You’ve got plenty of things to worry about in your
business. Crossing oceans doesn’t have to be one of
them. So, whether you’re just getting started or you’ve
been shipping containers for years, we can help.*
Full Container Load (FCL)
To meet your unique routing and transit-time requirements, we procure
space on multiple vessels across carriers and alliances, with frequent
departures from major ports around the world.
Less-Than-Container Load (LCL)
We coordinate the sharing of space within a container. Offered in most
major ports, you get economical, usage-based pricing while enjoying FCL
frequency, routing and visibility.
Ocean Forwarding
A streamlined source to book ocean cargo, arrange for pickup and manage
shipping documentation for almost any origin or destination. Available in
most major ports.

Cheaper than air freight.
Faster than ocean.
A freight option that’s
just right.
If air freight doesn’t fit your budget,
but ocean freight doesn’t fit your
timing, our multi-modal freight
services can be a smart alternative.
You can reduce transportation costs
up to 70% compared to straight
air freight, and increase transit times
as much as 45% faster than ocean.*
It might just be the perfect
transportation option.
* Savings and transit times vary by individual customer,
origin/destination pairing and shipment characteristics.
Time and cost savings based on calculations as of 2017.

Consolidation & DC Bypass Services

Why clear customs multiple
times when you can do it
just once?
(Bypass the warehouse, too.)
Greatly reduce customs clearance
time by consolidating individual
shipments to the same destination
country — or into the European
Union — into just one shipment.
We’ll handle pickup, air, ground or
ocean transportation, customs
clearance, deconsolidation and
delivery. We can even help you apply
destination country delivery labels at
origin — before consolidation — so
you can bypass costly distribution
centers.
And get to market in no
time at all.

Customs Brokerage

If you’ve used the same
customs broker forever,
you’re probably quite
content with your
flip phone, too.
Customs brokerage isn’t a commodity.
We didn’t get to be one of the world’s
largest customs brokers overnight.
We’ve been in the transportation
and logistics business for more than
110 years, so we’re always on the
front lines of customs brokerage.
Today we share those capabilities
with companies of all sizes that are
looking to open new markets.
So, go ahead. Shake things up a little.

UPS spends $1 billion
annually on technology.
Can your freight
forwarder say that?
Yep, that’s not a typo. Actually, we spend
more than $1 billion each year to make
sure you’re supported by the most
sophisticated internal and customer-
facing technologies possible. From dock
to door, we’re committed to help you
streamline transportation and freight
processing in ways that improve
reliability and efficiency, while saving
time and money. But mostly, we want
to enable you to be more responsive
to those customers who demand
control, flexibility and instant access
to information.
Not that they
ever do that.
