Values at Elenteny Imports
We recently spent some time discussing our core values at Elenteny Imports and want to share our top five.

Knowledge – We aim to be freight import experts, always learning more and refining what we do.

Integrity – We appreciate your business and operate with honesty and respect towards you and your team.

Transparency – In good times and in challenging times, we will tell you what is going on in the world of global logistics and how it affects your shipments.

Dedication – We are committed to helping your business grow and care about getting your wine, beer, cider or spirits into the US and where you need it as efficiently as possible.

Dynamism – In an ever-changing landscape, we’ll continue to evolve and find solutions.

Europe to North America Updates:

• Demand is dropping for imports to the U.S. while capacity to the East Coast continues to suffer from congestion.

• Equipment availability is an issue for ports in Western Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean.

• Continue to plan for potential delays affecting pick up dates, and release from domestic warehouses.

Low Volume Lane Containers 
We have space on containers from Argentina and Germany.  If you are interested in getting your wine on the next available departure please submit your POs to po@elentenyimports.com or reach out to your account rep for more information.
