Packaging - CVInternational

Global Logistics & Customs Solutions for the Packaging Industry

The packaging industry operates on razor-thin margins with constant pressure to balance cost efficiency against supply chain reliability. Whether you're importing flexible films, corrugated materials, rigid containers, or specialty machinery, your operations depend on consistent material flow that keeps production lines running and customers satisfied.

Global sourcing from Asia, Europe, and Latin America introduces complexity: varying lead times, evolving trade regulations, and coordination challenges across multiple suppliers. When delays disrupt your supply chain or customs issues hold up critical shipments, the downstream impact affects your customers' production schedules—and your reputation as a reliable partner.

The Unique Challenges

The packaging industry faces distinct logistics pressures driven by high-volume imports, tight production schedules, and the need to coordinate raw materials with finished goods across complex global supply chains.

Just-in-time production pressure: Minimal inventory buffers mean even short material delays can halt production lines and create costly disruptions for your customers.
Tariff classification complexity: Distinguishing between raw materials, semi-finished components, and finished products requires precise HTS codes—errors result in duty overpayments or compliance risk.
Multi-supplier consolidation: Coordinating shipments from multiple Asian suppliers into consolidated containers demands precise timing and documentation to avoid production gaps or excess inventory.
Regulatory scrutiny on materials: Plastics, adhesives, and coatings face heightened customs review for environmental compliance, safety certifications, and accurate product descriptions.
