International Shipping Services
Our experienced team is motivated by a vested interest in your shipment and delivering
At Texas Global Services, we provide complete international shipping services to move your freight safely, compliantly, and on time. Led by Diana Stinson and her professional team of global shipping specialists, we support you on every aspect of your international shipment-from documentation to final delivery. Whether you’re importing raw materials or exporting finished goods, we partner with industry-leading carriers and trusted freight agents worldwide to ensure your cargo reaches its destination.
Our International Shipping Services
The backbone of international shipping. Ocean freight is ideal for large, heavy, or oversized cargo that doesn’t require expedited delivery. We handle FCL (full container loads), LCL (less than container loads), and breakbulk shipments with professional packing and loading to ensure your goods arrive intact after weeks at sea.
Air Freight
Fast, flexible, and reliable. When your shipment is time-sensitive, air freight solves supply chain problems with regularly scheduled flights to almost anywhere in the world. While costs are higher, the ability to deliver quickly makes it the right choice for urgent cargo.
Container Shipping
Professional container shipping services with expert packing and loading. Your container spends weeks at sea-proper securing isn’t optional. We ensure your freight arrives intact at its destination.
Trucking
Domestic and international trucking services for project freight, oversized loads, and intermodal transportation. We coordinate seamless movement from port to final destination with full compliance.
Hazmat Shipping
On Board Carrier (OBC) service for critical parts, documents, or time-sensitive materials that must arrive with absolute certainty. When failure is not an option, hand carry ensures delivery.
Export Documents
Complete export documentation services including HS code research, customs clearance, letters of credit, and compliance paperwork. As an FMC licensed ocean transportation intermediary, we prevent costly delays at port.

International Shipping Tips for Success
Plan Ahead
Proper planning is imperative. Gathering information about your cargo, destination, and compliance requirements helps avoid delays and manage expectations.
Key questions to ask:
- Do you know the HS Codes for your products?
- Does your shipment comply with all regulations?
- Do you have a contingency plan for unexpected events?
Maintain Clear Communication
Detailed, accurate information is crucial. We keep all communication in writing and stay in regular contact throughout the entire process. This reduces misunderstandings and helps resolve issues quickly.
Track Your Shipment
Knowing the status and location of your freight isn’t just for peace of mind, early detection of issues helps ensure on-time arrival. We provide tracking and proactive updates every step of the way.
Understand Shipping Costs
Factors like fuel prices, weight, dimensions, shipping mode, and routes all influence costs. Understanding these variables helps with budgeting. We provide transparent quotes and find the most cost-effective solutions for your priorities.
Insure Your Cargo
Carriers are not liable for damage, even when at fault. We strongly recommend cargo insurance and we can arrange coverage to protect your investment during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answered by Diana Stinson
How much does it cost to import from China?
Import costs depend on freight mode, weight, dimensions, and tariffs. Contact us for a custom quote. I can help you with your HS Codes and reduce your tariffs possibly.
What determines my tariff payments?
Your product’s HS Code (Harmonized System Code) determines tariff rates. We provide HS code research to ensure accuracy.
Who is responsible for insuring my freight?
Carriers are not liable for damage, even when at fault. We strongly recommend cargo insurance and can arrange coverage.
How long after the ship arrives will I receive my goods?
Typically, 2-3 days after vessel arrival, I can coordinate customs clearance and delivery. This can take longer if there is a customs inspection or port congestion.
