Export Goods from the United States

Plan from the source, not assumptions

Selecting a port involves more than distance. Compare carrier calls, cargo handling capabilities, inland trucking, warehouse access, title processing, terminal delivery and the buyer destination. Specific routing and costs require an actual pickup address and cargo description.

Start by documenting the specific item or product, the seller location, destination country and preferred delivery arrangement. Make sure the purchase and shipping arrangements are agreed separately and that the party responsible for export documents is clearly identified.
