Export-Import Transportation & Support Services
Beyond Port to Port Shipping - Project Advance Work
Our pre-export service includes comprehensive research and advice covering:
Export-Import Shipping Line/Ocean Carrier Routes, Freight Rate Calculation & Confirmation,
Carrier Service Comparison, Vessel Frequency & Transit Times.
If the cargo is READY FOR SHIPMENT in under 30 days:
We can provide a carrier confirmed rate.
Most international shipping line rates are valid for a limited time, so prices for shipments scheduled to happen much further in the
future can only be an estimate.
Once you become our customer ("shipper" / "consignee" / or "authorized agent")
authorize us to proceed,
we make a booking with the selected ocean carrier
and prepare to file the EEI electronic export information (US Customs/AES Export Declaration).
This is a critical part of all US Export shipments, and can only be done electronically with AES/US Customs.
Without a proof of filing number (ITN), showing the shipment has been approved for export by US Customs,
nothing can be loaded and exported.
At Sefco, we file these critical US Customs EEI export declarations for all our US export customers.
After the cargo has loaded the vessel and departed, we provide copies of the
B/L shipping documents, arrange payment of all ocean fees/surcharges
due to the carrier, and provide status reports as the shipment moves along its way.
Smooth, clean business.

Our carriers go to Destinations Worldwide
For smaller loads (LCL Export - partial container service)
Our customer/shippers can self-package the cargo (suitable for export) and deliver to our designated LCL Export Receiving/Shipping Warehouse(s) located throughout the United States.
Inland truck transport for door pickup available from commercial locations (accessible for the common-carrier trucker) throughout the United States. Provide the 3 dimensions, weight, commodity and orign zip code for a trucking PICKUP rate. All cargo must be prepacked and secured, suitable for common carrier transport.
FCL full container service
From CY/inland container yard, all major US Ports or from a commercially accessible Door
Ro/Ro Roll-on, Roll-off Shipping
for Self Propelled vehicles & Heavy Equipment
For Ro/Ro & FCL vehicle shipments, client/shippers will be instructed on our shipping docs/instructions regarding
where to deliver the cargo.
We can arrange: Economy Service
Client/shippers make their own arrangements
to package and load the cargo into FCL full containers. Any "door" moves must be from a commercially acceptable location for container truckers. Read more about FCL service:
"Live-Load"
and "Drop & Pick".
For smaller LCL cargo shipments,
if pickup is needed (for prepacked export cargo) we can utilize 3rd party "Line-Haul Truckers"
for transport to the Receiving/Shipping terminal.
If you are new to international shipping
and need to economize,
see our online archive of useful DIY "do it yourself" tips:
We can arrange: Origin/Destination Services
for HHG/PE shipments, where we utilize the local services of agents and 3rd party contractors.
Origin Services are optional extra services that include arranging for local labor/movers (O/A services).
O/A origin agent mover service covers inside-of-residence labor, packaging and loading directly into a container or
pickup, transfer to our designated export receiving/loading facility.
For vehicles, we provide referrals to known domestic transporters (if inland pickup/pier delivery is required).
Some destinations require cleaning/fumigation services for the cargo being shipped.
Where feasible, we provide qualified referrals and support as may be needed by our clientele.
Destination Services are optional extra services that include arranging for DDC destination customs clearance and delivery from port to door.
Book your international transport with Sefco, and we can assist
with arrangements for any local services that may be needed.
"Overseas Moving Specialists"
A note about our history in the overseas shipping industry.
Sefco's President, Joseph Quinn, has a long history in the export/import business -
starting at a family owned export purchasing and trading company during the '70's.
(read: more info about that history).
Mr. Quinn started his work in the "Overseas Moving" business in July 1986
and has since arranged several thousand individual cargo shipments.
We have arranged overseas moves on behalf of accounts
ranging from UN Missions (Government-paid)
to Private Individuals (Self-paid; students, retirees, all walks of life).
In 1986, the firm (OMS) was an established international shipping company based in New York City.
Reciprocal agents for customs clearance & delivery were located throughout the world.
The company literally had its own fleet of trucks, and a large in-house labor force (Teamsters Union, local 814).
Our city-block through building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn provides Export Packing services, as well as a full range of Ex/Im operations including a US Customs bonded CES container examination station. Many FMC licensed freight forwarders used our services for FCL container trucking, labor/packing, loading, etc.
[Read more company history...]
That history and operation has changed significantly
in the last 35+ years.
In the '70's and '80's we used telex and cables. No more.
Today - almost everything is information oriented. Its nearly all electronic.
Computers are central, email is how instructions are sent,
customs documentation is filed electronically (no more paper).
Labor Management has changed.
We do not have our own in-house labor force, situated along the waterfront.
Where needed, that is arranged as a 3rd party service. We arrange moves from ALL parts of the United States and sometimes from 3rd country to 3rd country. Sefco is an international freight forwarder, similar in some ways,
to how a travel agent books space on a airplane. But for cargo.
We often process US Customs AES/EEI export filings for our clients.
Where needed we help arrange additional export/import services at both ends of the voyage.
Our significant and substantive experience
in the international shipping business can be checked and verified by reading the testimonials
and feedback received from many hundreds of very real shippers, sent to us over several decades.
[Read more from our archives...]
Beyond Port to Port Shipping
When a customer needs local "origin & destination services" (movers/packers/craters, truckers, etc.)
we can help make the necessary arrangements.
Our shipments now originate from anywhere in the USA, as well as from/to points
all around the world. We have trade contacts and extensive market knowledge gained over 3 decades.
Any task requiring Origin Services,
would need to first be booked with SEFCO for at least the international transportation part of the job.
In general, we help with referrals and rate quotes from local providers (for export packing, other local services) close to where the cargo is located. If acceptable, our customer can pay for such local services directly (unless otherwise agreed.)
If Sefco Export arranges origin services (export packers/labor on site) there will be an additional handling charge for the time and arrangement, over the net cost from the service provider, quoted on a case by case basis.
Shipping internationally can have potentially complex requirements and unknown risks.
We have more than 35 years in the export/import shipping business,
and have arranged thousands of international shipments.

Sefco is the way to go.
