How the Transhipping Process Works
A simple 3-party process connecting Thai fish sellers with USA buyers through Siam Tranship's coordination service.
Buy from a Thai Seller
Find your fish through a Thai breeder or seller on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, or LINE. Agree on a price and pay the seller directly. Siam Tranship is not involved in the fish purchase transaction.
Book Transhipping Online
Visit SiamTranship.com and complete the booking form. Submit your USA delivery address, Thai seller details, fish type, quantity, and preferred shipment date. Pay the transhipping fee securely online.
Seller Ships the Fish
After you book, we coordinate with your Thai seller. The seller prepares and ships the fish according to the schedule. Fish are packed with oxygen bags in appropriate containers for air transport.
Transit from Thailand to USA
Fish travel via air cargo from Thailand to the United States. Transit times vary depending on the route and destination city. We monitor the shipment and keep you updated.
Receive Your Fish in the USA
Once fish arrive in the USA, they are delivered to your address or arranged for airport pickup depending on your selected delivery method. You must be available to receive the shipment promptly.
