The planning of international freight transport is one of the most important tasks carried out in transport companies. The aim of this publication is to improve the process of planning international transport by creating a generalized model presented on an example in Europe and a decision-making model developed for it. In the field of research methods, the methods of observation of transport service providers and analysis of existing data were used. As a result of the work, a generalised model of the freight planning process was developed and the optimal solution for the choice of transport option was presented. From the developed decision-making model, it can be concluded that if transport is made by land and sea using hired means of transport, it should be eliminated. The optimal result of the decision analysis may be that if the transport takes place using an external forwarding company, the choice of the transport process and the determination of the type of transport remains unknown. Thanks to the applications contained in the article, both transport companies and manufacturing companies can make a decision on the choice of international freight transport services in a simple and transparent way.
