When Disaster Strikes: Coppersmith’s Role

Natural disasters are a stark reminder of nature’s unpredictability. From typhoons and tornadoes to earthquakes and floods, these cataclysms can play havoc with the best-laid logistics plans, leading to delays, damages, or even catastrophic loss. For businesses, the ripple effect of these events can be disastrous unless they are prepared. This is where Coppersmith steps in, making a distinct mark in the logistics industry by ensuring businesses are prepared and resilient in the face of such calamities.

A new destination at LAX just for dogs. 

We at Coppersmith Global Logistics had the honor of assisting the co-founders, Jill and Patti, in bringing this noble idea to life. Coppersmith diligently coordinated with airlines, scrutinizing and confirming compliance with the regulations and ensuring the animals’ information was meticulously documented.

We also worked with them to get their kennel set up as a bonded Container Freight Station (CFS). (This means that they have the authority from CBP to receive shipments that are under a customs bond.) This dedicated effort made the transition of the rescued animals from overseas to LAX not only smoother for the organizers but, just as importantly, comfortable for the dogs.
