Our Story: Driving Global Commerce
Big Exports – Global Trade, Export Services & International Logistics
📜 From Local Experts to Global Facilitators
Big Exports was founded in 2008 by a small team of trade compliance specialists who realized the immense friction faced by small to medium enterprises (SMEs) trying to break into international markets. Initially operating out of a single office handling documentation for Asia-Pacific trade routes, our mission was simple: to make exporting as easy as domestic shipping.
Over the next five years, we successfully navigated complex regulatory shifts, including the rise of digital customs filing and evolving global security standards. Our focus on transparency and predictable pricing quickly set us apart from traditional freight forwarders, leading to a rapid expansion of our logistics network across North America and Europe.
Today, Big Exports manages a multi-modal network spanning over 120 countries. We are proud of our history of turning complex, high-risk trade processes into secure, streamlined digital experiences, allowing our clients to focus on product and market growth, not paperwork.
⭐ Core Values That Drive Us
- Integrity: Operating with absolute honesty in all compliance and financial dealings.
- Innovation: Continuously investing in AI and blockchain solutions for faster, smarter logistics.
- Client-Centricity: Placing the client’s growth objectives at the heart of every logistical decision.
