Elite Cargo Solutions
About Elite Cargo Solutions
Fifteen years of moving industrial, commercial and personal freight across the world's busiest trade lanes.
Who we are
Elite Cargo Solutions is a licensed freight forwarder and customs broker handling door-to-door movements by air, sea and road. We were founded in 2009 as a small road haulage brokerage and now operate a global network of offices, bonded warehouses and partner carriers.
Every consignment we accept is assigned a single tracking reference and a named coordinator. Documentation, customs clearance, insurance and final-mile delivery are handled in house, so there is one accountable party from collection to signature.
Our network
Owned offices in Chicago, Rotterdam, Felixstowe, Manchester, Dubai, Sydney and Singapore, backed by vetted agents in 120 countries.
Our people
Over 400 staff — customs brokers, load planners, warehouse crews and a 24-hour operations desk.

Client feedback
Trusted by shippers on six continents
Importers, manufacturers and private shippers who rely on our desks every week.
“We move pharmaceutical consignments on tight temperature windows. Elite Cargo has never missed a cut-off, and the milestone tracking means our clients stop calling us for updates.”
ANDr. Amara NwosuSupply Chain Director, Medisure Pharma
“Their customs desk cleared a 40ft machinery container in Rotterdam in under 48 hours. Documentation was flawless and the demurrage bill was zero.”
LVLukas VermeerOperations Manager, Vermeer Industrial
“As a small exporter I was ignored by the big forwarders. Elite Cargo gave me a named coordinator and honest rates on every LCL sailing to Felixstowe.”
GMGrace MbekiFounder, Sahel Textiles Export
“Twelve cross-border truck loads a week, live checkpoints on every one. Our warehouse team plans labour off their tracking page now.”
