“We know that choosing the best shipping and freight options depends entirely on your specific business requirements. There are several different options, so it helps to think through which method makes sense for your budget and timeline.”
Import Duties & Taxes
There are multiple ways you can choose to ship something. You can send it by sea, air, post or courier.
Depending on what you need to ship and where you need to ship it, you might need to consider different options that can be wildly different in freight charges, transit times, and security.
Obviously, we want to help you make the best decision for your budget and shipping needs.

Air freight is the next step up. While still fast, it is generally used for heavier shipments that are too expensive for courier services but need to arrive much quicker than sea freight.
HS Code Classification
Ocean freight is the most cost-effective method for large volume shipments. Transit times are longer, but the savings for bulk orders are substantial.
