Why CGLN?
Why Use CGLN Members?
If you are looking for a top-class logistics provider/freight forwarder, you expect reliability, expertise and personal attention. Whether it’s a one-off shipment or regular cargoes, large or small, local or the other side of the world, it's too valuable to be left to chance.
World Cargo Alliance delivers the best of independent freight forwarders. See what you get when you choose a World Cargo Alliance member:
Authority
CGLN's cooperation with the China International Freight Forwarders Association (CIFA), sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, brings Chinese and foreign forwarders together as much as possible and provides the optimum platform for Chinese and international freight forwarders to work together. CIFA is the largest freight forwarder association in China with more than 5,000 members. CIFA is CGLN's exclusive agent in the People's Republic of China and operates a CGLN representative office in Beijing.
Professional agents
To become a CGLN member, a freight forwarder must demonstrate quality, experience and financial strength. Less than one-third of all applications are accepted.
Worldwide coverage
Any network can claim “global coverage” but how many can deliver? CGLN is backed up by the WCA Family of more than 1117 member offices in 160-plus countries and more than 500 cities and ports.
Comprehensive insurance
CGLN members have exclusive access to a suite of industry-leading insurance products including Marine (cargo) cover at special low rates as well as total E&O/legal liability cover.
International teamwork
Meeting regularly with their fellow agents around the world at CGLN’s unique Sino-International Forwarders Conference (co-organised with CIFA) to personally discuss their clients’ needs, members develop a business relationship and understanding that multinational integrators cannot offer.
Peace of mind
Transactions between any two WCA Family member offices are covered by a financial guarantee up to a total USD50,000, underwritten by the power of WCA Family, stronger than the resources of all other networks combined.
Full service
CGLN members have the power to provide all the services a shipper needs, handling your shipment with the added bonus of local expertise to take care of any unusual requirements.
Technology
Members use a full suite of power tools provided by CGLN including online track and trace and rate quotation systems.
Value for money
With their superior local knowledge, CGLN members know how to obtain good rates for your cargo. The huge group buying power of WCA Family enables members to offer the best prices anywhere.
Accreditation
Every CGLN network member benefits from the All World Shipping group NVOCC – a fully compliant Bill of Lading which is legal for use in the US and China – plus all the approvals, licences and bonds they need to move your shipment without delays.
