Experienced, licensed freight forwarders reduce the risk of delays and product loss by completing every shipping requirement, from packing containers to submitting customs declarations.

To complete deliveries, international freight shippers must work inside all international laws and procedures, including import and export restrictions, and clearing customs. Mistakes on a single document can lead to fines and seizure of the goods derailing your entire shipment.

Licensed international shippers work with the right packaging and containers to protect your goods from damage or theft. They prescreen the third parties transporting the goods, which reduces the likelihood of any security-related issues with your cargo.

Importers are also responsible for ensuring that cargo shipped under their authority is kept secure while in transit and that the documentation accurately describes the goods. Failure to comply can result in fines as well as seizure and destruction of your shipment.

Licensed shippers and carriers understand the changing nature of international ocean and air freight. They can anticipate—and then avoid—delays due to weather, port labor issues, or other concerns to get your goods to their destination as fast as possible.

While stories of lost shipments are mostly anecdotal, the reality is that the wrong container can damage your cargo. Not understanding how international freight shipping works—throughout the entire process—can result in loss or delays in your product’s eventual arrival.

Experienced, licensed international freight shippers can track the progress of your goods and eliminate downtime or delays. Trusted experienced partners can facilitate smaller shipments by combining sea and air transport with other less-than-container loads.

Without experienced international freight experts, shippers are in the dark when it comes to choosing the right shipping container. They’re also left to decide on their own which vendors are reliable and what other exporters they can trust to share their container.
