Services

Everything between the supplier and the shelf.

Take the full chain or just the piece you are missing. Each service below can stand alone or run as part of one managed shipment.

Service 01

Philippines ⇄ Vietnam Freight

Our core lane. Scheduled sea and air freight in both directions, with consolidation for cargo too small to justify a full container. We arrange the booking, the export documents and the delivery on the far end, so the shipment does not stall at a handover.

If your volume does not fill a container yet, your cargo travels in a shared one and you pay for the space you use.

Typical routes: Manila, Cebu and Davao to and from Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai), Hai Phong and Da Nang. Other ports on request.

  • Door-to-door, port-to-door or port-to-port
  • Export documentation handled at origin
  • Several suppliers consolidated into one shipment
  • Cargo insurance arranged on request
  • Milestone updates at every leg of the journey

Service 02

Trial Shipment Program

Built for businesses importing for the first time, or testing a supplier they have not used before. We take one small order through the complete import cycle so you learn the real cost and the real timeline before you scale the volume.

You end up with three things: the goods in hand, a full cost breakdown, and a short written debrief on what to change before the next order.

Good for: validating a new supplier, checking whether a product is importable, confirming margins with actual landed cost, or simply learning the process with limited exposure.

  • Small-volume shipping — no minimum container required
  • Compliance check before dispatch: is the product importable, what permits apply
  • Supplier verification and packaging review
  • Full landed cost breakdown after arrival
  • Written debrief with recommendations for the next order
  • Direct line to the person handling your shipment

Service 03

Import & Distribution

For companies with no registered entity or import licence in the destination market. We import under our own documentation, settle duties and taxes, and hand the goods over ready to sell — or take them all the way to your buyers.

This is the fastest route into a market when you want to test demand before setting up a local company.

Note: Regulated categories such as food, cosmetics, medical devices and electronics carry additional registration requirements. We review these before quoting and tell you plainly if a product is not viable.

Service 04

Supplier to Warehouse Transport

Most delays start before the cargo ever reaches a port. We collect directly from your suppliers, check what was actually loaded against what you ordered, and consolidate everything at our warehouse before it moves onward.

That means one shipment instead of five, and a quantity discrepancy caught at the factory rather than at your receiving bay.

  • Scheduled and on-demand pickup at supplier sites
  • Multiple suppliers consolidated into a single shipment
  • Quantity and condition check on receipt
  • Repacking, palletising and labelling
  • Photo record of cargo before dispatch
  • Inbound to our warehouse or direct to yours

Service 05

Customs Clearance & Documentation

Paperwork is where shipments lose days. We prepare and file the declarations, classify the goods correctly the first time, and attend inspections so questions get answered on the spot instead of by email.

Available as a standalone service if you already have a freight arrangement you are happy with.

Shipping documents being checked against the cargo
  • HS code classification and valuation review
  • Import and export declarations
  • Certificates of origin, permits and licences
  • Duty and tax computation
  • Inspection attendance and release coordination
