Gateway logistics services from Miami FTZ
Miami has long been the natural logistics gateway between the United States and Latin America. Through our FTZ-certified facility, Interworld Freight provides bonded warehousing, multi-modal consolidation and end-to-end transport solutions connecting global origins with every major destination across the Caribbean and Latin America.
Our Miami FTZ hub combines ocean, air and in-bond capabilities under one roof, allowing importers, exporters and forwarders to re-export cargo efficiently while maintaining compliance, control and speed.
A logistics gateway centralizes cargo flows from multiple origins, processes them under customs control and redistributes them to their final destinations. The Miami Free Trade Zone enables exactly that: duty deferral, bonded storage and simplified export operations that keep inventory moving instead of sitting at port.

Why Miami for LATAM shipping
3-hour flight radius
Within a 3-hour flight radius, most Latin American markets can be reached the same day, supported by one of the densest air-freight networks in the hemisphere.
Faster frequencies & better rates
Consolidated LCL and air freight to key markets several times per week; regular bookings with regional carriers ensure consistent departures, controlled costs and predictable delivery windows.
Caribbean, Central America & Andean region
Coverage balancing speed and reliability for both commercial and industrial cargo.
FTZ advantages
Why the Miami FTZ matters for LATAM shipping
For shipments to LATAM, Miami offers unmatched connectivity and a customs structure built for re-exports.
Duty deferral, re-export & in-bond advantages
Operating within an FTZ means duties are deferred until cargo enters U.S. commerce, or never paid if re-exported. Consolidate goods from Asia or Europe and dispatch directly to LATAM without double taxation, with re-export and transshipment managed in strict compliance with U.S. CBP regulations.
Consolidation, deconsolidation & cross-docking at scale
Our Miami FTZ facility handles large-scale ocean and air consolidations daily. Containers can be stripped, sorted and re-loaded into multiple outbound shipments; cross-docking supports scheduled and just-in-time flows and a rapid pivot from ocean to air in urgent scenarios.
Compliance & documentation at the gateway
Full documentation and export control procedures inside the FTZ: commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates reviewed for destination compliance before release, for re-exports and entries into U.S. domestic consumption under CBP, TSA and international requirements.
Pricing & quotes
Rates depend on transport mode, volume, Incoterms and value-added services selected. Our pricing model remains transparent and adaptable to your operational needs.
