FAQ
International Shipping Questions
Do you handle customs clearance?
Yes — we prepare and file the documentation and coordinate clearance on both the export and import side.
How long does international shipping take?
Air freight is typically a few days; ocean freight is several weeks. We give you a realistic transit time with every quote.
What’s the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL is a full container dedicated to your cargo; LCL shares a container with other shipments to save cost on smaller loads.
Who pays the duties and taxes?
It depends on your Incoterms — we explain the options and make sure the terms match your deal.
Can you ship to hard-to-reach countries?
Yes. With 35+ years and 220+ countries served, we reach destinations most carriers won’t quote.
