The United States is one of Türkiye’s largest export markets. Marble and natural stone, machinery, automotive components, chemicals, furniture, carpets and construction materials generate steady container volume. Wislog Logistics books full container (FCL) sailings from Ambarlı, Gebze and İzmir to New York/New Jersey, Savannah, Charleston, Norfolk, Baltimore, Miami and Houston, and uses Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland for the West Coast.
Cargo that does not fill a container is consolidated in our warehouse and shipped as groupage (LCL). On every US shipment our team tracks the ISF (Importer Security Filing), the AMS declaration and coordination with the consignee’s customs broker. For urgent parts we offer air freight into Chicago, New York and Atlanta.
