Special Projects -
Need to ship your high value vehicle via airfreight?
We provide a broad range of value-added services.
Purchasing services: Buy goods for export/overseas delivery.
Currently the US is experiencing a huge increase in exports. Due to current rates of foreign exchange,
buying goods in the USA - for export overseas - has become a real bargain!
This also means that most ships are departing fully loaded,
so its important to reserve space on the desired vessel well in advance of
the proposed shipping date. For some high demand trade lanes we recommend booking your shipment at least 8 weeks in advance.
To protect your cargo while in transit, we arrange for comprehensive marine cargo insurance coverage for your consignment.
Commerce and Business Services
- Information Resources
Our extensive website provides a wealth of information about international shipping and export/import commerce.
From time to time we post important advisories on our web site: shipping service alerts, world port news updates, "general rate guidelines", photo galleries, case studies & analyses.
We also maintain an extensive collection of outbound links of more generalized interest, often geared toward
Expat Activities
and the Export Import business community.
If you are a new shipper and SEFCO account,
please have a look at our security review and
payment instructions.
First time shippers and new SEFCO acccounts will need to
"become known".
Current security measures require our company to perform OFAC and other related checks in order to process orders for new shippers. This takes time to prepare.
Once you have your SEFCO account opened, with payment and
SLI / ID information on file,
we can help you with all your international logistical needs.
New account booking requests (BR's) are handled on a first come, first served basis.
For new shippers and experienced shippers alike, it is important to keep informed on market conditions.
We recommend reading trade publications such as the Journal of Commerce (JOC), along with our
online advisories and port news updates.
Space on SS Lines can be very tight, so be sure to make you booking/reservations well in advance of the desired shipping date.
Payment of your deposit/full amount and submitting your SLI shippers lettter of instructions,
will allow us to open your file and start working on the consignment. All orders are subject to our standard contract
terms and conditions for service.
Business is conducted electronically and all instructions are placed in writing, including: rate quotations and general advise,
SS Line booking requests and confirmations,
transmission of documents such as DR dock receipts, BL bill of lading instructions, SED
Shippers Export Declarations, and marine insurance certificates.
If you have any general questions please feel free to email our office at the
contact address provided on our website.
Rate requests are best handled by filling in your details using our
online rate request form.
Our designated commercial forwarding offices, overseas agents, warehouses
and the piers all require advance appointments.
Plan ahead!
Before showing up at a warehouse/terminal, depot or office -- always call ahead.
Email our office for instructions.
It's "never too early" to start making advance logistics preparation for an overseas shipment.
