Key Services Offered:

1. Sea Freight (FCL/LCL)
   • Cost-Effective for Bulk Shipments:
     • Transit times from Chinese ports to West Coast ports (e.g., Los Angeles, Oakland): 13–22 days, plus inland trucking/rail to Pocatello via Salt Lake City or Boise (3–5 days for trucking, 5–7 days for rail).
     • FCL (Full Container Load): Ideal for agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, or outdoor gear, with dedicated containers for secure transit.
     • LCL (Less than Container Load): Cost-effective for smaller shipments (e.g., electronics, camping supplies) with consolidation at major ports.
   • Mountain Route Considerations:
     • Trucking routes through the Rocky Mountains (e.g., I-84) may face winter delays; rail is more reliable for non-urgent bulk orders.
2. Air Freight
   • Expedited Delivery:
     • Transit times: 3–7 days from Chinese airports (e.g., Shanghai Pudong) to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) or Boise Airport (BOI), with customs clearance included.
     • Final trucking from SLC/BOI to Pocatello takes 2–3 hours, ensuring fast delivery for urgent tech components, medical supplies, or high-value outdoor equipment.
3. Door-to-Door Logistics
   • Full-service solution including:
     • Pickup from suppliers in China
     • Ocean/air transport, customs clearance (including Idaho state tax compliance)
     • Final delivery to Pocatello’s industrial zones, farms, or residential areas
   • Eliminates coordination with multiple providers, ideal for businesses in agriculture, outdoor recreation manufacturing, or personal relocations.
4. Customs Clearance & Compliance
   • Expert handling of:
     • U.S. Customs regulations (e.g., ISF filings, tariff classification under HTS codes)
     • Idaho state requirements (e.g., sales tax, agricultural import restrictions)
   • Specialized support for:
     • Agricultural Imports: USDA certification for farming equipment, seeds, or livestock supplies
     • Outdoor Equipment: Compliance with safety standards for camping gear, ATVs, or snowmobiles
     • Hazardous Materials: Proper documentation for batteries or chemicals used in manufacturing

Why Choose These Services?

• Mountainous Region Expertise:
  • Pocatello’s location near the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and I-15 requires carriers experienced in navigating steep grades and winter weather, with snow-rated trucks and flexible scheduling.
• Cargo Flexibility:
  • Handle diverse goods, including temperature-controlled food products for local markets, oversized mining equipment, and recreational vehicles.
• Weather-Resilient Planning:
  • Providers account for Idaho’s harsh winters (November–March) and summer wildfire risks, offering climate-controlled transport and proactive rerouting for delayed shipments.

Tips for Shippers:

• Accurate Cargo Details:
  • Include weight, dimensions, and commodity type in the form (e.g., “8 pallets of mining equipment” or “400 kg of camping tents”). Specify if cargo requires lift gates or mountain-grade trucks.
• Transit Time Buffer:
  • Sea freight via Los Angeles + rail to Pocatello is cost-effective but allow extra 5–7 days for mountain rail schedules.
  • Air freight is recommended for urgent shipments during winter, as trucking delays on I-84 are common.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • Due to mountain transit risks (e.g., avalanches, narrow roads), comprehensive cargo insurance (2–5% of shipment value) is strongly recommended, especially for high-value equipment.
