# Airlift USA > Airlift USA is a licensed NVOCC and global freight forwarder (FMC-licensed, in business > since 1999) moving ocean FCL/LCL, air freight, trucking, customs clearance, ISF filing, > cargo insurance, and warehousing for US importers and exporters. The site offers instant > online rate search, container tracking, vessel schedules, a US tariff/duty simulator, > and a self-service customer portal for quoting and booking. Content on this site is written for shippers evaluating freight options. The pages most useful as reference material are the service pages (what each mode covers and how it is priced), the shipping-lane guides (transit times and port pairs for specific trade lanes), the commodity guides (handling and documentation requirements by cargo type), and the glossary (definitions of freight and customs terminology). ## How to get a quote Most shipments are quoted individually: the rate search shows live rates on lanes where they are available, and there is no published rate table. A shipper can send an enquiry from the form on any lane, port, office or service page, from [Contact us](https://airliftusa.com/contact-us), or by phone or email: - US: +1 877-724-7543 (New Jersey office: +1 732-650-0335) - India: +91-93513-74451 - Email: contact@airliftusa.com A useful quote request gives the origin and destination (city or port), the commodity (and HTS code if known), FCL container type and count or LCL/air weight and volume, the cargo-ready date, and the Incoterms. For the page that best matches a shipment, use the shipping-lane guide or port-pair page for the route, or the office page for the origin city (lists below). ## Core pages - [Home](https://airliftusa.com/): Overview of services, instant rates, and company positioning. - [About us](https://airliftusa.com/about-us): Company history, FMC/NVOCC licensing, and network coverage. - [Credentials](https://airliftusa.com/about-us/credentials): Verifiable facts in one place: FMC OTI license 016162 (NVOCC), FMCSA broker USDOT 2355713, in business since 1999, own offices by country, what Airlift does and does not do, and how to check each claim. - [Contact us](https://airliftusa.com/contact-us): Office locations, phone, and email. - [Talk to an expert](https://airliftusa.com/talk-to-expert): Request a callback from a freight specialist. - [Careers](https://airliftusa.com/careers): Open roles. - [Blog](https://airliftusa.com/blogs): Articles on freight rates, tariffs, regulation, and trade lanes. ## Services - [Ocean freight (FCL)](https://airliftusa.com/service/ocean-freight): Full-container-load ocean shipping. - [Ocean freight (LCL)](https://airliftusa.com/service/ocean-freight-lcl): Less-than-container-load consolidation. - [Air freight](https://airliftusa.com/service/air-freight): Airport-to-airport and door-to-door air cargo. - [Trucking and drayage](https://airliftusa.com/service/trucking-freight): Inland transport and port drayage. - [Transloading](https://airliftusa.com/service/transloading): Ocean container to 53-foot domestic trailer at partner warehouses near US ports and rail ramps. - [Customs clearance](https://airliftusa.com/service/custom-clearance-services): US customs brokerage and entry filing. - [Importer Security Filing (ISF)](https://airliftusa.com/service/importer-security-filing): ISF 10+2 filing for ocean imports. - [Cargo insurance](https://airliftusa.com/service/freight-cargo-insurance): All-risk marine and air cargo coverage. - [Warehousing](https://airliftusa.com/service/warehousing): Storage, cross-dock, and distribution. - [International shipping from the USA](https://airliftusa.com/service/international-shipping-from-usa): Door-to-door express export from the US to destinations worldwide. - [Freight forwarder in the USA](https://airliftusa.com/freight-forwarder-usa): What Airlift handles for US importers and exporters. - [Freight forwarder for India to USA](https://airliftusa.com/freight-forwarder-india-to-usa): Airlift's India-to-US service with its own offices at both ends. ## Shipping-lane guides Each lane guide covers ports, typical transit-time ranges, documents and customs steps for the lane.
