About TradeLink

A named trader on every shipment.

You get one trader who owns your shipment from purchase order to delivery — not a hand-off between sales and operations. Every consignment is tracked against its own file.

  • One named trader for the life of the shipment
  • Suppliers vetted and re-checked on a schedule
  • Customs paperwork filed ahead of arrival, not after

03

Customs clearance is filed ahead of arrival so cargo moves straight to delivery.
