Our pre-IPO stockholders will be able to sell their shares of common stock upon completion of this offering subject to restrictions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the lock-up agreements.

Our pre -IPO stockholders may be able to sell their shares of common stock under Rule 144 after the completion of this offering and following the expiration of that lock -up period, if applicable.

Through Duke System Logistics, one of our subsidiaries, we offer a comprehensive package of end -to -end logistics services tailored for merchant customers importing goods from foreign markets, particularly from East Asia, for sale in the U.S. Our 3PL logistics services encompass the entire supply chain spectrum, including (i) ocean freight services, (ii) port and drayage services, and (iii) warehousing and last -mile delivery services. These offerings are strengthened by our cooperation with major ocean carriers such as COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co., Ltd. ("Cosco Shipping"), SM Line, HMM Company Limited ("HMM"), and HEDE (Hong Kong) International Shipping Co., Ltd. ("HEDE"), enabling efficient and reliable transportation from East Asia directly to the U.S. Although we do not have our own operations in any Chinese ports, these partnerships have enabled us to significantly reduce transit times by managing the first leg of transportation efficiently, with express services between major Chinese ports and U.S. ports of entry. Apart from ocean freight and port logistics, we also provide warehousing and last -mile delivery solutions, with our facilities equipped with equipment and technologies to handle anything from small parcels to large items such as furniture and appliances. Our end -to -end logistics capabilities cover storage, inventory management, and order fulfilment and delivery, supported by collaborations with major couriers such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS, ensuring fast and reliable delivery to end consumers. The integration of these services not only enables smoother transitions and faster delivery times but also assists our clients in optimizing their operations and expanding their market reach. For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated 3PL logistics revenue of $4,439,792, $6,040,862, $11,204,925, and $6,984,810, respectively, representing 11%, 10%, 19%, and 88% of our total revenue for each respective period and year.
In April 2024, we expanded into integrated shipping services through Duke Shipping, one of our subsidiaries, leveraging our prior experience coordinating ocean freight and port -related services under our 3PL logistics operations. Duke Shipping has served as a designated U.S. shipping facilitator for non -U .S. -based carriers, focusing on port and cargo operations for international shipping lines entering and operating in the U.S. market. We assist our carrier clients with regulatory compliance, berth and terminal arrangements, vessel scheduling, coordination of cargo unloading, pilotage, towage, tugboat assistance, and cleaning services, as well as demurrage and detention charge processing. As of the date of this prospectus, we provide our integrated shipping services exclusively to a single customer, and act as a principal in delivering such services. See " Risk Factors — Operational Risks — Our largest customers generate a significant portion of our revenue, including a single integrated shipping service customer that accounted for a substantial majority of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, and our business may rely on one or more suppliers that account for more than 10% of our total purchases, and the loss of business from any of our top customers and any material interruptions with our key supplier s suppliers may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations ." For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our revenue derived from integrated shipping services totaled $34,719,501, $53,211,314, $48,045,772, and nil, respectively, representing 88%, 90%, 80%, and nil of our total revenue for each respective period and year.
We also operate an e -commerce business that utilizes our logistics and supply chain infrastructure to conduct cross -border e -commerce . We source consumer goods from PRC -based suppliers and sell them in the U.S. through third -party platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair. Our e -commerce business primarily focuses on toy products that are popular among U.S. consumers. For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated $81,005, $133,149, $1,128,984, and $996,088, respectively, from our e -commerce business, representing 0.2%, 1.9%, and 12.5% of our total revenue for each respective period and year.
For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had total revenue of approximately $39.2 $59.4 million, $60.4 million, and $8.0 million, respectively, and net income of approximately $0.6 $2.8 million, $1.1 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. As of June September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and 2023, we served an active customer base of 51, 76, 138, and 68 clients, respectively. While we do not have any subsidiaries, assets, or employees in the PRC, we generate a significant part of our revenue from customers based in China. During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated approximately 94%, 87%, and 17% of our revenue from PRC -based customers, respectively. See " Risk Factors — Economic, Political, and Market Risks — China's economic, political, and social conditions, as well as governmental policies, could affect the business environment and economic conditions in China, which may result in an adverse impact on the demand for our services, potentially harming our financial condition and operating results ."

