We Set The Benchmark

At Jade International, we have three core values that define our work: IntegrityHard-Work, and Community. As a company, we strive to be virtuous in our work and personal lives, which allows us to build trust with our exporters and importers. The relationships we develop with our clients are invaluable to us as we gain not only their faith in our abilities, but confidence in our company. The integrity of our staff is seen in the dedication they have to our craft. Our staff works diligently and extensively to ensure the tasks are completed, especially time-sensitive shipments. As we do what we are so passionate about, we have grown closer together as more than just co-workers. Jade is a family of all different personalities and people who have come together for one reason; serving our clients.

Who we are…

The easiest way to describe our function for your company is to say that we are “travel agents” for your freight. You tell us what goes where, and we get it there. The industry is much more involved though. We deal with Customs, agents, carriers, airlines, truckers and much more so you don’t have to. To us, the client is not only the basis of our business but also the fascinating part. The products that we ship are endless and each one is interesting in its own way. We love to learn more about what our clients are shipping and we can assist your businesses growth internationally. Ship it the simple way, ship it Jade.
