03The challenge
Freight is where deals go to die.
Container delays, customs holds, MIS-labeled pallets. The freight forwarder you hired in 2022 is now ghosting you. Your inventory cover is two weeks. The launch slipped.
04Approach
Four moves, in order.
01
Mode selection
Air / sea / road / rail — picked against your inventory cover, not just price.
02
Customs ready
HS codes, duty optimization, and broker relationships in 8 markets.
03
FBA-aware
Pallet labels, polybags, ASN — Amazon-spec from origin.
04
Real-time tracking
One dashboard for every shipment, every leg.
05What's included
Every lever, in one engagement.
Mode selection
Air / sea / road / rail consolidation.
Customs clearance
HS codes + duty optimization.
FBA prep
Polybag + label + pallet to spec.
Pallet labeling
Amazon ASN + receiving codes.
Insurance

Tracking
One dashboard, every leg.
Returns logistics
Reverse flow + refurbishing.
Inventory forecasting
Tied to lead times + sales velocity.
06Process
How the cycle runs.
Four moves, repeated every quarter. Each one stacks on the last — compounding is the system, not an outcome we hope for.
02
02 · In transit
Real-time tracking + customs paperwork.
03
03 · Customs + last mile
Cleared, prepped to Amazon spec.
04
04 · FBA receipt
Confirmed received, inventory cover updated.

12FAQ
The questions we hear most.
Air or sea?
Sea for anything where 21-day port-to-shelf works. Air when inventory cover is below 30 days. We'll model the actual cost-per-day-saved.
Customs in which countries?
US, UK, EU, AU, JP, CA, AE — direct relationships. Other markets via partner brokers.
Do you handle returns?
Yes — reverse flow with refurbishing, restocking, or destruction depending on category.
Insurance?
Cargo insurance is standard on every shipment. We work with three underwriters and pick the right one for your category.
Do you do LTL?
Yes — less-than-container-load consolidation is most of what we do for sub-pallet volumes.
“We switched from a 35-day forwarder to Evolut's network. Cash-flow window opened up by two weeks.”