Our largest customers generate a significant portion of our revenue, including a single integrated shipping service customer that accounted for a substantial majority of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, and our business may rely on one or more suppliers that account for more than 10% of our total purchases, and the loss of business from any of our top customers and any material interruptions with our supplier s suppliers may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we derived most of our revenue from a few customers. Specifically, during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, we provided our integrated shipping services exclusively to a single international carrier customer, and this customer contributed approximately 88% 89% and 80% of our total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our largest customer contributed approximately 40% our total revenue. Additionally, as of June September 30, 2025, four two customers accounted for approximately 46%, 13%, 12% 51% and 12% 22% of our accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, four customers accounted for approximately 28%, 26%, 16% and 11% of our accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, four customers accounted for approximately 16%, 15%, 13% and 10% of our accounts receivable, respectively. Over the same period or years, no other customers represented more than 10% of our total revenue or accounts receivable. For an example of a typical transaction, see " Business — Customers ." We may lose a significant customer due to a variety of factors, including our ability to provide quality integrated shipping services and/or warehouse and logistics management services. In particular, our agreement with HEDE, our largest customer in 2024 accounting for approximately 80% of our total revenue, remains effective for a fixed term of 36 months but may be terminated earlier by either party upon 90 days' prior written notice. See " Business — Customers. " Even though we have a strong record of performance, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to maintain the business cooperation with these significant customers at the same level, or at all. In particular, any disruption, termination, or deterioration in our commercial relationship with our single integrated shipping customer, whether due to reduced service needs, unfavorable contract renegotiation, operational disputes, financial difficulties of the customer, or termination of the agreement, could have a material and adverse effect on our revenue, cash flow, and profitability. If any significant customer terminates its relationship with us, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure an alternative arrangement with comparable customers in a timely manner, or at all. Losing one or more of these significant customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In addition, we depend upon a few suppliers that accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases for the past two years — specifically, our largest supplier accounted for 72% 73% of our total purchases for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025. Our largest supplier accounted for approximately 69% of our total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our top three suppliers accounted for 22%, 19% and 11% of our total purchases, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of June September 30, 2025, two suppliers accounted for 72% 70% and 12% 15% of our total balance of accounts payable, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, one supplier accounted for approximately 83% of our total balance of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2023, three suppliers accounted for 20%, 15% and 10% of our total balance of accounts payable, respectively. We cannot ensure that we will have no concentration of suppliers in the future. Such third -party suppliers are run by independent entities that are subject to their own unique operational and financial risks, which are beyond our control. If such significant suppliers breach or terminate their contracts with us, or experience significant disruptions to their operations, we will be required to find and enter into arrangements with one or more replacement suppliers. Finding alternative suppliers could involve significant delays and other costs and these suppliers may not be available to us on reasonable terms or at all. As a result, this could harm our business and financial results and result in lost or deferred revenue.

