Thank you

Thank you, Ali

You answered Soumya the same day, and you answered with the service list rather than a brochure.

You also said something most people leave out: that you would want your USA-origin cargo moving to the Gulf through us, not only ours moving to you. A partnership that only runs one way is an agency agreement with extra steps.

So this is our side, in writing, before we speak — with the numbers rather than the adjectives.

About your company

HERCO Freight Forwarders, Inc.

Miami, Florida · WCA member, thirteen years · JCtrans · IATA · PartnerPay

What you told us you doWhere it meets us
Import and export customs clearanceBoth waysThe first thing our shippers ask about the US
DDP, DDU and EXWBoth waysGulf customers ask for delivered pricing far more than they ask for a port rate
Warehousing and 3PL fulfilmentUSAThe half we cannot offer from Dubai
Last-mile across the USUSAWhere a shipment stops being ours and has to stay with someone we trust
Air and ocean, FCL, LCL and consolidatedBoth waysMatches our own list, top to bottom

Project and specialised cargo is on your list too. It is on ours, and it is the work that does not go to whoever is cheapest that week.

Why this starts from further along than most

We are already in the same room.
Thirteen years of it, in your case.

You raised the shared membership yourself, and it matters: PartnerPay means neither of us is asking the other to take a stranger's credit on trust. Every membership above is held in our own name and is verifiable with the issuing body — our WCA and JCtrans numbers are on the marks. We are ISO 9001 certified and an IATA CASS cargo agent.

PartnerPay, Risk Management, the InterGlobal network and the World Quotation System. That is not a company that needs checking, and we have not treated you like one. It is why this conversation starts at what we would ship together, rather than at whether we can trust each other.

What we move to and from you

You said two-way.
Our US book already is.

111
TEU from the Gulf
into the USA
86
TEU from the USA
into the Gulf
2.5 t
Air freight out
38.2 t
Air freight in

By sea it is close to balanced — which is exactly the shape you described wanting. By air we are overwhelmingly an importer from the USA, fifteen tonnes in for every one out. Your USA-origin cargo is not a favour to us; it is the half of the lane we cannot fill ourselves.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE are our two biggest US desks, at 60 and 50 TEU outbound. Kuwait has not returned its export column, so 111 is a floor.

948 US enquiries reached our desks in the last three months, from 496 different customers — counted as separate conversations, not emails. 239 of them were live rate requests. Over twelve months it is 2,642 conversations from 1,128 customers. That is the flow that needs someone at your end.

The same thing, on a map

Jebel Ali and Jeddah at our end.
Miami at yours.

JEBEL ALIMIAMIJEDDAHNEW YORKHOUSTONSAVANNAH

Real great circles between real ports, not a hub with rays. Jebel Ali and Jeddah are the two offices that carry the US book.

What we hope for

One partner in the USA, working both directions

01

Destination charges into Miami

One 40' container — port charges, clearance, and then delivered to the door.

02

Your USA-origin cargo

You raised it first. What moves to the Gulf today, from where, and how often?

03

Air export out of the US

The inbound air leg is fifteen to one against us. It is the fastest thing we could grow together.

04

Your sales team emails

So live enquiries reach Rachel, Leandro, Thais and Alex directly as they arrive.

There is no hurry on any of it. Send them whenever it suits you.

Next step

We are on the call this evening.
Tuesday 8 September · 11:00 Eastern, Miami (19:00 Dubai).
Soumya, who wrote to you first, is on it with me.

And you are very welcome in Dubai any time you are in the region.
