Air, road, sea and rail from Ljubljana, Koper, Maribor and Celje to Türkiye (Turkey), Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Trucks reach Istanbul in 3–5 days via the Balkan corridor. We manage your exports end-to-end.
Slovenia is small but sits on two major freight axes. The Port of Koper, the country's only seaport, is one of the main Adriatic gateways for Central Europe, handling containers and vehicles for Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and beyond, with rail links carrying much of that traffic inland through Ljubljana and Maribor. Ljubljana Airport (LJU) handles air cargo, with additional capacity via Vienna and Munich by road feeder. By road, Slovenia connects west to Italy, north to Austria and east through Croatia toward Serbia and Türkiye. Because Serbia is outside the EU, that leg runs under transit procedures, and an all-EU route through Hungary and Romania is available when preferred.
As part of the EU–Türkiye Customs Union, most industrial goods move between Slovenia and Türkiye free of customs duty with an A.TR certificate. Food and agricultural goods follow separate rules. From Slovenia, road freight reaches Türkiye in 3–5 days, air cargo reaches Istanbul in 1–2 days, and sea services from Koper reach Turkish ports in roughly 7–14 days port-to-port. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Slovenian factories: customs, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.
Express and standard air cargo from Ljubljana (LJU), with additional capacity via Vienna and Munich by road feeder service when volumes or routing require. Best for time-sensitive, high-value or small-volume shipments such as pharmaceuticals, automotive parts and electronics. 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 Slovenian loading point, east through Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria under transit procedures, or on an all-EU route through Hungary and Romania. Austria, northern Italy and Croatia 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 Koper, Slovenia's only seaport, with truck or rail pre-carriage from your site. Koper is a major Adriatic container and vehicle gateway, with services to Turkish ports, the Middle East and Asia, directly or via Mediterranean transhipment. 20' and 40' ISO containers, including reefers.
Koper's container services and ro-ro crossings from nearby Trieste give containers and trailers a sea route to Türkiye on scheduled sailings. Rail connects Koper with Ljubljana, Maribor and onward to Austria, Hungary and Central Europe, suited to heavy, bulk and high-volume loads. We combine sea and rail legs with road collection and delivery and confirm schedules before booking.
Road freight is often the fastest practical option for full and part loads: trucks from Ljubljana reach Istanbul in 3–5 days through Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria. Air freight from Ljubljana (LJU) to Istanbul is 1–2 days door-to-door for express cargo, with extra capacity via nearby hubs such as Vienna and Munich. Sea freight from Koper to Turkish ports runs roughly 7–14 days port-to-port depending on the service. Transit times are indicative and depend on routing and border conditions.
Road freight (FTL and LTL groupage) from Slovenia to Türkiye typically takes 3–5 days. The usual route runs from Ljubljana through Zagreb and along the Slavonian motorway, then through Serbia and Bulgaria to the Kapıkule crossing. Serbia is outside the EU, so that leg travels under transit procedures (NCTS or TIR); when a fully EU route is preferred, trucks can run through Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria instead, usually with a longer transit. Times are indicative and depend on the loading region, the Turkish destination and border waiting times.
Slovenia and Türkiye both sit inside the EU–Türkiye Customs Union for industrial and processed goods, which means most manufactured products, such as pharmaceuticals, vehicles and parts, household appliances and metal products, move between the two countries free of customs duty with an A.TR movement certificate. Agricultural goods such as fresh produce, dairy and wine, 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: Ljubljana (LJU), with additional capacity via Vienna and Munich by road feeder service when required. Sea: Koper, Slovenia's only seaport and a major Adriatic container and vehicle gateway for Central Europe. Rail: the Koper–Ljubljana–Maribor line, which carries much of the port's inland traffic toward Austria, Hungary and beyond. Pickup is available from any region, including Ljubljana and central Slovenia, Maribor and the north-east, Celje, Novo Mesto and the south-east, and the coast around Koper.
Yes. Container services from Koper connect with Turkish ports, directly or via Mediterranean transhipment, in roughly 7–14 days, and Koper's deep-sea calls link Slovenia with the Middle East and Asia. For trailers, ro-ro crossings from Trieste, just across the Italian border, run to Turkish ports on scheduled sailings. Rail links Koper and Ljubljana with Austria, Hungary and Central Europe for heavy and bulk cargo. We combine these with road legs at both ends and 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. When the truck transits Serbia, a transit declaration (NCTS or TIR carnet) is also required, and food products need health certificates. We advise on documentation and certificates before shipment.
Slovenia's leading exports include pharmaceuticals, vehicles and automotive parts, electrical machinery and household appliances, metal and aluminium products, and wood and paper products. Pharmaceuticals move mostly by air and temperature-controlled road, automotive and industrial loads by road and rail, and large-volume consignments by sea through Koper.
