Q: How Do I Select the Right Mode of Transportation?
A: If your top concern is, "How fast can I move freight," air freight is likely the best place to begin. Air freight is the fastest option, but also the most expensive. For example, we can help get your shipment on a Next Flight Out with delivery from 'as soon as possible' to three days later.

Q: What is a Freight Forwarder?
A: A freight forwarder is a company that specializes in helping shippers (often called consignees) arrange for the importing and exporting of their goods. The freight forwarder itself does not actually move your freight, but acts as an intermediary between you and the various transportation carriers you can utilize (i.e. air, ocean, road, rail and/or intermodal).
Freight forwarders have established relationships with carriers, enabling them to recommend the best balance of speed, cost and reliability when moving your goods. They also handle the considerable and sometimes complex, logistics of transporting goods across borders. A good forwarder has extensive knowledge of Customs documentation requirements, country codes and regulations, transportation costs and international banking practices.
Q: What Freight Documentation Do I Need?
A: There are several key documents used in the international shipping process. They define the shipping transaction and provide information for Customs and regulatory compliance.

Commercial Invoice
Shipper's Letter of Instruction (SLI)
Electronic Export Information (EEI)
