ERIE, PA (December 23, 2025) – Logistics Plus, Inc. (LP), a global leader in transportation, logistics, and unique supply chain solutions, is proud to announce that Logistics Plus Brazil has been officially accredited as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) under Brazil’s Authorized Economic Operator (Operador Econômico Autorizado – OEA) Program.
The accreditation, issued by Brazil’s Special Secretariat of the Federal Revenue, recognizes Logistics Plus Brazil (LP Brazil) for meeting stringent international standards related to supply chain security, regulatory compliance, risk management, and operational reliability. The certification was granted on December 19, 2025, and is valid for an indefinite period.
The Brazilian AEO Program is part of a global framework promoted by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to strengthen supply chain security while facilitating legitimate trade. Companies granted AEO status benefit from simplified customs procedures, reduced inspections, and faster clearance times — advantages that directly translate into greater efficiency and predictability for customers.
“This accreditation reinforces our long-term commitment to compliance, security, and operational excellence in Brazil,” said Frederico Resende, Managing Partner of LP Brazil. “As global supply chains continue to evolve, programs like AEO help ensure our customers benefit from smoother trade flows, reduced risk, and a higher level of trust when moving goods into and out of key international markets.”
LP Brazil operates as a full-service freight forwarder, supporting customers with international air and ocean freight, customs coordination, project cargo, and complex supply chain solutions throughout Brazil and the broader Latin American region. Achieving AEO status further strengthens the company’s ability to support multinational customers with compliant, resilient, and secure logistics operations.
The accreditation also aligns with broader global compliance initiatives at Logistics Plus, complementing similar trusted trader and security programs across other regions worldwide.

When the world changes… what matters most is how you deliver. In 2025, Logistics Plus delivered more than freight. We delivered moments… milestones… and missions that mattered. This year was about partnerships. Customers. Carriers. Teams. Communities. This is what we delivered together. Across the globe, our teams moved the extraordinary. From heavy industrial cargo… To complex project lifts… To time-critical deliveries that help rebuild communities. Each move planned, coordinated, and executed with one goal — to deliver it right.
Our growth in North America continues with the acquisition of Chicago-based Load Delivered Logistics, adding more phenomenal talent to our workplace and enhancing our transportation management solutions. 2025 also marked continued global growth… Welcoming new offices, new teams, and deeper local expertise in places like Chile, South Korea, Pakistan, and Spain, with expanded operations and capabilities in many other countries worldwide.
Now, as Logistics Plus enters its 30th year in business, we have over 1,400 employees serving thousands of customers in over fifty-five countries around the world. But one special delivery embodied everything we believe in. From West Point to Erie… A trophy representing grit, teamwork, dedication, and excellence… Trusted to our care. And delivered home — where a community gathered to celebrate what teamwork truly means. Because logistics is never just about cargo. It’s about people. The relationships we build. The communities we support. And the pride our teams bring to every single move.
As we close out 2025, we’re proud of what we’ve delivered… And even more excited for what’s ahead. Because when the world changes… Logistics Plus delivers.
Thank you for your support in 2025, and all the best in 2026!

Holiday Shipping & E-Commerce: What Shippers Need to Know
The holiday season is here, and with it comes one of the busiest shipping periods of the year. From Thanksgiving through Christmas, U.S. parcel carriers are projected to deliver over 2.3 billion packages, about a 5% increase compared to last year. That’s a lot of boxes moving through already-stretched-thin networks.
What’s driving the growth?
- An extra shopping day compared to 2024 is giving retailers a slight boost.
- E-commerce continues to dominate, with online holiday sales expected to rise 7%–9%.
- “Buy online, ship to home” remains the preferred gift-buying method, especially for last-minute shoppers.
For shippers, this means holiday surcharges, delivery cutoffs, and congestion are real concerns. If you’re shipping gifts or customer orders, plan early and communicate deadlines clearly.
Christmas Trees: Real vs. Artificial
The holiday centerpiece is changing. While U.S. households historically purchased 25–30 million real trees annually, a recent survey shows 83% of households will choose artificial trees this year. Why? Convenience, reusability, and cost-effectiveness are winning over tradition.
For those sticking with real trees, good news: 84% of growers do not plan to raise wholesale prices, keeping natural trees affordable despite inflationary pressures.
Holiday Spending Trends
Retail spending is expected to grow modestly, 2.3% to 3.3% compared to last year. E-commerce is the bright spot, with online sales projected to jump 7%–9%. This shift means retailers and small businesses must focus on:
- Clear shipping deadlines
- Transparent return policies
- Proactive customer communication
What This Means for Logistics
The surge in holiday shipping puts pressure on capacity, timing, and reliability. For businesses, this is the season to:
- Ship early to avoid delays and surcharges.
- Leverage logistics partners who can navigate carrier constraints.
- Optimize fulfillment strategies for speed and cost efficiency.
At Logistics Plus, we help businesses stay ahead of seasonal challenges with flexible solutions, global reach, and personalized service. Whether it’s parcel, freight, or last-mile delivery, we make sure your holiday logistics run smoothly so that you can focus on delighting customers.

Cross-border shipping between the United States, Mexico, and Canada continues to grow at record volumes — and so do the complexities. Tariffs, customs documentation, Importer of Record requirements, in-bond transit rules, labeling laws (such as Mexico’s NOM standards), fluctuating capacity, and border inspections all create risk for shippers without the right logistics partner.
Logistics Plus simplifies cross-border transportation by bringing together transportation management, customs brokerage coordination, real-time shipment visibility, and bilingual, in-market operations into one integrated service platform — delivering reliable, compliant freight movement across North America.
Whether shipping LTL, full truckload, rail, or intermodal, LP helps manufacturers, distributors, and retailers ship confidently across borders while lowering cost and stress.
North America’s Most Strategic Cross-Border Gateway: Laredo, Texas
LP’s core U.S.-Mexico operations center around the Laredo, Texas / Nuevo Laredo, Mexico border crossing, the largest trade corridor between the U.S. and Mexico and the busiest inland port in North America.
Why Laredo matters:
- Handles nearly 50% of all U.S.–Mexico trade
- 18,000+ commercial truck crossings daily
- Dedicated commercial bridge lanes
- 14 lanes of continuous freight movement
- Operating 7 days per week
Industries heavily supported through this gateway include:
- Automotive & parts
- Electronics & components
- Metals (steel, aluminum, copper)

Logistics Plus leverages advanced digital freight platforms to enhance both capacity coverage and transit optimization.
Through Cargado carrier access, LP connects customers to:
- 1,500+ vetted carriers
- 200,000 available trucks
