  DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

  TradeTrans manages the distribution services of goods for international shipping around the world. Since 1985, our experts in export packing continue to evaluate the type of product, the mode of transportation and the facilities at all ports and airports involved. We understand the nuances of shipments made by vessel, air and ground transportation, including extensive packing for longer transport durations, humidity exposure, and the handling between transport methods along the journey. Our distribution services include: Labeling We offer a variety of highly regarded global translation labeling services including unit sequence labels, pallet labels, GMO-free labels and bilingual food product labels. We currently provide bilingual labels in Arabic, Russian, Mandarin and Spanish, and we work closely with a global translation company to ensure accuracy and adherence to technical specifications. Container Loading All pallets are weighed, measured and identified to ensure proper load balance is achieved when container loading takes place. Inbound containers are checked to verify they are in good condition. Containers that are leaking, damaged or have strong odors are rejected, as is any non-working reefer equipment. Cargo is loaded in containers to ensure that all pallets are properly blocked and braced for safe shipment. The entire cargo loading process is documented with photographs. Appropriate dunnage materials (air bags, pallets, brackets) are used to secure each load for safe shipment. Documentation Documentation is diligently handled with careful attention to detail. Every country has their own import regulations, and TradeTrans stays up to date to adhere to these exacting requirements. Typical documents issued include commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, free-sale certificates, certificates of analysis, as well as all related transport documentation. Our long-standing working relationship with a premier consular service in New York City allows us to secure notarized and/or legalized documents as required in a timely manner. All original documentation is dispatched via international courier service.
