Cross Trade Shipping
Cross Trade Shipping on Every Global Lane
Global lanes between any two countries.
Overview
Cross trade shipping with global coverage from one team
NSL cross trade shipping moves your cargo between two countries outside Pakistan, for example China to the USA or Turkey to Saudi Arabia, while you deal with one Pakistan-based team. We book the freight, issue the documents and coordinate pickup and delivery through our global agent network.
Traders, buying houses and importers often buy in one country and sell in another. With cross trade (third-country) shipping the goods travel directly from the supplier to the buyer and never pass through Pakistan, so there is no double handling, no extra transit and no Pakistani customs on the way.
As a licensed NVOCC, NSL can issue its own house bill of lading and arrange switch bills of lading when you need to keep the supplier and buyer details apart. Our partners at origin and destination, vetted through FIATA and JCtrans, handle pickup, export clearance, import clearance and final delivery, while NSL stays your single point of control and billing.
Cross trade covers every main ocean and air lane in the world: Transpacific, Asia to Europe, Transatlantic, Asia to the Middle East, Intra-Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania.
