The import service focuses on building direct service. As many as 25 ports of origin are building consolidation containers on a weekly basis to Gothenburg. These ports are served as hubs for many different origins, which have been pre-transported to the hubs. Today, Nordicon offers close to 300 import origins.

When import consolidation containers arrive at the Nordicon bonded warehouse, the cargo is "tagged" with a barcode and given an arrival status (Event Chain).

Event status is also given to the cargo when it is unloaded, when it has left the warehouse and when it has been delivered to the final destination. All this information is presented on Nordicon homepage under Event Chain.
