Based on your product’s characteristics, shipment size and supply chain considerations, we can develop a transportation solution that meets your requirements for speed, price and special services. Whether container load or less-than-container shipment – or transit by air, ocean, multi-modal sea-air or special air charter – we will work with you to achieve your supply chain objectives.
Logistics professionals with in-country expertise bring a deep understanding of the regulations in place at origin and destination locations, as well as shipping rates. They also can provide insights into the geographic, social and political environments which may affect the movement of goods.
In addition, shipment visibility, enabled by easy-to-use Web-native technology, allows you to better plan destination logistics and improve your customer service.

In addition, account management programs and total landed cost analysis and reporting allows you to measure your progress and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
International customs brokerage
For many of our customers, international shipping is not your primary business, and keeping up to date on complex and changing customs regulations is not your top priority.
YRC Worldwide can help you navigate the formalities of import and export regulations, processes and tariffs with confidence. Our service features in-country expertise and licensed service providers to help you avoid delays and penalties.
Data management is an important element in regulatory compliance. Our Web-native technology facilitates having the right information, at the right place, at the right time to expedite customs clearance processes.
