DocShipper services in the USA
Sea freight from/to the USA
Shipping is critical to the worldwide flow of goods. Almost 95% of global trade is handled by sea. Maritime transport contributes for around 80% of intercontinental freight flows, totalling approximately 8 billion tons.
Sea transport refers to the shipping from one country to another in a sea container. Shipping has several advantages as it emits less CO2 than air and trucking, so it is environmentally friendly and probably slower, but cheaper than air transport. There are no constraints on the amount of goods that can be shipped by sea.
DocShipper offers the most common means of transportation. We provide all sorts of ships that are appropriate for the items to be delivered and ensure the lowest freight per ton.
Full container loads (FCL) and less than container loads (LCL) are the most popular types of transport.
- When all items are carried in a single container owned by one individual, the FCL is used.
- The LCL is for delivery of goods packed and shipped in a single container for multiple exporters or importers.
Purchase and shipping decisions are influenced by commercial and inventory necessities, as well as several other considerations such as price and specific product. LCL, for instance, is suited for transporting little products, whereas FCL is ideal for transporting huge amounts of cargo.
Road freight from/to the United States
Road freight, in contrast to the other two, non-complementary versions, is primarily related with another variant. Road freight is, in fact, commonly employed to link several terminals.

Air freight from/to the United States
Air transport is the recommended option if you need to move goods faster than by sea. Moreover, this option guarantees maximum
security against the risk of product destruction. There are two ways to deliver goods by air: traditional air freight and express air freight.
Traditional air freight allows you to load cargo with the available cargo capacity of commercial flights of scheduled airlines such as Cathay Pacific, American Airlines, and Emirates. Express air freight is handled through the airline's network. Delivery services such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT.
Express Courier can deliver your luggage and cargo anywhere in the world. These are "global" services. Customs clearance is usually not required for low value items. In addition, this type of transportation is less expensive than LCL, as shipping costs are lower for quantities less than 1 million tons.
