Trade Compliance Records announces the launch of its verified logistics directory, connecting 2,849 customs brokers and freight forwarders across 20 countries to the TCR cryptographic compliance infrastructure.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CLEARWATER, FLORIDA — May 12, 2026 — Trade Compliance Records (TCR) today announced the launch of its verified Global Logistics Directory, a structured database of customs brokers, freight forwarders, and trade compliance specialists integrated directly into the TCR cryptographic compliance infrastructure. The directory currently lists 2,849 verified logistics professionals across 20 countries, with each profile linked to the TCR hash verification system to enable real-time credential validation.
