International Freight

International Ocean Freight Specialists

Global Reach. Boutique Handling.

As a Federal Maritime Commission Licensed NVOCC (013406N), Trinity Shipping Company moves international ocean freight in both directions — import and export — across every major global trade lane. Whether you need a single pallet consolidated into an LCL (less-than-container-load) shipment or a dedicated FCL (full container load), our team manages the booking, documentation, and origin-to-destination coordination so your cargo moves on time and in compliance.

We built our reputation on white-glove handling of wine, spirits, and FDA-regulated commodities from all European wine-producing regions — and we bring that same temperature-aware, compliance-forward discipline to every container we touch. When the big forwarders won't pick up the phone, Trinity will.

01
Consolidation

Ocean LCL — Less-Than-Container-Load

Don't have enough volume to fill a full container? Trinity consolidates your LCL freight into shared containers on every major lane, so you only pay for the space you use. Ideal for boutique importers, small-batch wine and spirits shippers, and growing brands. Expert deconsolidation and FDA-aware handling at destination.

  • Weekly consolidation sailings
  • Pay only for the space you use
  • CFS receipt & deconsolidation
  • Pallet, crate & mixed-SKU cargo
  • Door-to-door or port-to-port
02
Full Container

Ocean FCL — Full Container Load

For higher-volume shipments, Trinity books dedicated 20', 40', and 40' high-cube containers across Trans-Atlantic, Trans-Pacific, and emerging-market lanes. Single-shipper control, faster transit, and the integrity of a sealed container from origin warehouse to your U.S. door.

  • 20', 40' & 40' high-cube equipment
  • Single-shipper sealed integrity
  • Competitive carrier contracts
  • Port drayage & inland delivery
  • Import & export, both directions
03
Temperature Control

Reefer & Temperature-Controlled

Wine, spirits, olive oil, specialty foods, and pharmaceuticals demand precise temperature management. Trinity coordinates refrigerated (reefer) containers and temperature-controlled handling with set-point monitoring, so your sensitive commodities arrive exactly as they left — no heat damage, no cold-chain gaps.

  • Refrigerated reefer containers
  • Set-point temperature monitoring
  • Wine & spirits cold-chain expertise
  • FDA-regulated & perishable goods
  • Insulated & controlled-atmosphere options
04
Project Cargo

Over-Dimensional & Break-Bulk

Cargo that won't fit a standard container is our kind of challenge. Trinity arranges flat-rack, open-top, and break-bulk solutions for over-dimensional and out-of-gauge freight — with the rigging, surveys, and lashing coordination heavy and oversized shipments require.

  • Flat-rack & open-top containers
  • Break-bulk & out-of-gauge cargo
  • Heavy-lift coordination
  • Lashing, bracing & survey support
  • Project freight planning
05
Compliance

Customs Clearance Partnership

Trinity coordinates full customs clearance through trusted, licensed customs broker partnerships. We are a freight handling and expediting partner — not a customs brokerage — so we manage the documentation, entry filing through our broker network, and FDA prior-notice coordination on your behalf, without you ever chasing a second vendor.

  • Licensed broker partner network
  • Entry filing coordination
  • FDA prior notice & compliance
  • ISF (10+2) filing support
  • Duties, tariffs & classification guidance
06
