Who We Are

West Global Shipping has provided a high quality, cost-effective level of service to the transportation community for over 10 years – our flagship business, The Company, was originally founded in 2002. As a Nationally Permitted U.S. Customs Broker & Export Foreign Freight Forwarder, we participate in all phases of the Automated Broker Interface (ACE, RLF, ACH, AES, AMS, CSI, ISF, reconciliation and all other programs), enabling us to custom clear merchandise or export your cargo as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Although established as a freight forwarder, handling internationally bound cargo in the New York Hudson River area, our focus on providing seamless product and information flow has helped us to grow to the point where we now offer an entire suite of complementary services – Customs Broker, Freight Forwarding, Logistics operations, Trucking and Warehousing.

With our strong emphasis on compliance, we have been recognized as a leader in such programs as the Importer Security Filing initiative. All of our locations are staffed with licensed Customs Brokers that offer years of expertise that professionally represent our customers and meet all regulatory requirements.

Customer Satisfication Tools

The word cargo refers in particular to goods or produce being conveyed generally for commercial gain by ship, boat, or aircraft, although the term is now often extended to cover all types of freight, including that carried by train, van, truck, or intermodal container.

Management & Reporting

Management reports can range in content and breadth. Often, management reports contain financial and operational information on a small segment of the business and can serve as a form of business intelligence. Because they contain proprietary information, management reports are confidential and for internal use only..

Freight Payment Options

Now, what happens in a cash against goods (CAG) import is that the exporter relinquishes all control over the goods when they’re shipped. In order to protect the exporter, the importer’s bank will guarantee the shipment by agreeing to pay for the goods outlined by the bill of exchange. Essentially, the importer’s bank becomes liable to the exporter upon receipt of the goods.

Compliance Solutions

Depending on the requirements, the desired systems can be flexibly combined into an individually tailored compliance platform, right up to an all-encompassing compliance solution that reliably covers all areas of compliance.
