How Brink's Secure Logistics works

Get the same verified process for every shipment, on every route.

  1. Plan and protect. Your account team profiles your entire cargo, value, and route, then sets the security level, insurance coverage, and handling plan. The full plan is documented before anything moves.

  2. Move and monitor. Our armored fleet and security personnel collect the cargo and transport it under verified custody, tracking location and conditions in real time and supervising every airport and tarmac transfer.

  3. Clear and deliver. Brink's manages customs clearance and arranges bonded storage when a shipment needs to wait. Once it clears, Brink's completes delivery to the final destination. Custody is verified and logged at every handoff along the way.

When the cargo is irreplaceable, the carrier matters

A standard freight carrier treats your shipment like any other pallet. For gold, diamonds, semiconductors, or temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, this can be considered a risk that your insurer, your auditors, and your customers ask about.

Brink's Secure Logistics is the core transportation service of Brink's Global Services. It moves high-value goods across borders with verified custody at every handoff. Each shipment carries the protection that high-value cargo needs, along with the documentation your compliance team requires.

The cost of moving high-value goods without a verified carrier

One gap in custody is one unprotected shipment

High-value cargo changes hands more times than many realize; at pickup, at the airport, through customs, and at delivery. Every handoff that a standard carrier is unable to document is a point where liability falls back on you.

Generic insurance rarely covers the full value of what you ship

Standard cargo coverage is built for commodities, not bullion or fine art. When the declared value of your shipment runs into the millions, a coverage gap can leave you exposed at the worst possible moment.

Delays at customs can put sensitive cargo at even more risk

For electronics and pharmaceuticals, time on a tarmac or in an unsecured holding area means even more chances for theft or damage. A carrier without customs expertise or bonded facilities could leave your shipment stranded and exposed at the border.

What changes when Brink's moves your cargo

Your cargo stays in verified hands from origin to destination

Most carriers insure by weight and pay out a fixed rate per pound, no matter what the cargo is worth. Brink's insures each shipment for its full declared value. In the case of a severe loss, this means you'd be reimbursed for what the goods are actually worth.

You're covered for what your cargo is actually worth

Brink’s includes sensors on each shipment that report its exact location and surrounding conditions, which is critical for goods such as cold-chain pharmaceuticals that spoil outside. You and your Brink's team always have access to the same live feed, so you're never waiting on status calls.

You always know the location and condition of your shipment

Your airport cargo receives guarded handling and tarmac supervision

Air transfer is where high-value cargo is the most vulnerable. Brink's supervises high-value cargo through every single transition, including on the tarmac itself, so you can rest assured there’s been no tampering.

Your goods clear customs without sitting unprotected

Brink's clears your cargo through customs and holds it in secure facilities called bonded warehouses. Here, your goods wait securely until they're released. Your shipment stays protected and duty-deferred while it clears, rather than sitting in a general holding area.

Security levels matched to your cargo

Two shipments can leave the same dock and face completely different risks. A pallet of standard goods shouldn't carry the same protection as a case of bullion, or the same price for it.

To address this, Brink's builds Secure Logistics around the precise value, sensitivity, and route of each shipment you move.

What the right tier looks like comes down to the declared value, cargo type, origin, destination, and regulations along the way. Your account team reviews your shipment profile and recommends the security, insurance, and handling it calls for. This prevents a critical lane from going underprotected and a routine one from costing more than it should.
