The Unique Challenges

The energy and renewables sector operate under constraints that standard supply chains don't face. Installation schedules are dictated by weather windows, outage schedules, and grid connection deadlines, with oversized components sourced globally from multiple independent suppliers.

Specialized cargo handling: Wind turbine components, utility-scale transformers, and electrical switchgear require heavy lift coordination that generic freight forwarders can't accommodate
Sequencing precision: Multi-origin shipments must arrive in precise installation sequence to match weather windows, outage schedules, or vessel availability
Regulatory complexity: Tariff classifications for renewable energy equipment and power infrastructure components face heightened CBP scrutiny and frequent regulatory changes
Rigid timelines: Installation schedules are dictated by grid connection deadlines, seasonal weather, or planned utility outages—with zero flexibility when delays occur

How CVI Supports Renewable Energy Projects We tailor individual solutions to meet the unique needs of our customers, given every supply chain is different.

Customs Brokerage & Classification

Our licensed brokers classify wind turbines, solar panels, inverters, and energy storage systems with attention to HTS code accuracy, duty optimization, and audit-ready documentation.

Project Logistics & Heavy Cargo

We coordinate end-to-end transportation for oversized wind turbine components, transformers, and specialized equipment—including specialized routing, heavy lift coordination, and multi-modal planning from origin to installation site.

Multi-Supplier Consolidation

We synchronize shipments from multiple international origins to arrive in proper installation sequence, managing pickup timing and supplier communication to prevent components from arriving out of order.

Regulatory Monitoring

We track Section 301 tariff updates and trade policy changes affecting renewable energy imports, alerting you to supply chain impacts and helping you adjust classifications or sourcing strategies.

Real-Time Visibility

Our CVInsight platform provides milestone-level tracking at every critical stage with proactive alerts when exceptions occur—no vague "in transit" updates.
