CargoTrans is a full-service freight forwarder, licensed customs broker, and 3PL. We move your cargo, clear customs, store and distribute it, and run every account on Captain, so you get one live view of every shipment.
Trusted by leading importers & manufacturers
CargoTrans is a freight forwarder and licensed U.S. customs broker founded in 1989, family-owned across two generations, moving ocean, air, and ground freight worldwide from a Manhasset, New York headquarters and a global office in Ningbo.
Every client account runs on the same technology stack: Captain for control tower visibility, tariffs, and customs compliance, and Atlas TMS for tendering, carrier management, and freight audit. Freight, entries, and duty exposure are read from one record rather than reconciled across systems after the fact.
The result is one accountable party for the booking, the entry, the storage, and the number your finance team sees at the end of the month.

Moving freight should not mean managing four disconnected vendors and reconciling their data by hand. With one accountable team across transport, customs, and storage, running on one platform, your supply chain becomes something you can see and act on.
CargoTrans runs the whole flow, from origin booking to final delivery, so you manage outcomes instead of handoffs while staying in control of every shipment.
Every shipment you move with us, ocean, air, truck, or rail, posts its milestones and documents to Captain, the control tower every account runs on, so your team reads one live source of truth.
Captain connects to your ERP, flags risks early, and routes each exception to the right owner while there is still time to act. Built and run by CargoTrans, not a dashboard we resell.
Because our brokers, forwarders, and warehouse work from one record, every bill of lading, invoice, and entry is captured as the freight moves, so your reasonable care file builds itself in real time.
Our trade advisory team models duty exposure before you commit and flags the shipments a rule change affects, so tariffs shape sourcing and routing instead of surprising you at entry.
Importers and manufacturers rely on one accountable team to move freight, clear customs, and keep production on schedule.
“We had a hold at the port that CargoTrans cleared in hours. What would have taken us days to figure out, they just handled.”
Logistics ManagerCompany A“We had multiple suppliers shipping components under different HTS codes, and our customs filings kept getting flagged. CargoTrans reviewed our documentation, corrected the tariff classifications, and consolidated our entries. Since then, we haven’t had a single entry hold.”
Logistics CoordinatorElectronics Manufacturer“Our shipment was stuck at the Port of Long Beach due to a missing FDA document. CargoTrans identified the issue within an hour and coordinated directly with customs to release the cargo the same day. What could have delayed production for a week was resolved before it became a problem.”
Operations ManagerMedical Device ImporterCargoTrans is a freight forwarder and a licensed U.S. customs broker in the same company, founded in 1989 and headquartered at 1129 Northern Blvd, Manhasset, New York, with a global office in Ningbo and resources in India, the Philippines, and Colombia. The two licences matter more than the label: the team that books the vessel is the team that files the entry, so an origin decision that would create a classification problem at the border is caught while it is still a booking. Warehousing, distribution, and 3PL work sit under the same roof.
Every account runs on Captain and Atlas TMS, at no extra licence for the client. Captain covers control tower visibility, tariff calculation and tracking, landed cost, and customs and trade compliance. Atlas covers routing guides, load tendering, carrier scorecards, freight audit, and payment. Both are configured for your lanes and connected to the desk that handles your freight, so a milestone, a customs hold, and a duty estimate all come from the same record instead of three separate exports.
Each booking creates one record that follows the shipment through every stage. The forwarding desk books it, the brokerage desk files the entry against the same HTS classification, and Captain posts each milestone and exception to a feed your team, your brokers, and your carriers read from. Duty exposure is modelled against the same classification the entry uses, so the number in a landed-cost estimate is the number that reaches the invoice.
A U.S. customs broker licence, C-TPAT certification as part of CBP's supply chain security programme, IATA accreditation for air freight, NGLCC certification, and membership of the AerOcean Network for global agent coverage. C-TPAT is the one importers feel: it affects examination rates and how quickly a hold is resolved at the port.
Worldwide, with U.S. import and export as the centre of gravity. Ocean and air from Asia, Europe, and Latin America into every major U.S. port and airport, entry filing through ACE at any port of entry, and domestic truckload, LTL, parcel, and rail intermodal once the freight lands. The Ningbo office covers origin work in China directly rather than through an agent.
Importers and exporters who want the forwarder, the broker, and the visibility platform to be one accountable party. It fits best where classification, duty exposure, and delivery dates are connected problems: consumer goods and retail, furniture and FF&E, food and beverage, cosmetics and chemicals, and industrial manufacturing. Companies that only need a spot quote on one lane are better served elsewhere.
