We’re New York based Licensed Customs Brokers, Freight Forwarders and Logistics Experts who work with Importers, Exporters and Government Organizations in the U.S. and globally. We navigate global commerce and seamlessly guide our clients’ precious cargo – to where it needs to be, when it needs to get there, in good condition – efficiently and cost-effectively – RIGHT FROM THE START.
Founder Sadiah Mohammed came to the U.S. as an immigrant from Trinidad who wanted to make a better life for herself. Originally destined to be an Accountant she changed course when learning about the world of logistics – specifically becoming a Licensed Customs Broker – and the opportunities it provided while also giving her the chance to work with people and help them realize their dreams.
Founded in 1996 with 2 clients who imported fresh fish – Sadiah was motivated to succeed and determined to build OceanAir Logistics into the powerhouse it is today – serving loyal clients across the globe in a multitude of mission critical sectors with one thing in common – her expertise to deliver their precious cargo.
She researched and learned how to clear and import food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, HIV blood, human organs, clothing, handicrafts, watches and a broad variety of goods. She never said no to a client. Service has always been the hallmark of her success – and many of her ‘founding’ clients are still with her today. In fact, she has become their friends – invited to their homes around the world – to eat with them, learn about their families, their culture, customs and food.
GRATITUDE. Sadiah believes in paying it forward and has a soft spot in her heart for entrepreneurs in overlooked and underserved communities worldwide.
VISION. Build a thriving international logistics company that empowers the underserved next generation community of global importers, exporters and entrepreneurs while also serving Fortune 500 and Blue Chip organizations.
MISSION. Seamlessly and effectively guide our clients and their precious cargo through the global supply chain to help them reach their goals and objectives.
VALUES. As a pending certified NYS Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise we believe in helping others to fulfill their dreams – paying it forward and provide a path for people to be self-sufficient and sustainable.
