About

EXPERIENCE

Kimberly Daniels has more than 15 years of professional experience in international logistics. She began her career as a logistics manager for a construction supplier, importing hundreds of containers per month for projects on and around the Las Vegas Strip. She later went on to assist small business owners with the importation and exportation of their goods as the freight director for an e-commerce fulfillment warehouse. She is currently the CEO of Mercantile Logistics & International Trade, Inc., a small business that focuses on the international trade needs of other small businesses. As a licensed and experienced customs broker, Kim is astute to the regulations imposed by the US Government for goods crossing the border. As a small business owner, she is keenly aware of the needs of small businesses to operate efficiently and effectively, creating her own programs to smooth costs for clients in providing required customs services. Kim believes that only by working together, rather than separately, can the client achieve their global expansion goals. Kim holds a Certificate in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) from APICS.

Kim helps companies understand their obligations when it comes to import and export regulatory compliance. From an audit of the products to advising on the regulations, Kim has helped companies move their goods into hard to access areas legitimately. She is keenly aware of the ramifications for mistakes and missteps and works tirelessly to ensure her clients share the same insights at the end of the project.
