Everything Between Your Supplier and Your Warehouse

We know exactly where shipments get stuck at U.S. Customs — and how to keep yours moving. Every service below is handled by a licensed customs broker, not a call center.

📋

Customs Entry Filing (ACE)

Electronic entry and entry summary filing direct to CBP through the Automated Commercial Environment. Pre-filed up to 5 days before arrival so your cargo is released the moment it lands.

🔍

HTS Tariff Classification

Misclassification is the #1 cause of penalties and overpaid duty. We classify to the 10-digit level, defend it with binding rulings, and routinely recover money importers didn't know they lost.

🛳️

ISF (10+2) Filing

Importer Security Filing submitted 24 hours before lading — every time. One missed ISF is a $5,000 penalty. Our automated ISF workflow has a perfect on-time record.

💵

Duty Drawback & Recovery

Exporting goods you paid duty on? You may be owed up to 99% back. We build and file drawback claims that stand up to CBP audit — found money for your bottom line.

🛡️

Customs Bonds & Compliance

Single-entry and continuous bonds, importer of record setup, CTPAT guidance, prior disclosures, and audit defense. We keep you compliant before CBP comes asking.

🏛️

FDA, USDA & PGA Clearance

Food, medical devices, cosmetics, plants, electronics — we handle every Partner Government Agency requirement (FDA, USDA, EPA, FCC, DOT) so regulated cargo clears without surprises.

The Simplified Process

Three Steps. That's It.

Other brokers bury you in paperwork and jargon. We built our process the way veteran brokers wish every clearance worked: you send documents, we do everything else.

1

Send Us Your Documents

Email or upload your commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. That's all we need to start — no portals to learn, no forms to decipher.

2

We Clear It With CBP

Your licensed broker classifies, files, pays duties, and resolves any holds or exams directly with U.S. Customs. You get plain-English status updates, not codes.

3

Your Cargo Moves

Released freight is dispatched to your door or handed to your carrier of choice. One clean invoice. Full duty breakdown. Zero surprises.

National Permit, Every Port, Every Mode

Ocean, air, rail, and truck at every U.S. port of entry via remote location filing. One broker for your entire supply chain.

Compliance That Protects You

Reasonable care isn't optional — it's the law. Our audit-ready recordkeeping and proactive compliance reviews keep CBP penalties off your desk.

"One truth holds in this business: importers don't lose money on freight — they lose it on bad entries, missed filings, and duty they never owed. Our job is simple: your cargo clears fast, your duty is right, and you never get that letter from CBP."

Straight Answers

Customs Clearance FAQ

How fast can you clear my shipment through U.S. Customs?

Most compliant entries clear the same day we receive documents. Because we pre-file through ACE up to 5 days before vessel arrival, your cargo is often released before it reaches the dock. Air freight is routinely cleared before wheels-down.

Do I legally need a customs broker to import into the USA?

No — but importing without one is how businesses end up with misclassified goods, overpaid duties, ISF penalties, and cargo sitting in exam. A licensed customs broker files correctly the first time and acts as your advocate before CBP. Our fees typically pay for themselves in duty savings alone.

What documents do you need to clear my cargo?

Three basics: commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading (or air waybill). For regulated products we'll tell you exactly what else applies — FDA prior notice, Lacey Act declarations, and so on. We handle the rest.

What does customs brokerage cost?

Flat, transparent entry fees with no hidden accessorials — you'll know your all-in cost before we file. Request a free quote and we'll also review your current entries for duty you may be overpaying right now.

Can you handle shipments at any U.S. port?

Yes. We operate under a national permit with remote location filing, clearing ocean, air, rail, and truck freight at U.S. ports of entry nationwide — LA/Long Beach, New York, Savannah, Houston, Chicago, Miami, Laredo, and everywhere between.
