The global cross-border logistics industry is an essential part of international trade and commerce, facilitating the movement of goods across borders. With the rise of e-Commerce and globalization, the demand for cross-border logistics services has increased significantly in recent years. However, the industry faces challenges such as complex regulations, customs procedures, and supply chain disruptions, which require innovative solutions to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of goods.
Paramount Logistics, a reputable logistics company headquartered in the Philippines, has established itself as a reliable name in the ever-evolving cross-border logistics market in South East Asia. Leveraging its extensive global network, the company has exhibited remarkable resilience and adaptability in meeting the changing demands of the industry, thereby driving growth in the market.

Delivering Sustainable Supply Chain Management
Paramount Logistics recognizes the challenges faced by its clients, such as volatile shipping costs and navigating the Bureau of Customs in the Philippines, which can impede the timely release of goods.
“In response, the company has tailored its services to offer high-quality logistics solutions at a lower cost, using its vast network especially in the field of customs clearance. Paramount Logistics' comprehensive suite of services includes ship agency, freight forwarding, customs releasing, warehousing, courier service, and other allied services, setting it apart from its competitors by providing end-to-end logistics solutions for both domestic and international requirements”, says Atty.

Paramount Logistics' client engagement process centers around understanding each client's specific needs and developing customized logistics solutions to meet those requirements.

Upon the arrival of goods in the Philippines, Paramount Logistics expedites customs release procedures with swiftness and efficiency, resulting in faster processing times and lower rates compared to its competitors.
For the third mile, the company offers warehousing services, including fulfillment and consolidation, and deconsolidation of cargo. Additionally, the company leverages the customs and legal expertise of its founder and CEO to provide legal services to its clients. Paramount Logistics has developed innovative solutions to support clients who are not registered importers at the Bureau of Customs, using its registered trading companies to facilitate importation in the Philippines, even for clients who do not meet the registration requirement.
Paramount Logistics’ mission is to consistently exceed customer expectations by delivering sustainable supply chain management, superior freight forwarding, and global transportation solutions, including air, ocean, customs brokerage, and other logistics services
In Pursuit of Becoming a Global Logistics Leader
Paramount Logistics traces its origins back to 2012 when it began operations as a customs brokerage enterprise. The company initially handled only a few shipments, but over time, it grew significantly, releasing a minimum of 100-200 containers every week at the Manila Ports alone. Its founder, Atty. Jemina M. Sy, a veteran customs officer at the Bureau of Customs with over a decade of experience, coupled by her resources and networks, expanded the customs brokerage operations to various ports across the Philippines, both air and sea and eventually led to the incorporation of Paramount Logistics in 2019.
The company's growth can be attributed to the expertise of its team, which places a strong emphasis on customs release and guarantees the seamless release of all shipments. Paramount Logistics’ vision is to become the foremost logistics firm in the Philippines and establish branches in critical cities globally. To achieve this goal, Paramount Logistics is currently in the process of automating all its office processes, including a robust monitoring system to track clients' shipments.
