Import customs clearance is a stressful and complicated process but it is a legal requirement that needs to be carried out correctly. InterStateCarriage Freight can take on the burden of navigating the process for you. As a licensed customs broker, we can ensure entries are legal. We are a dedicated customs broker that follows every regulation, keeps up with the latest developments in the statutory codes while taking the stress out of the process for you. It is crucial to be compliant with Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Customs clearance is done correctly because our entry writers have years of experience with customs brokerage; when we undertake projects for clients, we work very hard to ensure they are compliant with all legal requirements.

We Import Goods and Do Customs Clearance

At InterStateCarriage Freight, we know about CBP requirements. We have years of experience and we keep up to date and abreast of new regulatory developments. From goods classification to determining whether goods qualify for duty-free treatment under any of the bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements, and everything in-between, we can take it on.

Additionally, we are well versed in the requirements of the government agencies (FDA, FCC, EPA, etc.) that govern the import of goods into the US. We shepherd your shipment through customs to ensure professional management throughout the entire import process.

The Forms an Importer Needs

Of course, any import need at minimum a commercial invoice, packing list, and Bill of Lading (or Airway Bill).  But there are a number of other forms that need to be filled out as well, depending on a number of factors. InterStateCarriage Freight will assist you when determining which forms to fill out and when to fill them out, according to your import. The nature of the commodity, its value, and how often you import are just some of the factors an importer must know when entering goods into the US. A good customs broker will know how and when to fill out an ISF, produce clean 1C entries, or have continuous bonds or single entry bonds among other requirements.

If you need customs clearance done, get in touch with us and we would be glad to help you and your imported cargo. If your present customs broker is not living up to your expectations or keeping you in the dark, get in touch. InterStateCarriage Freight strongly believes it is our duty to take care of our customers and we are happy to share our knowledge.

We believe good business relationships are built on dependability, transparency, and efficiency.
