OEM/ODM Freight Consolidation Supplier & Exporter

Standard ocean freight forwarding typically handles isolated shipments under separate Bills of Lading, regardless of how many vendors an importer uses. OEM/ODM freight consolidation (Buyers' Consolidation) operates as a strategic origin hub service. We gather raw components, custom manufactured goods, or private-label products from multiple distinct factories across an industrial region, warehouse them securely at our export facility, conduct optional pre-shipment quality checks, and pack them into dedicated Full Container Load (FCL) units. This reduces freight costs, unifies customs documentation, and provides complete control over container space utilization.

The Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) is mandated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for ocean freight imports. When consolidating products from 5, 10, or 20 different OEM suppliers into a single container, the 10 data elements—including Manufacturer/Supplier Name, Seller, Buyer, Ship-to Party, Country of Origin, and Commodity HTS Numbers—must be verified for *every single item* inside the container and transmitted to CBP at least 24 hours before the vessel is loaded at the foreign port. Inaccurate or late filings trigger automatic fines of $5,000 to $10,000 per violation. Our licensed brokers systematically collect and validate data from all vendors to ensure 100% compliant filings.

For buyer-managed consolidation, **FOB (Free on Board) Foreign Port** or **EXW (Ex Works)** are recommended. Under FOB, each OEM factory covers local trucking to our consolidation warehouse and export customs declaration, handing over responsibility once goods are loaded. This allows the buyer to control international ocean freight rates, carrier selection, and destination clearance. Alternatively, if your goal is a hands-off experience where total landed costs are fully guaranteed upfront, our all-inclusive **DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)** service handles all origin pickup, ocean transit, customs duties, taxes, and final drayage directly to your domestic distribution door.

CTPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) is a voluntary U.S. CBP supply chain security program. As a CTPAT-certified partner, Cordaro Shipping's logistics supply chain infrastructure has undergone stringent security validations by federal authorities. Because U.S. Customs trusts certified supply chains, CTPAT-partnered cargo receives a significantly lower risk score in CBP automated targeting systems. This results in fewer physical container inspections (which can cost $500–$2,000 per exam and cause 5-7 day delays), priority processing during security holds, and fast-track access during port congestion events.

Yes. Through our U.S. gateway facilities on the East Coast (Port of NY/NJ) and West Coast (Ports of LA/Long Beach), we offer complete deconsolidation and cross-docking services. Upon arrival, consolidated containers are pulled directly from port terminals via dedicated container drayage. Goods are sorted at our warehouse, palletized, and transferred to domestic LTL, full truckload (FTL), air express, or direct FBA fulfillment channels according to your distribution matrix.
