About Us

American Multimodal International Deliveries (AMID) Logistics, LLC, was established in 2007. We are a licensed and bonded OTI - Ocean Transportation Intermediary, a U.S. Freight Forwarder. At our office in Northeast Philadelphia, PA, we support international sea freight shipping services virtually from any location in the United States to most countries in the world. Our primary focus is to arrange cargo movements, predominantly as LCL (Less than Container Load) freight, from the USA to destinations abroad. We dispatch such shipments via common carriers, book those shipments on behalf of shippers, prepare and process the documentation, and perform related activities pertaining to those shipments. LCL freight refers to international deliveries of cargo in boxes, crates, or stacked on pallets. We take pride in providing high-quality services to our customers, and you can read their testimonials on our website.

Our website has an integrated online freight calculator that makes it easier and more affordable to transport large cargo internationally. This real-time calculator is available 24/7 and provides free cost estimates for shipping goods from the U.S. overseas in different scenarios based on your particular circumstances. To learn more about how it works, check out this three-minute video on YouTube.

The online freight calculator is perfect for shipping commercial cargo, e-commerce shipping, and moving personal belongings and household goods from the USA to anywhere overseas. This convenient tool allows you to handle relatively large cargo deliveries from the comfort of your office or home. No matter which country you are in, you can now manage your international cargo deliveries with ease through the online freight calculator.

LCL freight is primarily designed for experienced exporters, but we also offer this service to ordinary customers. Our online freight calculator integrates direct freight rates from well-known and reliable Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (cargo consolidators). As a U.S. Freight Forwarder, we work on our service fee, which is separated from the carrier freight in our quotes and invoices. That allows us to offer shipping costs that are among the lowest on the market.

Recently, we launched a new version of the calculator at OceanFreightUSA.com. It is optimized for mobile devices, making it possible for you to manage your shipments even while on the go. 

Use our online freight calculator to get a quick price quote for your international shipment. Book your international shipment at your convenience, and we'll email you comprehensive shipping instructions within 24 business hours. Submit all necessary shipping documents online, and your cargo will be ready for shipping. Our team will handle all logistics to ensure a smooth and timely international delivery.

We are committed to handling your shipment until your goods arrive in the destination country. To help you better understand the process of shipping LCL freight with us, we have prepared a step-by-step guide. While the general procedures for shipping LCL freight from the US with any international cargo transportation company are similar, our guide is tailored to the specific requirements of shipping goods overseas with our online freight calculator. We hope this guide will provide you with the information you need to ensure a smooth shipping experience.

Question: What is a U.S. OTI - Ocean Transportation Intermediary?

According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations: An Ocean Transportation Intermediary is either an ocean Freight Forwarder or a non-vessel operating common carrier (“NVOCC”). An Ocean freight forwarder is an individual or company that dispatches shipments from the United States via common carriers and books or otherwise arranges space for those shipments on behalf of shippers. Ocean freight forwarders also prepare and process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to those shipments. An NVOCC is a common carrier that holds itself out to the public to provide ocean transportation, issues its own house bills of lading or equivalent document, but does not operate the vessels by which ocean transportation is provided, and is a shipper in relation to the involved ocean common carrier.
