What is Cross Trade Shipping?

What is Cross Trade Shipping?

Cross trade shipping refers to cargo that is transported between two countries outside of the origin country of the freight forwarder. For example, if you’re based in the UAE but need to ship goods from China to Nigeria, that’s a cross trade shipment. You manage the process from the UAE—but the cargo never enters it.

It’s a flexible model used by global traders, sourcing agents, distributors, and re-exporters to cut costs and improve turnaround time.
