# Meridian Freight

> Full-service machinery import logistics company. We handle the complete export + shipping + customs clearance of heavy equipment from the USA and Canada to Latin America, Africa, and Central Asia — inland freight, container packing, ocean freight, import customs (aduana), and door-to-door delivery. One company, every step handled. You keep your supplier; we ship and clear it.

## What We Do

Meridian Freight is the logistics and customs-clearance partner for buyers in Latin America, Africa, and Central Asia who are importing used agricultural and construction machinery from the United States or Canada. We are not an equipment dealer — we are the freight, packing, and customs company that makes the import possible.

Our single-company model replaces the need for a separate trucker, packer, customs broker, and freight line. One team. One invoice. One point of contact from the seller's yard to the buyer's door.

Service lines:
1. **Heavy machinery export logistics** — combines, tractors, excavators, planters, sprayers, headers, dozers, loaders
2. **John Deere parts export**
3. **Air freight for urgent shipments**
