South Florida has two of the busiest ports in the US — Port Everglades and PortMiami — within 30 miles of each other. For importers on Caribbean, Latin American, and certain European trade lanes, clearance times here beat other East Coast ports.
Miami International Airport is one of the top international air cargo airports in the country. Same-day international dispatch from a South Florida warehouse is achievable via air freight to the UK, Germany, UAE, and beyond.
The concentration of import infrastructure means 3PLs in South Florida have natural advantages: port pickup capability, international carrier relationships, and expertise in customs documentation that inland warehouses simply do not have.
For brands shipping both domestically and internationally, a South Florida 3PL can serve as a single hub — receiving container freight, prepping for multiple channels, and dispatching to any address in the US or worldwide.
