In many cases, more than one mode of transportation is required. The points of origin and destination, as well as timing, determine the transportation selected. Seaports around the United States regularly serve certain destination countries. As a result, the port pairs (port of exit and port of entry) may not always be the closest to you. To help determine the best ports, your local Central agent will work with the international staff at Central headquarters, who are specialists in moving shipments across international borders.

Likewise, the way your shipment is transported and the amount of goods you have will affect the size and type of container used. Central Forwarding can help select the container best suited for your needs.
