Est. 2014 · Ontario, California

We started because your container can't wait.

CargoNow was founded in 2014 by a team of former carrier ops managers and licensed customs brokers who were tired of watching importers lose money to demurrage on containers that should have been released days earlier.

[ MISSION ]

Move the immovable.

Every freight forwarder can move easy cargo. Easy cargo doesn't need a freight forwarder. We built CargoNow around the hard cases — stuck containers, CBP exams, Section 301 strategy, air-to-ocean re-routing under deadline pressure.

Today we move over 12,000 TEU per year from China to California for e-commerce brands, industrial importers, and 3PLs who need an ops team that picks up the phone after hours.

[ APPROACH ]

Three rules.

  1. 01

    One owner per shipment.

    You get a single point of contact who actually knows your container number, not a ticket queue.

  2. 02

    Direct port relationships.

    We file customs directly and have escalation paths inside CBP, the terminals, and the exam stations.

  3. 03

    Transparent ops.

    Real updates, real ETAs, real cost breakdowns. No surprise invoices when the container hits the warehouse.
