Strategic locations to support your supply chain

Owned offices in the United States and South America, plus an exclusive network of vetted regional agents with the customs permits and local knowledge to represent you in their markets.

The strategic UWL network

The global network of logistics professionals

UWL has logistics offices strategically located in the United States and South America, and we collaborate and partner exclusively with the top regional and independent agents.

Today we have over 30 partners across all continents. Our agent network consists of financially healthy companies with sufficient working capital to support your cargo flows without a problem.

Our vetting process makes certain those partners are the best in their respective regions. UWL agents hold the right customs permits, knowledge and experience to act as fiscal representative for a foreign company, and all are fully certified and licensed to conduct business where they operate.
