  • Providers excel in handling high-tech equipment, robotics, and sensitive electronics, offering anti-static packaging and climate-controlled transport.
• Sustainability Options:
  • Many carriers offer eco-friendly shipping via electric trucks for last-mile delivery within San Jose, aligning with the city’s green initiatives.

Tips for Shippers:

• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with San Jose’s zip code (95110–95139) and specify delivery windows for corporate addresses (e.g., 9 AM–5 PM).
  • For LCL shipments, use neutral packaging and include dual-language (English/Spanish) labels if targeting local retail markets.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via Oakland Port is often faster for San Jose deliveries than Los Angeles; air freight via SJC reduces intra-Bay Area trucking.
• Documentation:
  • Tech companies should provide detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) and product specifications for customs valuation.
  • Startups importing prototypes may qualify for duty exemptions under U.S. tariff provisions—consult providers for eligibility.
