Our services cover imports into the US, exports out of the US, and cross-trade movements where cargo moves between the USA and a third country. One dedicated contact handles everything, regardless of where you are based.

FORW handles air freight to the USA in all directions. We coordinate imports into the US from any origin, exports out of the US to any destination, and cross-trade movements between the USA and third countries.
US customs operates a thorough import control system. FORW manages documentation preparation and works with US-based customs partners to ensure smooth clearance, whatever the origin of the shipment.
We coordinate a wide range of cargo on the USA corridor, including:
Sea freight to the USA typically takes 15-30 days depending on origin. Air freight reduces that to 1-5 days at a higher cost per kilogram.

US Customs and Border Protection requires accurate commodity classification, declared values, and complete documentation for all air imports. Key documents include the commercial invoice, packing list, and air waybill.
