Full-container programs tuned to Central America–U.S. schedules. We book with intention, track the box, and keep you ahead of cutoffs — not chasing them.
Central America · Ocean · Air · Customs
Landmark Freight connects Central American exporters and U.S. importers with ocean and air forwarding, preferential-duty customs expertise, and one desk that stays with the shipment until it clears.
Founded in 2007, Landmark Freight has grown with the apparel, textile, and general cargo lanes that link Central America — especially Guatemala — to U.S. ports and airports. We know the rhythm of those sailings, the paperwork that unlocks CAFTA-DR and other preferential rates, and the moments when a shipment needs a broker who answers the same day.
Many clients bring us the full move: booking, documents, and clearance. Others come for customs only — and we treat that work with the same urgency. Either way, you get a U.S.-based team that stays reachable in real time, which is why more Guatemala factories and exporters keep Landmark Freight on speed dial.
Freight, preferential customs, bonds, and coordination — under one roof.
Full-container programs tuned to Central America–U.S. schedules. We book with intention, track the box, and keep you ahead of cutoffs — not chasing them.
When volume is leaner, consolidation still has to be precise. We arrange LCL so smaller lots move on time without losing visibility or control.
Samples, replenishment, and time-critical cargo when the calendar will not wait for the next sailing. Clear routing options and transit updates you can act on.
Classification, entry, and preference claims done carefully — including CAFTA-DR and partial-duty strategies that protect landed cost. Customs-only filings welcome. Clearance available nationwide — Miami, Chicago, LAX, SFO, Dallas, and other U.S. ports and airports where your cargo arrives.
Need a continuous or single-entry bond to keep cargo moving? We can arrange bonds through Landmark so clearance is not waiting on a separate vendor chase.
Status, documents, and handoffs in one conversation. Fewer forwarded threads, fewer surprises — from booking through delivery readiness.
Confidence at the border. Clarity on the water and in the air.
