Specializing in the bustling trade lanes from China, Taiwan, and Singapore, they facilitate the export of approximately 7,000 containers weekly.

Our Partnership: A Strategic Alliance


In our pursuit of excellence, Baum Shipping’s strategic alliance with one of the globe’s foremost freight forwarders is a game changer for our Asia import services. This partnership brings together over a century of combined expertise in global logistics, providing an unprecedented level of operational efficiency and market penetration.

Our partner ranks among the top three for several reasons:

  1. Their expansive network that spans all major continents
  2. Their capacity to handle a staggering volume of shipments with precision
  3. Their adoption of cutting-edge technology for logistics management.

This alliance not only expands our geographical reach but also enhances our capabilities in handling diverse cargo types including hazardous materials, perishables, and oversized goods.



Air Freight vs. Ocean Freight for Asia Imports


Ocean Freight

For larger quantity shipments, ocean freight is an economical and environmentally friendly option. Our strategic partnership grants us access to some of the largest and most eco-efficient vessels operating out of Asia. We offer various container options, including full container load (FCL), less than container load (LCL), and specialized freight services like refrigerated containers for temperature-sensitive goods.

Ocean freight is not just about cost savings; it’s about scalability and sustainability. We manage all aspects of maritime shipping from vessel booking, container loading, and shipment tracking to port and customs clearance. Our extensive network ensures we can provide the most timely and cost-effective shipping routes, optimizing your supply chain and reducing your carbon footprint.

At Baum Shipping, we recognize the unique needs of every business. Our state-of-the-art warehousing and transloading facilities at the Tijuana and Mexicali borders are designed to cater to a diverse range of requirements. Whether it’s short-term storage or specialized handling of goods, our facilities are equipped to provide tailored solutions.

Air Freight

When speed is of the essence, our air freight services offer a swift and secure alternative to ocean transport. Baum Shipping’s air freight solutions are designed for industries where lead time and product life cycles are critical factors, such as electronics, fashion, and pharmaceuticals. We provide a range of air freight services from express flights to consolidated weekly flights, ensuring flexibility according to your scheduling needs.

Our partnership with top-tier carriers means priority boarding for our shipments, less handling, and tighter security, thus maintaining the integrity of your high-value or fragile goods. Our expert teams also handle all aspects of air cargo transport from ground handling to customs clearance, ensuring your goods are delivered on time and in perfect condition.



Overcoming Industry Challenges


Navigating the complex landscape of Asian import logistics presents a variety of challenges, from regulatory environments and infrastructure limitations to fluctuating market demands and geopolitical impacts. At Baum Shipping, we are uniquely equipped to tackle these issues head-on, ensuring smooth and efficient transport of goods.

  • Regulatory Expertise – Each country in Asia has its own set of import regulations, trade agreements, and customs processes, which can be daunting for many businesses. Our team’s expertise in local regulations is comprehensive. We stay abreast of the latest changes in trade laws and customs procedures, especially in pivotal markets like China, Taiwan, and Singapore. This proactive approach not only helps in avoiding costly delays and fines but also in leveraging favorable trade agreements that reduce import-export costs for our clients.
  • Infrastructure Navigation – Despite rapid development, some regions in Asia still struggle with infrastructural challenges that can hinder logistics operations, such as congested ports or less developed inland transportation networks. Baum Shipping leverages its partnership with a top-tier freight forwarder to access alternative routes and multi-modal transport solutions. This flexibility allows us to bypass common bottlenecks, ensuring faster and more reliable delivery.
  • Capacity and Demand Management – Market fluctuations can significantly impact shipping schedules and capacity availability. Our strategic partnership provides us with critical insights and forecasts that enable us to anticipate these changes and plan accordingly. Whether it’s securing additional capacity during peak seasons or finding cost-effective solutions during slower periods, our clients benefit from our ability to adapt quickly to market conditions.
  • Technological Integration – We employ advanced technology to enhance our logistics operations, from AI-driven route optimization to blockchain for secure, transparent documentation processes. These technologies not only increase operational efficiency but also provide our clients with real-time tracking and updates about their shipments, enhancing visibility and control over their supply chains.

By mastering these challenges, Baum Shipping not only ensures the smooth flow of your goods but also strengthens your position in the competitive Asian market. With our strategic resources and expert team, we turn logistical challenges into opportunities for your business growth.
