Global Shipping Without the Guesswork
International shipping involves far more than the move itself. Every shipment brings documentation, customs clearance, trade compliance requirements, and multiple handoffs between carriers and countries. Getting any of it wrong can mean delays and unexpected costs.
Logistics-Now provides comprehensive global shipping solutions by air and ocean. Whether you are importing raw materials or exporting finished goods, we handle the complexity — from customs brokerage and trade compliance to freight forwarding and last-mile delivery. We offer full container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL), air freight, and air charter services, with complete documentation management and real-time global tracking.

International Air & Ocean FAQs
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (full container load) means your shipment uses an entire ocean container. LCL (less-than-container load) consolidates your shipment with others in a shared container, which can be more economical when you do not have enough freight to fill one.
Should I ship by air or ocean?
Air freight is faster and suits urgent or high-value shipments. Ocean freight takes longer but is typically more economical for large or heavy shipments. We can help you weigh the tradeoff for each shipment.
Do you provide customs brokerage?
Yes. Our international services include customs brokerage and trade compliance support, along with documentation management.
Do you handle both imports and exports?
