Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a forwarder and a broker?+
A domestic freight broker arranges trucking within the US; a freight forwarder coordinates international, multi-modal shipments including ocean/air and customs. We do both.
What are Incoterms and which should I use?+
Incoterms define who pays for and controls each leg of an international move. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is simplest for the buyer; we'll recommend the right term for your shipment.
Do you handle customs clearance?+
Yes — through licensed customs-broker partners. HS classification and duty/tax calculation are part of the service.
How long does ocean vs air take?+
Air is typically a few days door to door; ocean is weeks but far cheaper per pound. We'll quote both so you can choose.
