For shipping, storage, packaging & customs companies
Every deal here needs moving.
Caravela is where FMCG manufacturers, distributors, importers and exporters trade with each other — and almost every deal between them needs shipping, storage, packing or customs clearance. Post the service you offer, say which countries you serve, and be found by the companies that need it.
- Every company checked by a person
- Annual membership
- No commission on trades
What you can do on Caravela
What a membership lets you do.
Post the service you offer
Shipping, warehousing, packaging, or freight forwarding and customs clearance — with the countries you serve, your capacity, and a rate per container, per shipment or per pallet a month, if you choose to show one.
- Service offered
Be found as a service
Services have their own tab in search and their own filter when members browse, narrowed by the countries you serve. The company directory lets members list every service company at once.
See where goods need to go
Buying requests say what is needed, how much, and in which country. The companies behind them are the ones that will need it shipped, stored and cleared.
- Buying request
Deal with checked companies
Every company was reviewed by a person before it joined: its commercial registration, and that the applicant works there. The enquiries you receive come from companies that were checked.
Who you’ll meet
The companies whose goods need moving.
Everyone else on Caravela makes, buys or sells goods. Each company says what it does and where it trades, so you can find the ones on the routes you already run.
Manufacturers & exporters
Factories sending finished goods to new markets, who need the freight, the packing and the export paperwork handled.
Importers & distributors
Companies bringing goods in, who need clearance at the port and space in a warehouse at the other end.
Brand owners
Companies with a product and no plant of their own, who need it packed, stored and delivered.
