North America Duty Free – Who we are:

Since 1982, North America Duty Free has met the export trading needs for a global marketplace from its warehouse in the Foreign Trade Zone in Port Everglades, Florida. NADF can also offer additional warehouse and distribution facilities in California, New Jersey, Texas, Washington and Rotterdam, The Netherlands. NADF remains a privately owned and operated duty-free ships chandler and international distribution company most honored to represent a very wide range of nationally and internationally branded manufacturers for sale and distribution into niche global markets.

Think globally, act locally. For some, this is an ambition. For North America Duty Free, it’s a daily reality. With NADF’s footprint in over 35 countries, NADF is as accustomed to addressing international supply chain logistics as NADF is with customs regulations. Whether it’s providing durable goods, bonded items, establishing a new logistics route, etc., NADF takes care of our customer’s individual requests. Each of NADF’s solution platforms are designed in tailor made fashion for each customer on an individualized basis.

Shop, Sail and Fly

NADF continues to foster strong long-term relationships with the world’s largest cruise operators, providing food service and retail solutions that ensure their passengers and crew specific requirements are always met. For duty-free and travel retail customers, NADF supplies a dynamic wide-range of products, to include beverages, snacks, confection, household and personal care products. NADF continues to provide our wide base with assistance on how to successfully cultivate and operate in-flight, travel, border, resort and cruise duty-free retail sales programs.

Solid Partnerships Built on Trust

Solid partnerships are built on trust and reliability. When one hundred individuals working on a remote off-shore marine rig needing three square meals each day along with everything people use in their daily routine, this is when trust and reliability counts. North America Duty Free continues to develop strong, long-term partnerships with our customers, guaranteeing to provide what they need, when and where they need it. Partnerships are rewarding relationships requiring trust, transparency and understanding to be effective. NADF continues to cultivate and build successful long-term partnerships with both customers and suppliers based on these values. Two clear goals set NADF apart, to contribute to the growth of their business and to take over those tasks which are not part of their core operations.
