Common Questions

Frequently
Asked

New to international trade? These are the questions we hear most often from first-time importers and exporters.

A trade consultant advises businesses on how to import or export goods — covering strategy, documentation, regulations, costs, and carrier selection. Unlike a freight forwarder, we don't physically handle your cargo. We give you the knowledge and plan to do it correctly and cost-effectively.
Yes. We help you prepare the correct cargo specifications to request quotes, identify which carriers serve your route, compare rates across multiple shipping lines, and evaluate the total landed cost including port charges and inland transport.
It depends on the product, origin, and destination country. Typical documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin, and customs declaration. Some products require additional permits, phytosanitary certificates, or compliance certifications. We identify exactly what you need.
Port costs vary widely by terminal, country, container size (20' vs 40'), and cargo type. Typical charges include terminal handling (THC), port security fees, documentation fees, and possible demurrage or detention. We research the exact fee schedule for your specific ports and include it in our advisory report.
Absolutely. Many of our clients are first-time importers or exporters. We walk you through the entire process from scratch — explaining every step, document, and cost in plain language. You don't need prior experience to work with us.
We cover trade routes connecting North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Our primary expertise is in transpacific, transatlantic, and Asia-Europe routes, but we can advise on most global corridors.
