Frequently Asked Questions
What does a freight forwarder in Houston do?
A freight forwarder arranges the movement of your cargo without owning the ships, planes, or trucks. We book ocean, air, and trucking capacity, prepare export and import documentation, clear customs, and coordinate every handoff from origin to final destination. For Houston exporters, that means tapping the Port of Houston and Bush Intercontinental while we manage the logistics behind the scenes.
Why work with a Houston-based freight forwarder?
A local forwarder knows the Port of Houston, the regional trucking lanes, and the customs and crating resources on the ground here. Being on the ground here speeds up project cargo, heavy machinery, and oil and gas shipments moving through the Gulf Coast, and it puts a real person nearby when a shipment needs hands-on coordination.
What types of cargo does Texas International Freight handle?
We specialize in heavy and oversized industrial cargo: construction equipment, mining machinery, oil and gas gear, agricultural equipment, and breakbulk project loads. We move standard freight too, by container, air, and trucking, but our depth is in the heavy, complex shipments many forwarders avoid.
Do you handle both imports and exports?
Yes. We export cargo from the US worldwide and import equipment into the US, handling customs documentation, classification, and delivery in both directions. Many of our clients run both, sending equipment to overseas projects and bringing machinery or parts back.
How do I get a freight quote?
Call +1 877-489-9184 or email ship@txintlfreight.com with your cargo details: what it is, its dimensions and weight, the origin, and the destination. We come back with routing options and a clear door-to-door price so you can plan the move with no surprises.
