Importing Goods to the USA. U.S. Customs Broker

The Essential Role of U.S. Customs Brokers*

A U.S. customs broker is a key partner in global logistics, ensuring smooth clearance of goods while optimizing international shipping costs. These licensed professionals act as intermediaries between businesses involved in global logistics and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), handling complex documentation, tariff classifications, and regulatory compliance.

Their expertise helps importers and exporters navigate:

HS code classifications and duty calculations
Free trade agreements benefit in reducing international shipping costs
FDA, EPA, and other agency requirements for regulated commodities

By preventing clearance delays, brokers help international shipping companies avoid costly demurrage and storage fees. They also resolve customs holds quickly, keeping supply chains moving. Whether importing or exporting from the USA, customs brokers play a vital role in making international cargo transportation more efficient and cost-effective. Their knowledge of ever-changing trade regulations ensures compliance while minimizing unexpected expenses in global logistics, a crucial advantage in today's world marketplace.

*Currently, we do not offer services for shipping goods to the USA. As a licensed and bonded U.S. Freight Forwarder, we support export from the U.S. only. We dispatch Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) freight shipping from the USA utilizing our online freight calculator.

However, general procedures for importing merchandise into foreign commerce zones are basically similar worldwide.

If you are unsure about specific import registration requirements in your destination country, we suggest contacting the country's consulate in the United States or consulting a customs broker licensed in that country.