In addition, our business may be negatively impacted by the fear of, exposure to, or actual effects of, a disease outbreak, epidemic, pandemic, or similar widespread public health concern, including travel restrictions or recommendations or mandates from governmental authorities as a result of the COVID -19 pandemic, the threat of the virus, or the emergence of any variants. During the year ended December 31, 2022, our business was moderately impacted by the COVID -19 pandemic. Specifically, the COVID -19 pandemic posed significant challenges for logistics companies globally. Multiple national lockdowns, in particular the lockdowns, travel restrictions, mandatory cessations of business operations, or mandatory quarantines imposed in the PRC, slowed or even temporarily halted the movement of raw materials and finished goods, thus disrupting the manufacturing and distribution of goods. During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the COVID -19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. However, there is no assurance that a disease outbreak, such as the COVID -19 pandemic or any other natural disasters, will not occur in the future. The extent to which such natural diseases may impact us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the duration, severity, and recurrence of any such disease outbreak, the effectiveness of mitigation strategies, third -party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects, and the travel restrictions, recommendations, or mandates from governmental authorities as a result of such natural disasters or disease outbreaks. Any of these factors may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As we derived approximately 94%, 87%, and 17% of our revenue from customers in the PRC during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the continued success of our operations will be heavily dependent on the willingness of our overseas customers to source goods from other countries, particularly from the PRC, and utilize our logistics services for distribution to the U.S. This, in turn, depends heavily on stable political and economic relations between the PRC and the U.S. In the event of any significant deterioration in the PRC's relations with the U.S., our customers in the PRC may refrain from selling their merchandise in the U.S. market, and executive action or legislation may be enacted that would adversely affect the profitability, feasibility, and thus the willingness of these customers to continue their cross -border business in the U.S. Given that we cannot predict what actions may ultimately be taken with respect to trade relations between the U.S. and China, our supply chain, costs, and profitability may be negatively impacted by the adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the continuation of the trade conflicts, or other government actions related to tariffs, trade agreements, or related policies. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, the U.S. -China relationship has recently faced a daunting challenge, contributing to geopolitical instability worldwide. Because we derived approximately 94%, 87% and 17% of our revenue from PRC -based customers during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, our business relies on a stable economic and political relationship between the U.S. and China. However, the tensions between the two countries have intensified since the COVID -19 pandemic, exemplified by the ongoing trade conflicts between U.S. and China, and there is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the two countries with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations, and tariffs. A deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and China, or a prolonged stalemate between them, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

While we do not have any subsidiaries, assets, or employees in the PRC, we generate a significant part of our revenue from customers based in China. During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated approximately 94%, 87%, and 17% of our revenue from PRC -based customers, respectively. We expect such PRC -based revenue to continue to comprise a significant part of our revenue going forward. As a result, any unforeseen events or circumstances that negatively impact our ability to provide our services to our PRC customers would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. These negative events and circumstances include, but may not be limited to, the following:
20 unchanged paragraphs
We are a U.S. domestic company and do not maintain any subsidiaries, offices, or operations in the PRC and are therefore not subject to PRC laws or jurisdiction. Restrictions imposed by the PRC government on cash transfers do not affect our own ability to transfer cash between our Company and our subsidiaries, or to distribute cash to U.S. investors. However, a significant portion of our revenue is generated from PRC -based customers. For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated approximately 94%, 87%, and 17% of our revenue from PRC -based customers, respectively. These PRC entities, as export -oriented enterprises, generally remit payments to us in U.S. dollars through standard international bank transfers, which are permitted under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations. However, PRC laws and regulations are subject to change. While our customers' payments to us have not been materially affected by existing requirements, there is no assurance that the PRC government will not implement additional measures in the future that could restrict or delay our PRC customers' ability to remit payments to us. In the event that the foreign exchange control system prevents our PRC customers from remitting their payments to the U.S., we may not be able to receive a substantial portion of our revenue. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

All of our directors and officers and our stockholders owning 5% or more holders of our shares of common stock immediately prior to this offering have agreed with the Representative not to sell, transfer, or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of six (6) months from the date of this prospectus. See " Underwriting — Lock -up Agreements ." Our pre -IPO stockholders may be able to sell their shares of common stock under Rule 144 after the completion of this offering and following the expiration of that lock -up period, if applicable. See " Shares Eligible for Future Sale " below. Because these stockholders have paid a lower price per share of our common stock than participants in this offering, when they are able to sell their pre -IPO shares under Rule 144 and following the expiration of the lock -up period, if applicable, they may be more willing to accept a lower sales price than the IPO price. This fact could impact the trading price of the common stock following the completion of the offering, to the detriment of participants in this offering. Under Rule 144, before our pre -IPO stockholders can sell their shares, in addition to meeting other requirements, they must meet the required holding period. We do not expect any of the common stock to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during the pendency of this offering.

