WHEN it has to happen
Businesses Trust Omega for South American Imports
South America is an important trade partner for New Zealand, exporting agricultural products, seafood, raw materials, textiles, and industrial goods.
But importing from the region brings challenges—longer transit times, inconsistent export requirements, and complex customs processes.
Omega Global Logistics manages the entire process from supplier coordination to final delivery.
Whether you're importing fresh produce, raw materials, or machinery, we ensure your shipment arrives on time and without surprise costs.
What is it and from where?
Choosing the Right Freight Method from South America
With major export hubs across Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru, selecting the right route and shipping method is crucial. Omega helps you make the right call:
Sea Freight (6–10 weeks)
Best for large-volume shipments:
- Full Container Load (FCL) for dedicated containers.
- Less than Container Load (LCL) for smaller, consolidated shipments.
Key Ports: Santos (Brazil), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Callao (Peru), Valparaíso (Chile).
Air Freight (7–14 days)
Suited for perishable, urgent, or high-value items like seafood, pharmaceuticals, or electronics.
Airports: São Paulo (GRU), Buenos Aires (EZE), Santiago (SCL), Lima (LIM).
Courier Services (3–5 days)
Ideal for samples, prototypes, or critical documents.
