Ocean Container to
Market, Faster.
Atlantic Pacific Lines transloads ocean containers into domestic trailers & flatbed with every unit scan-counted, labeled to FBA or retailer specification, and ASN generated from actual counts before any outbound load departs.

Every Transload
Units Scan Counted
Scanned. Labeled. Counted. Then Shipped.
Atlantic Pacific Lines verifies every unit against the shipment plan before any outbound load is confirmed, generating EDI ASNs from actual scan data rather than from inbound ocean packing lists.
- Every unit physically counted and scanned against the outbound shipment plan before loading
- EDI 856 ASN generated from physical scan counts, not from the ocean packing list
- Photographic documentation from container opening through completed outbound pallet
- Discrepancies documented immediately with carrier notation to preserve cargo claim evidence
- Count verification completed before outbound load confirmation
What Accurate Counting Prevents at Every Retailer.
Every metric below represents a real failure that APL's scan-verified transload process catches before cargo reaches the fulfillment center or retail distribution dock.

Atlantic Pacific Lines builds ASNs from physical scan data so the retailer receives an ASN that reflects what actually left the transload facility
Six Transload Capabilities That Protect Your Retail Compliance
Accuracy at the transload dock prevents chargebacks, removal orders, and rework that cost far more than the transload itself.
Count Accuracy
Every Unit Scanned, Not Spot-Checked. Atlantic Pacific Lines scans every individual unit against the outbound shipment plan during transloading. This is not a spot-check or carton-level count. Discrepancies are documented immediately with carrier notation so the cargo claim evidence chain is preserved. Ocean packing lists frequently contain errors that only a full unit scan at transload will detect. Unit-level verification, not carton-only.
Label Compliance
GS1-128, FNSKU, and SSCC-18 Applied and Verified. APL applies and scans GS1-128 case labels, FNSKU labels, and SSCC-18 pallet labels for Amazon and major retail trading partner compliance. Labels are verified against the outbound ASN before any pallet is wrapped for shipment. A barcode that does not scan at the retailer dock triggers an ASN discrepancy that APL catches before the pallet leaves the facility. Verified before pallet wrap.
ASN Accuracy
EDI 856 Built From Scan Data, Not Packing List. Atlantic Pacific Lines generates EDI 856 ASNs from the actual unit counts recorded at transload, not from the inbound ocean packing list. Ocean packing lists are prepared at origin before cargo is sealed into containers. By the time it reaches the transload dock, quantities may differ. Building the ASN from the packing list propagates those errors to your retail trading partner. Scan-to-ASN accuracy.
Velocity
Same-Day Cross-Dock for Fast-Moving Programs. For high-velocity import programs where storage cost elimination is the priority, APL provides cross-dock service transferring cargo from inbound ocean containers directly to outbound domestic trailers within 24 hours. Cross-dock maintains the full benefit of domestic trailer distribution without warehouse storage fees accumulating on fast-turning inventory. Ocean container to outbound in 24 hours.
Duty Management
Bonded Warehousing for High-Duty Imports. Atlantic Pacific Lines works with CBP-bonded warehouse operators to defer duty payment on imports with high duty rates or uncertain sell-through timing. Bonded storage allows goods to remain in-bond until entered for domestic consumption, re-exported, or transferred to another bonded facility, preserving cash flow until the importer decides on disposition. Duty deferral on qualifying imports.
