Welcome to Priority Shippers’ Association (PSA)

OUR MEMBERS BENEFIT FROM THE COST EFFECTIVE RATES WE PROVIDE





As a PSA member, you gain access to cost-effective ocean freight rates and a superior level of service. We achieve this by pooling our members’ shipping volumes to leverage strong, long-standing negotiating relationships with major ocean carriers.

Unlike many shipping associations, PSA has no upfront entry fees—membership is completely FREE.

PSA is not an NVOCC. Our members are listed directly as contract affiliates and remain the shipper of record on the bill of lading, ensuring full control and compliance.

As an Illinois-based non-profit organization, PSA charges no dues and no annual membership fees.
Operating costs are covered solely through a small per-container fee, applied only when PSA’s negotiated rates are used.
Simply complete the Member Certificate and Agreement of Compliance and submit it for approval.
