How to take control with Trade Security

Any forwarder should control security filing. Get it wrong and your customer is exposed to delays and penalties. Outsource filing to carriers or partners and you pay way too much yet still can’t control the service!
You can’t get control of filing and costs because it’s complex and time consuming to register with Customs jurisdictions. That’s where Trade Tech comes in. We’ve been registering customers for 20 years. We know this. We can help. We make cargofiling easy.
Open the door to savings of up to 90% on carrier/partner filing charges. Turn filing from pain to profit and secure your customer’s journey as well with Trade Security
