International Trade
Sourcing, inspection, consolidation, and export documentation for shipments between the United States and West Africa.
Twin Coast coordinates the work around a shipment from the United States to West Africa: finding and checking suppliers, arranging inspection, bringing goods together, and preparing the export documents.
Shipments move through licensed freight forwarders and customs brokers. We coordinate with them on your behalf, so you have one contact from the first quote to delivery in Monrovia.
How a shipment moves
Supplier sourcing and verification
We find suppliers for the goods on your order and verify the business, the product, and the price before anything is committed.
Pre-shipment inspection coordination
We schedule inspection of quantity, condition, and labeling before goods leave the supplier, and share the results with you.
Consolidation
Goods from several suppliers are brought together so they ship as one consignment.
Export documentation
We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin for each shipment.
Clearance coordination in Monrovia
Our operations partner in Monrovia, Liberia coordinates with the customs broker on arrival and confirms delivery.
