USA Freight Forwarding and Logistics Services

Dimerco entered the USA market during the country’s 200th anniversary in 1976. Since then, we have expanded to 17 offices providing coast-to-coast coverage and the full scope of air freight, ocean freight, contract logistics, and trade compliance services.

We are an NVOCC-licensed freight forwarder and an IATA-certified air freight shipping specialist. While Dimerco ships goods between the USA and all regions of the world, our specialty is moving freight between the USA and shipping hubs throughout China and the entire Asia-Pacific region. Our strong carrier relationships and capacity in these Asia-Pac shipping lanes means we can commit the freight capacity you need, often when others cannot. If you need a global freight forwarder for China to US freight, our multi-cultural, multi-lingual USA team interacts seamlessly with our offices in China – ensuring clear, accurate communications that keep your shipments flowing.

Unlike some of the world’s largest forwarding companies, Dimerco combines significant size with flexibility. We are a flat organization where decisions are made quickly, and where you can reach one of our USA freight specialists immediately should an issue arise. Our processes and our systems are adaptable and customized to meet your exact requirements.

As your business grows and expands beyond USA into the Americas, we offer not only international air and ocean services but also trucking or transshipping solutions to Central or South America, Mexico and Canada. This includes advice on cross-border trucking solutions that will become more important as North American trade increases due to the USMCA trade agreement.

Do you need logistics and freight forwarding services in the USA?

Dimerco can ship your freight between the USA and anywhere in the world. We are particularly strong shipping between the USA and Asia-Pac countries, including China to US freight forwarding.
