Electronics Ocean Freight Forwarder for Semiconductors and Consumer Electronics
FCL, expedited air, temperature- and humidity-monitored containers, and FTZ bonded storage — paired with launch-window discipline and Section 301 tariff mitigation. One NVOCC platform from fab to store shelf.
Lanes we run for electronics
Shenzhen to LAX in 16 days. Direct contracts on the corridors your cargo actually moves on.
Built for electronics
FCL, expedited air, temperature-monitored, FTZ storage, Section 301 mitigation.
Expedited air with SLA
Same-week air charter or named-flight service for product launches, warranty returns, and component shortages. Tail-number-level tracking.
Temperature & humidity monitored
IoT data loggers on every container for heat-sensitive displays, LiPo batteries, and high-end semiconductors. Live alerts on excursions.
FTZ bonded storage
Park inventory in Foreign Trade Zone warehouses. Duty deferred until release, idle inventory stays off the books.
Section 301 mitigation
Section 301 China tariffs on electronics scope $370B+. We mitigate via tariff engineering, Chapter 98, and substantial transformation analysis.
High-value cargo security
GPS-tracked container seals, vetted drayage carriers, full replacement-value insurance. Built for cargo at $1M+ per container.
Air-ocean dual modal
Same Gateway booking handles ocean baseline and air rush. Switch modes mid-program when launches accelerate or components catch up.

Freight engineered to your launch date, not your "best effort"
Most ocean forwarders quote a transit time and email an ETA. Electronics is different — your launch date is on the box, your marketing budget is committed, and the chip shortage just changed the math.
Gateway runs launch-window discipline: ocean baseline locked months out, air rush capacity reserved, named-flight service on charter when needed, and proactive escalation the moment any leg threatens the launch date.
Every container, pallet, and air shipment is plotted against your launch calendar in the Gateway dashboard. Marketing, ops, and supply chain all watch the same data — no surprise delays the day before street date.
Connect your stack — Gateway integrates
Plug Gateway into the systems your supply chain already runs on. POs, ASNs, ETAs, and customs status stay in sync with launch and inventory plans.

High-value cargo security
Container seals, GPS monitoring, insured to full replacement value, drayage vetted for cargo theft risk.
Component shortage playbook
When the market goes sideways, we source alternate carrier space and air charter in 24 hours.
