Food Shipping

Did you know that food retail is a $4T industry? That is a huge piece of the pie that you could be slicing into. Shipping food is essential, rewarding and can be surprisingly complex. It’s essential that you find a customs broker that can tackle all of the nuances and legalities for you. Lots of people have great ideas for products to ship, but get stuck, anxious, and even give up because the whole process seems so difficult, without a trusted team to help answer sticky questions.

Your customs broker should help you find better, more effective ways to save you money, ship your products, and remove friction along the way.

Here are some examples of how

Special certifications and licenses

Food requires special certifications and licenses that without filling them in and filing them accurately and in entirety, you could end up in hot, expensive water. Let us manage that for you. We’ll even go to bat for you when it comes to competing for the best price for your products.

Margins, rising costs and supply chain

We understand your needs and are driven to provide you with the best, seamless, friction-less shipping experiences of your products. We understand pressures like almighty margins, rising input costs, supply chain issues and all associated complexities.

Plant-based popularity and food inventory

With the increase in popularity of plant-based items, we’re well-versed in the complexities and requirements of shipping them cross-border. We know that foods have a limited shelf life and require tight inventory management.