Dividend policy 1 change
During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025, we declared and paid a cash distribution of $1,000,000 $1,132,970 to our shareholder, which was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we declared and paid a cash distribution of $92,537 to our shareholders, which was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. Other than these two distributions, we have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock as of the date of this prospectus. Our board of directors currently intends to retain any future earnings to support our operations and growth, and does not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We are organized under the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), which prohibits the payment of a dividend if, after giving it effect, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities.

Through Duke System Logistics, one of our subsidiaries, we offer a comprehensive package of end -to -end logistics services tailored for merchant customers importing goods from foreign markets, particularly from East Asia, for sale in the U.S. Our 3PL logistics services encompass the entire supply chain spectrum, including (i) ocean freight services, (ii) port and drayage services, and (iii) warehousing and last -mile delivery services. These offerings are strengthened by our cooperation with major ocean carriers such as Cosco Shipping, SM Line, HMM, and HEDE, enabling efficient and reliable transportation from East Asia directly to the U.S. Although we do not have our own operations in any Chinese ports, these partnerships have enabled us to significantly reduce transit times by managing the first leg of transportation efficiently, with express services between major Chinese ports and U.S. ports of entry. Apart from ocean freight and port logistics, we also provide warehousing and last -mile delivery solutions, with our facilities equipped with equipment and technologies to handle anything from small parcels to large items such as furniture and appliances. Our end -to -end logistics capabilities cover storage, inventory management, and order fulfilment and delivery, supported by collaborations with major couriers such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS, ensuring fast and reliable delivery to end consumers. The integration of these services not only enables smoother transitions and faster delivery times but also assists our clients in optimizing their operations and expanding their market reach. For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated 3PL logistics revenue of $4,439,792, $6,040,862, $11,204,925, and $6,984,810, respectively, representing 11%, 10%, 19%, and 88% of our total revenue for each respective period and year.
In April 2024, we expanded into integrated shipping services through our subsidiary Duke Shipping, leveraging our prior experience coordinating ocean freight and port -related services under our 3PL logistics operations. Duke Shipping acts as a designated U.S. shipping facilitator for non -U .S. -based carriers, focusing on port and cargo operations for international shipping lines entering and operating in the U.S. market. We assist our carrier clients with regulatory compliance, berth and terminal arrangements, vessel scheduling, coordination of cargo unloading, pilotage, towage, tugboat assistance, and cleaning services, as well as demurrage and detention charge processing. As of the date of this prospectus, we provide our integrated shipping services exclusively to a single customer, and act as a principal in delivering such services. See " Risk Factors — Operational Risks — Our largest customers generate a significant portion of our revenue, including a single integrated shipping service customer that accounted for a substantial majority of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, and our business may rely on one or more suppliers that account for more than 10% of our total purchases, and the loss of business from any of our top customers and any material interruptions with our key suppliers may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations ." For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our revenue derived from integrated shipping services totaled $34,719,501, $53,211,314, $48,045,772, and nil, respectively, representing 88%, 90%, 80%, and nil of our total revenue for each respective period and year.

We source consumer goods from PRC -based suppliers and sell them in the U.S. through third -party platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair. Our e -commerce business primarily focuses on toy products that are popular among U.S. consumers. For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated $81,005, $133,149, $1,128,984, and $996,088, respectively, from our e -commerce business, representing 0.2%, 1.9%, and 12.5% of our total revenue for each respective period and year.

As we began providing integrated shipping services in 2024, we are still in the early stages of developing this line of business.

Any such adverse development could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See "— Customers " and " Risk Factors — Operational Risks — Our largest customers generate a significant portion of our revenue, including a single integrated shipping service customer that accounted for a substantial majority of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, and our business may rely on one or more suppliers that account for more than 10% of our total purchases, and the loss of business from any of our top customers and any material interruptions with our key suppliers may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations ."
