About Platton
Platton is a digital freight forwarder for US importers, coordinating ocean and air freight, customs clearance, and inland delivery from carrier booking at origin to final receipt at your warehouse. One team runs the whole import cycle, so you are not juggling a handful of vendors to move one 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 across 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 are an importer filing 10 entries a month or a freight forwarder in the USA managing hundreds, Platton's operations team and technology cut filing delays and flag compliance gaps before they turn into holds, keeping every shipment on schedule from origin to delivery.
The workflow adapts to your cargo profile, whether FCL, LCL, air, or multi-modal. Every shipment runs the same structured process: confirmed booking, document preparation, customs coordination through licensed customs brokers, and proof of delivery at destination.
Full-Cycle Logistics for Every Shipment
Import freight involves dozens of handoffs: carrier confirmations, export paperwork, vessel tracking, customs filing, and inland transport. Platton runs the full chain so your team tracks progress in one place instead of chasing updates across carriers, brokers, and trucking dispatchers.
Customs Clearance
Licensed customs brokers handle ISF filing, entry preparation, bond coordination, and CBP release on every shipment, so your cargo clears without holds or last-minute scrambles. Learn more about customs clearance.
Cargo Management
Track every shipment by air, ocean, or drayage from origin departure through customs clearance and final delivery. One view for your entire freight pipeline, with status updates pushed to your team automatically. See the cargo management platform.
Client Portal and Reporting
Shipment history, documents, invoices, and compliance reports live in Platton's client portal. Every entry filing, bill of lading, and delivery receipt is stored and searchable, with no more digging through email attachments.
Core Logistics Services We Offer
Platton pairs freight operations with structured workflows to move cargo faster and with fewer surprises, across ocean, air, and inland transport, with customs coordination built into every shipment.
Air Freight for Time-Sensitive Imports
Platton's air freight service handles carrier booking, AWB issuance, export documentation, and US customs coordination for time-sensitive imports. When a stockout or a product launch cannot wait for ocean transit, we move it by air with confirmed space and clear delivery timelines.
Ocean Freight for High-Volume Importers
FCL and LCL ocean freight with confirmed carrier space, stable pricing, and full documentation coordination. Platton manages booking, vessel tracking, customs filing, and inland delivery, so importers get predictable transit without running every handoff themselves.
Customs Clearance for Compliant Entry Filing
ISF filing, customs entry preparation, tariff classification support, and CBP release coordination run through licensed customs brokers. Platton prepares every document correctly before your cargo arrives, so clearance happens on schedule, not after a hold.

Why Importers Choose Platton
Importers stay with Platton because the execution is consistent on every shipment. Here is what separates it from a traditional forwarder.
Accurate Documentation
Automated checks on HTS codes, commercial invoices, and ISF data catch errors before filing, cutting the 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 runs every shipment through the same structured workflow, so deadline-sensitive cargo clears customs before demurrage starts 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, no disconnected spreadsheets.
