Broker Cards That Survive the Shipping Manager's Desk Pile

This 4.25×11 16pt premium matte format fits dense compliance copy on the back without gloss glare under warehouse office lights. Mail to importer lists, stack at freight forwarder counters, or hand out after C-TPAT seminars.
After major tariff or classification news, mail importers in your specialty with headline referencing the change - "New Section 301 list · review your classifications." Offer a complimentary 30-minute compliance review, not a vague "we're great" pitch.

No, split cards per vertical on same 4.25×11 matte grid. Aerospace variant leads with ITAR-aware classification review and defense supply chain proof points.
