Flexport handles the lithium battery compliance, the high-value components, and the air freight that has to land on time, hitting 98.5% air on-time performance for Fortune 100 high-tech customers. [SHIP WITH US](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/get-started/) ## Leading consumer electronics brands trust Flexport for their supply chain needs ## Protect launch timelines with complete supply chain visibility A held battery shipment or a late chipset can push your whole launch past its window. Flexport flags the problem early enough for you to act on it. ## SKU-level tracking built for complex electronics catalogs Flexport's Platform and Control Tower pull your whole operation into one real-time view, including shipments we don't move. Track every component and finished unit from the factory to the distribution center, get alerted when something slips, and bring supplier scorecards to your next vendor negotiation. ![Flexport platform dashboard with shipment, product, container, and customs metrics over a world map of trade routes](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ynj1yl20/development/9a1da61e8c0609ab1d6775a190701cf4740e381b-1440x1018.png) [REQUEST A DEMO](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/get-started/) ## Tailored for your business and product needs **RFID-enabled fulfillment for item-level accuracy** — RFID-integrated inventory management gives item-level visibility from receiving through shipment, with automated cycle counts and near-perfect accuracy that feed straight into the Flexport platform. **International expansion without the complexity** — Reach customers in over 135 countries with DDP and DDU shipping, built-in compliance documentation, and native Shopify, Walmart, and Amazon integrations. **Specialized handling for lithium batteries and high-value goods** — Compliant transport across every mode for lithium batteries, fragile displays, and high-value components, with the documentation, carrier vetting, and handling procedures your products require. ## Smarter inventory placement across your network Flexport's optimization engine processes demand signals, channel velocity, and geographic sales patterns to recommend where your inventory should sit—not just how much you need. For electronics brands, this means positioning new-generation products near high-demand markets while drawing down previous-generation stock efficiently, reducing both stockouts and the markdowns that come with excess inventory. ![Map of the United States highlighting Flexport warehouse locations in Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and Phillipsburg with coverage radii](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ynj1yl20/development/4dccab31fc91ae1b3258d72f9c494f85d1c5893b-1146x676.png) ## Cut freight costs without cutting corners on product safety Electronics margins are thin and product cycles are fast—every dollar saved on logistics goes straight to the bottom line. But cost optimization can't come at the expense of product safety or delivery speed. Flexport's platform is engineered to deliver both. ## AI-driven freight optimization Flexport's Supply Chain Optimization engine continuously evaluates your shipping patterns, container utilization, routing options, and carrier performance to find savings you'd miss manually. For electronics brands with complex, multi-origin supply chains, these algorithms consolidate shipments across component and finished-goods flows, reducing per-unit costs while keeping transit times tight against your launch calendar. ## Carbon reduction that meets retailer requirements Major electronics retailers increasingly require supply chain emissions data from their vendors. Flexport's Carbon Management platform gives you the tools to measure your logistics footprint, identify reduction opportunities—like shifting eligible shipments from air to ocean or improving container fill rates—and produce the emissions reporting that satisfies retailer sustainability programs and ESG commitments. ## Measurable results for electronics brands **100%** — of customs entries reviewed by Flexport's AI, versus the roughly 10% most brokers audit. **0.2%** — filing error rate with Flexport's AI customs review, down from the 1.8% industry average. **2X** — average duty-drawback refund rate on qualifying re-exported products versus industry benchmarks. **135+** — countries reachable through Flexport's DDP and DDU shipping options. ## Stay ahead of electronics trade compliance Electronics imports face a unique web of regulatory requirements—FCC certifications, hazardous materials classifications for batteries, encryption export controls, and tariff schedules that shift with trade policy. Getting it wrong means delays, penalties, or products stuck at the border during your launch window. Flexport's trade compliance capabilities are built to keep electronics shipments cleared and moving. ## AI-powered compliance that audits every entry Most customs brokers audit roughly 10% of entries. Flexport's AI reviews 100%, catching classification errors and documentation gaps before they cause holds—reducing filing error rates from the industry average of 1.8% down to 0.2%. For electronics brands dealing with product-specific classifications, component-level tariffs, and evolving trade restrictions, that thoroughness directly protects your delivery timelines. Tariff Simulator models duty scenarios across your product portfolio so you can optimize landed cost before goods ship, and Duty Drawback recovers refunds on qualifying re-exported products at rates averaging 2X industry benchmarks.
