INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS

As your business begins to enter more and more territories, complexities around international trade regulations will begin to grow. According to Logistics Management, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), Brexit, and new U.S. tariffs (U.S.C. Section 201, 232, 301) will provide the biggest challenges to trade through 2019. In addition, it’s important to know and understand the most current information on international sanctions and export controls. The financial impact of violations can be severe, with violations from one Texas company resulting in a penalty of $100 million levied by the U.S. government.

JLB can provide trade consulting in specific countries, helping your global business to stay informed of trade changes and potentially retain a competitive advantage when entering into new markets. In addition, JLB International services can help you stay up-to-date with international trade information, allowing you to access country-specific tariff codes and potentially reduce the risk of import delays and fines.

TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

INTERMODAL

Used to move freight long distances by rail, intermodal transportation offers you truck-like reliability built around your business — giving you more options and more control. As an asset-based provider, we use our own tractors, chassis, containers and drivers to keep your freight on track. And, we go where you go so you can cross North American borders and move along the East Coast and beyond with ease.

This mode is right for you if:

Your freight is shipped in full 53′ truckload containers.

Your freight ships to the same locations consistently.

Sustainability is a supply chain initiative for your organization.

Your shipments go to and from metro areas or across borders.

Your shipments travel 300 miles or more.

Security of the shipments is critical .

SEA CARGO

Our ocean freight experts have vast experience in shipping virtually all types of industrial and consumer goods. In addition to our highly developed Foodstuffs & Perishables competence centers, our teams can provide specialized solutions for Automotive, Fashion, Healthcare, High Tech and other markets in defined regions around the world.

As an alternative to sea cargo, we offer FCL and LCL train services between China and Europe for transit times that are approximately two weeks faster than ocean freight at costs approximately 60% lower than air freight.
