Freight Forwarder USA

When your business depends on moving goods across borders efficiently and compliantly, you need more than a shipping company — you need an experienced international freight forwarder. World Class Shipping (WCS) has served importers, exporters, and global businesses as a trusted freight forwarder in the USA for over 38 years. From our base in New York, we coordinate air freight, ocean freight, customs clearance, and domestic logistics so your cargo moves without interruption.

What Does a Freight Forwarder Do?

A freight forwarder acts as your logistics partner and supply chain architect. Rather than owning ships or planes, a freight forwarder leverages a network of carriers, agents, and customs relationships to move your cargo from origin to destination at the best available rates and service levels. As your international freight forwarder, WCS handles every step of the process:

  • Booking cargo space on airlines and ocean carriers
  • Preparing and managing shipping documentation (bill of lading, airway bill, commercial invoice, packing list)
  • Coordinating origin pickup, consolidation, and export clearance
  • Filing US Customs entry and ISF (Importer Security Filing)
  • Arranging port pickup, drayage, and delivery to your warehouse or fulfillment center
  • Providing real-time shipment tracking and status updates

As your international freight forwarder, WCS handles every step of the process:

International Air Freight

As an IATA certified air freight agent, WCS has direct access to cargo rates on all major international airlines. Air freight is ideal for time-sensitive shipments, high-value goods, and commodities where speed justifies the premium. We handle door-to-door and airport-to-airport moves for shipments of all sizes.

Project Freight & Oversized Cargo

Not all cargo fits in a standard container. WCS specializes in project freight — the movement of heavy machinery, industrial equipment, oversized components, and out-of-gauge cargo. Our team handles route planning, specialized equipment booking, permits, and coordination with port authorities to move complex shipments safely and on schedule.

International Ocean Freight

Ocean freight remains the most cost-effective method for moving large volumes of goods internationally. WCS arranges FCL (full container load) and LCL (less than container load) shipments from all major global ports. Whether your cargo is moving from China, Europe, Asia, or South America, our carrier relationships ensure competitive rates and reliable service.

US Customs Brokerage

WCS is a licensed US Customs Broker, which means we provide customs clearance as an in-house service — not an outsourced one. We prepare and file all customs entries, manage ISF filings, classify commodities under the correct HTS codes, and work directly with CBP to release your cargo quickly and compliantly.
