What Is Import Logistics?
Import logistics is a process that encompasses all the steps required to bring goods in to the country from an international supplier to your doorstep. The steps involve shipping, handling of goods, customs compliance, and final delivery. As your import logistics company, CW Freight handles all of the complexities involved in the importation of goods leaving you with ample time to focus on your core business operations.
How Does It Work?
Here is a simple breakdown of the import process and how our bonded carrier team can help:
- Identifying a supplier: The first step in the process involves a business looking to import goods and identifying the right international supplier. The identification is done based on specific criteria such as the history of the company, supplier reputation, and product quality.
- Placing an order: After identifying a supplier, the business places an order.
- Shipping contact: The business then contacts a local import logistics company to import goods from the supplier. This is where we come into the picture. At CW Freight, we maintain close contact with several shipping lines and airlines to arrange the shipment of the goods through the Port of Chicago.
- Customs clearance: After arrival at the destination, the cargo has to get customs clearance. We can help you with this. Our team has extensive knowledge of customs regulations, helping you navigate the complexities of customs and arranging all the documentation necessary for customs clearance.
- Delivery of the cargo to the final destination: After customs clearance, the cargo is delivered to its final destination. We use our experienced drivers as well as a range of intermodal transportation and drayage services to deliver your cargo to your doorstep. Throughout delivery you can monitor the current location of your cargo using our real-time tracking software, making the whole experience transparent and stress-free.
