Freight Forward
At Shapiro, our goal is to provide you only with the services you need – not what we want to “sell you.”
Gather ‘round as we boldly confess:
you don’t always need a forwarder.
We bet you’re sitting there wondering, “Why would they tell us that?!”
Isn’t Shapiro a freight forwarder?
We are, but we’re just not like the big guys.
If we determine that a courier is the best option, we’ll tell you, because that’s the Shapiro Way.
Not every import shipment requires a Customs broker, but it’s important to know when you do need one. If your shipment is over $2,500 USD and/or regulated by a Partner Government Agency, you will need to do a formal entry which requires a licensed Customs broker like Shapiro. A small parcel carrier can handle the transportation and informal entry if your cargo value is less than $2,500 USD and not regulated by a PGA.
If you choose to work with Shapiro (and we hope you do!), here is what you can expect:
Whether you’re a new online seller seeking consultation about how to cut through international red tape or a more seasoned international shipper looking for a true supply chain partner to scale your Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) or other online eCommerce business…
