We Benchmark the Global Rates Your Forwarder Calls Competitive

International pricing is built to resist comparison. Air, ocean, and ground rates are structured differently by every provider, and the freight forwarders and brokers moving your freight optimize for their margins — not yours. Without independent data, “competitive” is just what you’re told.

ICC closes that gap with 50+ years of global rate intelligence and an established network of international providers, so you walk into every negotiation knowing exactly what a competitive global rate looks like — and how to secure it.

  • Benchmark your international rates against what global shippers actually pay.

  • Review your existing air, ocean, and ground contracts for hidden exposure.

  • Negotiate stronger terms across every international shipping mode.

  • Connect with reliable international providers offering the best pricing.

  • Audit international invoices so you pay only for services received.

Global Expansion Is Where Shipping Costs Hide

Expanding across borders strains your logistics network, and the forwarders and brokers you rely on often struggle to secure the most competitive rates. Without independent benchmarking, international pricing is nearly impossible to compare — and the overpayment compounds on every shipment.

Opaque Global Rates

Air, ocean, and ground are priced differently by every provider, so quotes for the same lane never line up. Without benchmarks, “competitive” is unverifiable.

Broker Blind Spots

Freight forwarders and brokers optimize for their own margins. You rarely see the best available rate — only the one that works for them.

Unaudited Invoices

International invoices go unchecked shipment after shipment, and you end up paying for accessorials and services you never actually received.

Real Savings on Every Global Lane.

ICC’s value isn’t theoretical. Clients benchmark their global rates, correct costly billing errors, and secure better international terms across air, ocean, and ground — without disrupting service.

Common Questions About International Logistics Consulting

When did you last benchmark your international rates?
Most shippers can’t remember — and fewer still check their global rates against what comparable shippers actually pay. Before you renew or expand, you need to know how air, ocean, and ground rate increases have hit your lanes and how your terms compare. That’s exactly what the Logistics Cost Review shows you.

Which industries and shipping modes do you cover?
All major international modes — air, ocean, and ground — across a wide range of industries, including retail, e-commerce, import/export, manufacturing, distribution, food and beverage, automotive, beauty and personal care, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, furniture, metals, and textiles.

How much does this cost?
ICC’s Logistics Cost Review has no upfront cost. We benchmark your global rates, identify opportunities for savings, and deliver findings before any engagement begins. If you choose to engage ICC further, our structure is aligned with your results.

How much can we save on international shipping?
Clients save up to 30% on shipping in a typical renegotiation. Within two weeks, you’ll know exactly where you stand. Worst case, you learn your global rates are already competitive. Best case, you gain the leverage to secure best-in-class international terms.

Why are international shipping rates so hard to compare?
Because every provider structures air, ocean, and ground pricing differently, and forwarders and brokers add their own margins on top. Two quotes for the same lane rarely line up — which is exactly why independent benchmarking data gives you the advantage.

Do we have to leave our current freight forwarder?
No. ICC works independently to benchmark your rates and negotiate stronger terms with the providers you already use. Where it genuinely pays to switch, we connect you with reliable international providers — but the choice is always yours.

Is ICC independent from freight forwarders and brokers?
Yes. ICC has no stake in which provider you use, so our recommendations serve your interests — not a forwarder’s margins. That independence is what makes our global benchmarking worth trusting.

How much work is this for our team?
Minimal. ICC needs about 4–6 weeks of international invoices and your current air, ocean, and ground agreements. Most clients spend only a few hours getting ICC what it needs to start.

We’ve been pleased with the performance of your team at ICC during this negotiation. To be totally frank, you exceeded the expectations I had in a major way — and we look forward to continuing to optimize our parcel and freight spend together.
