Background
This case study highlights the door-to-door sea freight transport of industrial valves from Shanghai to Miami. We managed every phase, from secure packaging in Shanghai to customs clearance and last-mile delivery in Miami, ensuring a smooth, reliable experience for the client. With the shipment contained in a single wooden crate, sea freight provided an ideal balance of cost-efficiency and security for this heavier, bulky item.

Once packed and cleared, the crate was loaded onto the vessel for its journey from Shanghai to the Port of Miami. Throughout the transit, we provided the client with regular updates on the shipment’s progress, adding an extra layer of transparency and reassurance.
4. Arrival, Clearance, and Final Delivery
Upon arrival at the Port of Miami, our local logistics partner managed customs clearance and handled the delivery to the final destination. The door-to-door service ensured that the client’s shipment arrived safely and on time, ready for immediate use or storage.
