About Us

CGT Freight Forwarding is a genuine Filipino owned freight forwarding company founded in 2015 with substantial experience in the field of cargo services since 1995.

CGT Freight Forwarding is a young dynamic and an ever growing company which specializes in importing personal effects and household goods/cargo from Europe to any point in the Philippines. It is a company that exhibits safe and on time deliveries with zero pilferages. This is achieved since we always give utmost attention to details in handling and documenting each cargo from the point of pick-up, to container loading to releasing from Philippine ports, to container unloading in our warehouse, to stripping/strapping, to truck loading and delivery up to the point of arrival to its destination which are supported by photographs and videos taken of each box. These are later posted on our social media account and website.

CGT Freight Forwarding has well trained, motivated and honest personnel. It has its own warehouse where the boxes are stored safely against thieves and accidents such as fire and force majeure (floods and typhoons). It also has round the clock CCTV monitoring, firewalls, fire alarms, water sprinklers and electronic roll up doors. CGT Freight Forwarding has its own delivery trucks equipped with GPS and dash-cams for the transport of cargo in the safest possible way.

CGT Freight Forwarding will continue to strive to be better as it progresses.

Guarantee

  • We have permanent employees in the Philippines that facilitates the safe releasing from customs and efficient delivery of your cargo. Any breakage and or spillage however due to poor packing is not covered by our warranty.
  • We handle your cargo with utmost care to avoid breakage.
  • For your information and peace of mind and for our security, we tediously document each of your cargo from the point of pick-up from the place of origin, container loading in the country of origin, container unloading in CGT Freight Forwarding warehouse in the Philippines, cargo loading in delivery trucks and finally up to the point of receipt of your consignee in the place of destination by taking pictures and videos of each box. Should there be damage due to poor packaging, we document the extent of damage before the cargo is about to be unloaded from the container then we take necessary measures to re-tape the box using a transparent packaging tape and in case of spillage, we plastic wrap the whole box. Then one of our authorized managers signs the damaged area. All of this is documented to avoid doubt of theft and thus will be a proof of comparison of the box’s state before and after re-taping.
  • Aside from the tedious documentation process, we also strap the boxes to strengthen it. In some cases such as island deliveries or deliveries through our local agents (for extremely far flung barangays or areas where our delivery trucks could not penetrate), we plastic wrap and reinforce the whole box before strapping to prevent it from getting wet and or being opened by anybody aside from the consignee.
  • We inform you of the delivery schedule by posting it through our social media account (Facebook) and through our website.
  • To ensure that the consignee is home to accept the cargo, we call him/her a day before the delivery. Thus it is very important that the consignee's contact number should be correct and specified in each box as part of its overall detail.
  • Should there be an instance where the consignee is unavailable during the time of delivery, he/she could leave an authorization letter and a valid ID, Authorizing someone he/she trusts to accept the delivery in his/her behalf.

Should he/she find irregularities, he/she may refuse acceptance and signage and the box will be returned to our office in Manila for verification.
