Shipping from St. Louis: what the location gives you

Ship from St. Louis and every North American Class I railroad is within reach: all six serve the region, according to the St. Louis Regional Freightway. Your trucks have four interstates, a high-priority corridor and an interstate loop, and three of those interstates run to a US coastline.

If you import, two foreign-trade zones cover the region: Zone 102 takes in the City and County of St. Louis, and Zone 31 at America’s Central Port serves southwest Illinois. Air freight can use either of two international cargo airports, with St. Louis Lambert International handling 160 million pounds of cargo in 2023.

Heavy inputs can come by water. The port system here is the northernmost lock- and ice-free port on the Mississippi, moving 105 million tons a year, and barges handle about 369,000 tons per river mile, close to four times the average of the country’s other eight inland port districts.

For peak-season staff, the metro has about 258,600 trade, transportation and utilities workers across its Missouri and Illinois counties (August 2026, preliminary), against about 230,500 in metro Kansas City. Kansas City answers with ground reach: KC SmartPort says 90% of the contiguous US is two days or less away.

  4. Which of my stores and marketplaces connect to your system, and what does each connection cost?
  5. How long does it take from signed contract to the first order shipped?
  6. If I sell food, supplements or anything classed as hazardous, which certifications cover the building my stock would be in?
