Exports from Jordan by sea, air and land. Imports from anywhere in the world. Customs, trucking and documents under one roof, with agents on every continent and a specialist desk for the United States.
GFS started in 1996 as a small office in Amman, booking containers for a handful of Jordanian exporters.
We grew the way serious forwarders do: by taking the shipments others found too complicated and getting them right. One lane became many. Agents abroad became partners. Today the same team that started with local exporters moves cargo by sea, air and land to every continent, and brings it back into Jordan.
One forwarder for both directions. We book it, clear it, document it and truck it, so you deal with one team from pickup to delivery.
Factory pickup, export customs, booking and documents, by the mode that fits your cargo and deadline.
Full containers, reefer and special containers, from Aqaba to any port.
Air freight as an IATA-accredited agent, for urgent and high-value cargo.

Yes. We ship by sea, air and land. Air suits urgent and high-value cargo, and our trucking network covers inland transport and routes across the region.
Yes, from any origin. When the cargo arrives we collect the delivery order from the shipping line, clear it through customs and truck it to your warehouse.
Usually a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. Some cargo needs more, such as health certificates for food. Use the document checklist above, or ask us about your shipment.
A telex release lets the importer collect the cargo without the paper B/L, once the shipper confirms. An original B/L is couriered, and the importer must present it at destination to collect the cargo. We help you choose based on payment terms and timing.
Yes. We book reefer containers for temperature-sensitive cargo and ship dangerous goods, such as vehicles with batteries, with the declarations they require.

From Jordan and the Levant to any U.S. port. A team that ships to American distributors every week handles the ISF, the documents and the release, to keep delays and holds to a minimum.
The distributor in the U.S. and the manufacturer in the region need different things from the same container. We handle both.
You buy from the region. We make sure it reaches you without holds.
You make it. We get it to American buyers with the right papers.
Alongside exports from Jordan through Aqaba, manufacturers across the Levant can now ship to the U.S. through GFS. Their cargo sails directly from their own ports, and we manage the booking, documents and U.S. filings from Amman with our agents on the ground.
So our U.S. desk is built around the checks U.S. Customs cares about.

The importer is responsible for it. We prepare and file it on their behalf and match it to the bill of lading.
Goods that meet the rules of origin under the U.S.–Jordan Free Trade Agreement can enter duty-free. The importer claims the exemption at U.S. customs, and we prepare consistent origin documents to support that claim.

We work with international NGOs and relief organisations to bring humanitarian aid into Jordan. Every aid shipment gets the same care as our commercial cargo, and the urgency it deserves.
Many families in Jordan rely on humanitarian aid. When relief cargo clears quickly, it reaches them sooner.
That is why we treat aid shipments as a priority. We put the same experience we use for commercial cargo behind the organisations that send food, medical supplies and essentials into Jordan, so their donations arrive where they are needed.
We act as customs broker for aid shipments into Jordan and coordinate each step with the organisation and its partners abroad.
Donated goods cleared at Aqaba as the organisation's customs broker.
We prepare the documents and follow up the approvals that humanitarian cargo needs.
We work with the shipper and forwarder at origin, so the cargo arrives with the right papers.
