Multimodal Transport Value-Added Services

Sure, we'll move your freight from here to there. We also offer a suite of support services that have helped companies cross new borders for 100+ years.

Consolidation and DC Bypass

Why clear customs multiple times when you can do it just once? 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.

UPS Trade Direct® Air

If you export time-sensitive bulk or individual package shipments from select airports to the US, you could piece together a supply chain with multiple carriers, modes and customs brokers. Or you could just call us. We'll pick up and consolidate destination-labeled packages at the point of origin. Provide door-to-door delivery—including the final mile—for one per-kilo rate. All with no handoffs and end-to-end visibility for peace of mind.

UPS Trade Direct® Ocean

Now you can cross oceans in fewer steps. Enjoy the cost efficiency of ocean freight while bypassing costly distribution centers. So you can get orders to customers days or even weeks, faster. We'll consolidate multiple packages at their origin, handle customs clearance, ocean transportation, deconsolidation and provide delivery to multiple addresses within a destination country.

Our single-source solution consolidates multiple packages at their origin, handles customs clearance and deconsolidation and provides door-to-door delivery to multiple addresses within the destination country. All with end-to-end visibility and all-in-one consolidated billing.
