History
2008
Starting its shipping history in 2008, Global Aim Trading and Shipping embarked on a journey filled with challenges and triumphs. It began as a family business with a dedicated team managing all operations within the organization.
Gaining the trust of new customers was a significant hurdle initially, given the substantial responsibility associated with handling their goods. Global Aim's commitment to excellence and reliability began to shine through within a year of its establishment, attracting more clients to collaborate with the company.
As the client base expanded, so did the Global Aim family. The team gradually grew, necessitating a move to larger offices to accommodate the increasing business demands. This growth was a testament to the hard work and dedication put in by everyone involved, from the ground up, to bring the company to where it stands today.
Today
Eighteen years on, Global Aim caters to a wide array of services, which include, but are not limited to: Ex-Works, FOB, clearing, trucking, consolidation, air freight, land freight, sea freight, insurance, export and cross shipments.

We value
Global Aim values speed, reliability, and an all-encompassing experience, in order to relieve its customers from the strenuous operations that shipping entails.
It is for this reason that Global Aim strives for innovation: to better the experience of a conservative and overwhelming industry full of roadblocks and curveballs, and to provide clarity and ease of access for first-time shippers looking to expand their trade business.
Our services
Worry-free, fast, reliable and simple — that is the experience Global Aim strives to deliver. We cater to a wide variety of services to ensure your shipment reaches its destination as efficiently as possible, while relieving you of the strenuous operations that shipping entails.
- Ex-Works
- Ex-Works ensures that your cargo's inland transportation from your supplier to the port of loading, and the authentication of its papers, are taken care of in the country of origin — so it reaches the port fully ready to be loaded onto a vessel.
- FOB
- Free-on-board is an operation that observes the shipment's journey on a vessel, throughout its sailing from the port of loading to the port of discharge.
- Air, land and sea freight
- A shipment can reach its destination in a multitude of ways — by plane, by ship or by truck — and can even employ different methods within one journey.
- LCL
- If your commodities do not require a full container, you can opt for a consolidated container: you reserve a specific volume within a shared container alongside other buyers, cutting unnecessary cost.
- Customs and clearing
- Customs clearance is a legal process for both importing and exporting goods, requiring paperwork detailing the goods and their manufacturers before they are cleared for export, or for use in the country of destination.
- Export
- Export is the process of transporting cargo outside its country of origin or manufacture, a process involving the paperwork required when moving goods across a border.
- Insurance
- A safety net protecting your commodities from misfortune throughout the transport process — contingencies such as damage by fire or water leakage, or the total loss of your container.
