CNS

What CNS does

CNS INTERTRANS (SHENZHEN) CO., Ltd. is a privately held, Shenzhen-headquartered international freight forwarder that has operated since 2005 as an A-class global freight forwarder licensed by China's Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Communications, and General Administration of Customs, and one of the first batch holders of NVOCC qualification (MOC-NV02456). The company's service portfolio covers sea freight, air freight, land (road) freight, cross-border e-commerce logistics, special container service (oversized, overweight, dangerous goods), destination handling, customs brokerage, and warehousing, with a stated specialization in Latin America and Caribbean trade lanes. Its underlying operational platform integrates multimodal transport (sea, air, road) under a single framework, supported by a fleet of 237 vehicles, over 50,000 square meters of storage, an agent network spanning 100+ countries and 300 ports, and 88 shipping routes.

The company makes money through professional services fees on freight forwarding engagements — transportation fees, handling charges, customs brokerage, and warehousing — priced via custom quotes rather than published rates. It targets import/export businesses, heavy industry/manufacturing shippers of large machinery and oversized cargo, commodity shippers, and (secondarily) cross-border e-commerce businesses, with 200+ cooperating companies cited. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with multilingual websites (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese), content marketing, and conference participation (e.g., JCtrans Bangkok 2024), while execution is delivered through its own vehicle fleet and a global agent network plus partnerships with major ocean carriers (EMC, CMA, COSCO, MSC, MSK, ONE, HMM, YML, ZIM).

In February 2026 the company launched a Door-to-Door Global Logistics Service that consolidates sea, air, and road transport under one operational framework to reduce cross-border handover delays — a bundling move that repositions CNS from a single-mode forwarder into an integrated multimodal provider. China-based regional offices (Shenzhen HQ plus Guangzhou, Wuhan, Qingdao) handle origination, while destination coverage is achieved through agents.
