Capabilities:
§
Direct IATA Shipments
Shapiro is sensitive to the needs of our shippers. We understand the
challenges that our shippers face when dealing with a customer’s
special requirements. Many clients don’t have time for consolidation
services, based on time restraints; we can assist with shipping your
cargo on a “next flight out” basis. Contact our professional staff
with your specific requirements and we’ll put a strategy in place
that’s right for you.
§
Consolidation/Deconsolidation Services
Customer needs drive our consolidation and deconsolidation services.
Take advantage of our existing consolidations for economical
airfreight opportunities. Our services continue to grow based on
customer demand. Currently, we offer regularly scheduled
consolidations from Germany and Hong Kong with competitive pricing
to meet your needs. Contact our
transportation department for information today.
§
Specialized Cargo
Shapiro is well versed in the handling of all types of specialized
cargo. All of our export personnel are IATA/FIATA, and IMDG
hazmat-certified. In addition, we have a Certified Ocean Forwarder (COF)
on staff, and an export compliance team with countless years of
experience. Our knowledgeable staff has been trained to handle all
types of cargo. Whether you are moving project cargo, exhibition
freight, or dangerous goods, we are your single source for expert
handling.
§
Import & Export Forwarding Services
As country requirements change, so do the documentary requirements.
Shapiro keeps current with changes in international trade. Let
Shapiro take your documentation worries away. We are experienced in
all phases of international transportation documentation. Utilize
our network of foreign agents to set up import routings that meet
your needs. For exports, contact us for a Shipper’s Letter of
Instructions (SLI) and you can outline your requirements to us. Send

Letter of Authorization (LOA) or a valid
