Sri Lanka's written history dates back over three thousand years and evidence shows human settlements have been present for at least 125,000 years, giving the area an abundance of natural and man-made history. Today Sri Lanka is a member of the United Nations, G77 and the Commonwealth, and is one of only two South Asian countries rated “high” on the Human Development Index. Colombo is the largest city in the nation with over 5.6 million people in the metropolitan area and is both the financial and tourist centre of the county. The nation's capital is Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, located in the metropolitan area of Colombo and is home to the Legislative and Judicial processes. Due to the large harbour on the western front, there are many sea ports offering cost effective sea freight options into the nation.

If your consignment exceeds 200cm in height and if it's heavier than 750kg, then yes, you must have a forklift at both collection and delivery points.

Both air freight and sea freight services are available.

You can ship from 1 single pallet to full container loads. If your consignment is urgent, and is not larger than 160cm in height, air freight offers the quickest transit times.
