Mastering Triangle Shipping

Freight forwarders employ a host of strategies to deliver your shipments efficiently. A unique approach, called triangle shipping, incorporates an additional leg of the journey. While it requires extra planning, the benefits for importers and exporters are substantial. Learn more about triangle shipping in this guide.

Demystifying Triangle Shipping

This logistic strategy in supply chain management facilitates the transportation of goods among three distinct locations, usually involving a foreign-to-foreign port routing. This method sends cargo directly from the supplier to the customer via a third-party location or hub, circumventing time-consuming and expensive U.S. port clearance.

Companies handling perishable or price-volatile commodities find triangle shipping especially advantageous. It allows cargo to reach its destination swiftly and efficiently without extra costs or delays. It’s a strategy that enhances supply chain efficiency and cuts costs in international trade.

Executing a Triangle Shipment

The triangle shipment process comprises several key steps:

1. Initial Negotiations: This phase involves discussions between the buyer and seller. The buyer identifies a product to purchase and negotiates the sale terms with the seller.
2. Coordination with Us: Upon agreeing to the sale terms, the buyer and seller coordinate with us to manage the shipment. We handle the shipment logistics, including cargo transportation between the three locations.
3. Export from the Seller’s Location: The first leg of the triangle shipment entails exporting the cargo from the seller’s location. Our team arranges the cargo pickup and transport to the appropriate ocean port or airport for export.
4. Transportation to the Intermediate Location: The cargo then moves to the intermediate location, usually a different country. It’s then transferred to a different carrier for the final leg of the shipment, managed by us, with real-time location updates.
5. Importation at the Intermediate Location: Upon arriving at the intermediate location, the cargo clears customs and import regulations in that country. Our efficient management ensures all necessary paperwork is completed and that the cargo clears customs promptly.
6. Transportation to the Final Destination: The cargo then goes to the final destination, typically with a different carrier. We manage the logistics of this transportation, including arranging for the cargo pickup at the intermediate location and transport to the final destination.
7. Delivery and Payment: The cargo, once it reaches the final destination, is delivered to the buyer, who then pays for the product. The triangle shipment concludes once the payment is processed.
