Global Shipping Association (GSA) is Your Furniture Importing Specialist.
While your current volume does not justify signing a service contract for your imports, joining GSA will give the benefits of having your own contract.

What makes GSA different?
• Direct Service Contracts
You are listed on the service contract as a member of the Association, which gives you and your supplier direct access to carriers.

• Single Bill of Lading (MBL)
A MBL is issued by the carrier, which will reduce the problem of a missing or lost House Bill of Lading (HBL).

• Group Negotiations
Group negotiating allows not only lower rates, but also enables you to derive other benefits, such as, longer free time and caps on surcharges.

• Consistent Pricing
Rates are all inclusive: Peak Season Surcharge, Fuel Surcharge and Bunker Fuel; Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF).

• Loading Priority
You will be directly listed on the service contract; therefore, you are the ship line’s customer, not Freight Forwarder/NVO.
