In recent years, transportation regulations have become more stringent within the logistics industry, especially when it comes to hazardous materials and/or dangerous goods. No one ever stops to think about how these items end up on shelves across the world, but we know everything that needs to happen behind the scenes so that your product can get on a plane, a vessel, or truck and arrive where it needs to in a timely manner. When people bring us their shipments we identify it, classify it, pack it, mark it, label it, document it, in accordance with the regulations, and hand it off to the appropriate carrier. That’s what we do.
As experts in the shipping of hazmat products, government shipments, and more, we offer regulation compliant solutions when shipments get frustrated.
