Who We Are

Based in Arizona,
Moving the World

Founded in 2010 in Arizona, Global Tropical Cargo was born out of a simple but powerful conviction: every business — no matter its size — deserves reliable, transparent, and affordable freight solutions. Strategically headquartered in the heart of America's energy and trade capital, we were built to connect U.S. businesses to the world.

From humble beginnings managing regional road haulage across the Gulf Coast, we have grown into a full-spectrum logistics company with capabilities spanning sea freight, air cargo, customs brokerage, warehousing, and last-mile delivery across more than 38 countries on four continents.

Our approach is deeply human. We don't just move boxes — we build partnerships, solve supply chain puzzles, and celebrate every shipment that reaches its destination safely and on schedule.

Licensed & Insured Fully certified by national and international freight bodies with comprehensive cargo insurance.

Global Network Strategic partnerships with leading carriers and port agents across every major trade lane.

Technology-Driven Real-time shipment tracking, digital documentation, and automated customs filing for total visibility.
