 days, and sea freight via Klaipėda and Northern European transhipment reaches Turkish ports in roughly 18–25 days. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Lithuanian factories: customs, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.
Express and standard air cargo from Vilnius (VNO), Lithuania's main air gateway, with Kaunas (KUN) and Palanga (PLQ) as secondary airports and additional uplift via Warsaw, Riga or Istanbul when capacity requires. Best for time-sensitive, high-value or small-volume shipments such as lasers and electronics, spare parts and samples. Door-to-door service including customs clearance at origin and destination.
FTL (full truck load) and LTL (part load / groupage) across Europe and to Türkiye. Door-to-door from any Lithuanian loading point, south on the Via Baltica into Poland and on through Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, a route that stays inside the EU all the way to the Turkish border. North, Riga and Tallinn are within a day's drive. Tilt, mega and refrigerated trailers available, with A.TR handling for the Türkiye corridor.
FCL and LCL ocean freight via Klaipėda, with truck or rail pre-carriage from your site. Klaipėda connects to deep-sea services mainly through transhipment in Northern European hubs such as Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Gdańsk, giving access to Türkiye, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. 20' and 40' ISO containers, including reefers.
Ro-ro and ro-pax ferries link Klaipėda with Kiel and Karlshamn, a practical route for trailers bound for Germany, Western Europe and Scandinavia. Rail runs from the intermodal terminals in Kaunas and Vilnius, including the standard-gauge Rail Baltica link toward Poland, for heavy and high-volume loads. We combine ferry and rail legs with road collection and delivery and confirm schedules before booking.
For urgent cargo, air freight is the fastest option: Vilnius (VNO) connects with Istanbul in 1–2 days door-to-door. For full and part loads, road freight typically reaches Türkiye in 4–6 days on a route that stays inside the EU all the way to the Turkish border. Sea freight from Klaipėda to Turkish ports usually moves via transhipment in Northern Europe and runs roughly 18–25 days port-to-port. Transit times are indicative and depend on routing and sailing schedules.
Road freight (FTL and LTL groupage) from Lithuania to Türkiye typically takes 4–6 days. Trucks leave on the Via Baltica into Poland, then run south through Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, broadly the line of the developing Via Carpatia corridor, and enter Türkiye at Kapıkule. The whole route stays inside the EU until the Turkish border, so there is no third-country transit. Times are indicative and depend on the loading region, the Turkish destination and border waiting times. Air freight is 1–2 days for urgent cargo.
Lithuania and Türkiye both sit inside the EU–Türkiye Customs Union for industrial and processed goods, which means most manufactured products, such as furniture, plastics, machinery and electronics, move between the two countries free of customs duty with an A.TR movement certificate. Agricultural and fishery goods such as dairy and fish, as well as ECSC (coal/steel) products, fall outside the Customs Union. They are handled under separate rules: a EUR.1 where a preference applies, plus health certificates for food. We advise on the correct certificates for your cargo before you ship.
Air: Vilnius (VNO), the main gateway, with Kaunas (KUN) and Palanga (PLQ) as secondary airports. Sea: Klaipėda, the northernmost ice-free port on the eastern Baltic, for containers, ro-ro ferries and bulk. Rail and logistics: intermodal terminals in Kaunas and Vilnius, and the standard-gauge Rail Baltica section between Kaunas and the Polish border. Pickup is available from any region, including Vilnius, Kaunas and central Lithuania, Klaipėda and the coast, and Šiauliai and Panevėžys in the north.
Yes. Ro-ro and ro-pax ferries link Klaipėda with Kiel in Germany and Karlshamn in Sweden, a practical route for trailers heading to Western Europe and Scandinavia. Rail runs from the intermodal terminals in Kaunas and Vilnius, including the standard-gauge Rail Baltica link toward Poland, for heavy and high-volume loads. For Türkiye, road remains the main mode, with sea freight via Klaipėda and Northern European transhipment for large volumes. We confirm schedules before booking.
Standard export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, HS classification, electronic export declaration via the EU customs system, and the transport document: CMR (road), bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air). For Türkiye and other Customs Union movements you need an A.TR certificate; for goods outside it, a EUR.1 movement certificate where a preference applies. Because the road route stays inside the EU until the Turkish border, no transit declaration is needed on the way, and food products need health certificates. We advise on documentation and certificates before shipment.
Lithuania's leading non-fuel exports include furniture and wood products, plastics, chemicals and fertilisers, food products such as dairy and processed fish, machinery and electrical equipment, and high-tech goods such as lasers and electronics. Furniture and industrial loads move by road, high-tech goods by air, and bulk and large-volume consignments by sea through Klaipėda.
