Consolidated Freight
Cut customs clearance time by consolidating individual shipments to the same destination country into just one shipment.
We’ll handle pickup, air, ground or ocean transport, customs clearance, deconsolidation and delivery. Even help apply destination delivery labels at origin—so you can bypass the distribution center.
How consolidating freight helps streamline your business
-
Consolidate multiple packages at the origin, and destination-label them there.
-
Consolidated packages clear customs as one shipment, saving time and reducing risk.
-
Shipment bypasses the distribution center and goes right out for delivery.
UPS Trade Direct® Services
Cross the world in fewer steps to boost your competitive edge, streamline customs clearance and speed delivery to customers.
-
Final destination delivery labels for each domestic consignee are prepared and attached at the shipment's point of origin, eliminating the need to sort or store the goods in the U.S.
-
Pre-labeled shipments, whether freight or individual packages, are picked up and consolidated into one shipment. Handling is streamlined and there is no need for additional carriers.
-
After the shipment crosses the border, the entire shipment is cleared through customs “as one” to minimize clearance fees.
-
Once in the U.S., packages in the shipment are deconsolidated and dropped straight into the UPS domestic delivery network. Because there's no need for a DC, costs and time are saved.
