Many clients of Rgrantr Logistics utilize our cross trade shipping services, also known as triangle shipping, to manage the distribution of products between countries without arriving in South Africa. For example, if your business is located in Cape Town, your supplier is in the U.K., and your end customers are in Japan, three countries are involved in this cross trade transaction – the country of origin, the destination, and your business in South Africa.
So, regardless of where your business is physically located, whether it’s in Cape Town or Hong Kong, as a seller, you can quickly expand your business in other countries through cross trade shipping, moving your products from one country to another.
The primary advantage of cross trade is the ability to expand your business globally without the added expense of bringing the product into your local country and then reselling it overseas. For example, if your supplier is in China and your end customer is in Japan, shipping directly from China to Japan would be far more cost-effective than shipping from China to South Africa and then on to Japan. A cross trade shipment eliminates the supply chain costs associated with importing the product to South Africa first – such as freight costs, duties, taxes, and storage. Production can be closer to the final destination, decentralizing the entire supply chain and significantly reducing transit times. All of this can be managed through one contact – your local freight forwarder, in your time zone – rather than trying to coordinate with an overseas forwarder to handle the cross trade process.
The international supply chain specialists at Rgrantr Logistics can assist in the smooth handling of exporting and importing requirements from one international point of origin to another international destination. Our team’s expert knowledge of free trade agreements between countries can provide advantages, and their ability to ensure the correct incoterms (international commercial shipping terms) are applied will prevent confusion about each party’s responsibilities and costs.
