About Platton
Platton was built for US importers who needed one accountable partner — not a patchwork of carriers, brokers, and trucking vendors each managing their own piece. We operate across every leg of the import cycle with one team, one contact, and one standard of execution on every shipment.
How Platton Works for US Importers
Platton coordinates the full import cycle for businesses shipping into the USA from China, India, Vietnam, Europe, and Asia. We handle carrier booking, export documentation, ocean and air transit, customs clearance, and final delivery, so importers work with one team instead of managing five separate vendors.
Whether you're an importer filing 10 entries a month or a freight forwarder in the USA managing hundreds, Platton's operations team and technology reduce filing delays, flag compliance gaps before they become holds, and keep every shipment on schedule from origin to delivery.
Our workflows adapt to your cargo profile, whether FCL, LCL, air, or multi-modal. Every shipment gets the same structured process: confirmed booking, document preparation, customs coordination through our partner licensed brokers, and proof of delivery at destination.
Full-Cycle Logistics for Every Shipment
Import freight involves dozens of handoffs, including carrier confirmations, export paperwork, vessel tracking, customs filing, and inland transport. Platton manages the full chain so your team tracks progress in one place instead of chasing updates across carriers, brokers, and trucking dispatchers.
Customs Clearance
Our partner licensed brokers handle ISF filing, entry preparation, bond coordination, and CBP release on every shipment — so your cargo clears without holds or last-minute scrambles.

Platton combines freight operations expertise with structured workflows to move your cargo faster and with fewer surprises. We support ocean, air, and inland transport with customs coordination built into every shipment.
Air Freight — Fast, Reliable, and Global Delivery
Platton's air freight service handles carrier booking, AWB issuance, export documentation, and US customs coordination for time-sensitive imports. When a stockout or product launch can't wait for ocean transit, we move it by air with confirmed space and clear delivery timelines.

Customs Clearance — Compliant Entry Filing for Every Shipment

Why Importers Choose Platton
Importers stay with Platton because we deliver consistent execution on every shipment. Here's what sets us apart from a traditional forwarder:
Accurate Documentation
Automated checks on HTS codes, commercial invoices, and ISF data catch errors before filing, reducing CBP rejections and customs holds that can delay cargo release by days.
Speed at Scale
Whether you file 10 entries a month or 200, Platton processes every shipment with the same structured workflow, so deadline-sensitive cargo clears customs before demurrage charges start accruing.
Connected Integration
Platton connects to your ERP, TMS, or WMS via API, so shipment data, documents, and status updates flow into the systems your team already uses. No duplicate data entry and no disconnected spreadsheets.
