From a single carton shipment to complete project management.

Coppersmith offers innovative export solutions. We have a long-developed network of overseas agents who represent the interests of our customers. We have rates on ocean carriers across the three major alliances as well as contract rates with airlines to key global destinations. By utilizing these partnerships, we can offer a variety of services ranging from delivery to the airport, seaport or paid to the door. Using electronic documentation with airlines, carriers and shippers, clerical errors are reduced to near zero. Information sharing with the destination consignee and agent further reduces the chance of cargo delays. We can negotiate and book directly with any carrier, offering rates, transit time and handling, meeting the needs of the cargo and consignee.

Speed

Standard? Expedited? Just-in-time? Factory shutdown imminent? Different shipments regardless of modality have different transit time demands. Coppersmith works backwards from the arrival deadline and partners with exporters to select the right mode, route and carrier. Electronic documentation from shippers allows Coppersmith to more quickly process a transaction and move the information forward rapidly to airlines and steamship lines.

Compliance

Exporters must report their shipments to the U.S. government and failing to do so properly can lead to delays, penalties or both. As important as importers correctly filing an entry, so too is the Electronic Export Information filing to the Census Department. Coupled with pre-departure filings required by domestic or foreign governments and agencies, the work begins long before a plane's departure or the container's loading. Trust Coppersmith to keep your exports in compliance.

Quick thinking thwarts slow moving vessels!

A mid-shipment intervention saved the day and prevented a shutdown.

When the shipment was booked, it was a container of goods destined to be inventoried for manufacturing overseas. As such, Coppersmith selected a service that saved the client money, but was longer in transit. While on the water, the factory at destination experienced an accident, escalating the urgency for the goods to be delivered as quickly as possible.

The container was scheduled to be transshipped and when the vessel arrived in port, Coppersmith worked with the carrier and our partner in that intermediate country to take possession of the container and move it by air to the destination, shaving weeks off the anticipated arrival time and avoiding a shutdown. It was an exercise in how our relationships with both our carrier partners and forwarding partners in three places kept a bad situation from worsening.
