Customs clearance broker for air and sea freight logistics

Clearance and documents done right

You move through borders faster when your data matches the rules and your papers are complete. As your customs clearance broker, you get tariff code guidance, valuation checks and clean entries that release on time. We check commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates and licenses, then reconcile values so duties and taxes post correctly. If your goods need special treatment like temporary import, ATA Carnet or inward processing, we draft the right declaration and show what records you must keep. Our import export documentation service builds accurate files before cargo departs, so carriers and destination teams avoid rework. We standardize descriptions to match the Harmonized System, guide permit steps for controlled items and save approvals in your shipment profile. We also pre-classify SKUs, request binding rulings when needed and keep a change log that ties revisions to shipment IDs. During audits, you can pull a full digital trail with version control and clear retention windows. We file ISF, ENS and advance manifests on time, then send you duty and tax estimates before lift. When something changes after arrival, we file post entry corrections fast and keep you informed. You see release milestones in one view, alerts for exams and a repeatable playbook for future orders. With tight paperwork, practical coaching and proactive updates, you reduce delays, fees and stress while protecting cash flow.

Clear air options and pricing

When time is the variable, air keeps plans on track. We quote air freight forwarder rates with a simple breakdown of carrier base rate, surcharges and last mile cost so you see true landed cost. You choose direct, deferred or consolidation schedules that balance speed and budget, and we hold space ahead of peak weeks. Export screening, security filings and terminal cutoffs are handled upstream to protect your timeline. Last fall, I watched a factory avoid a shutdown after we arranged a same day uplift. We run first mile pickup, airline tender, customs pre-clear and airport recovery under one plan, then track handoffs in a single view. If weather or congestion hits, we reroute through alternate hubs and keep your consignee updated. Ready to ship faster? With clear options, steady communication and quick decisions, you keep launches on time and cash flowing.

Ocean schedules without surprises

Ocean rewards planning and detail. For sea freight LCL FCL shipping, you choose the right mode for volume, risk and timeline. LCL cuts cost on smaller orders and shares container space, while FCL protects high value or sensitive goods and reduces handling. We publish sailing windows, cutoff dates and port rotations, then align vendor bookings to meet them. Our documents match carrier and port needs to prevent rollovers, demurrage and storage. We monitor berthing, transshipments and free time, submit manifests early and set delivery plans before arrival. For special cargo, we arrange reefer, flat rack or open top and advise on stow plans. If markets swing, we adjust allocations and negotiate to keep your cost curve steady. You see performance in simple dashboards that show on time sailings, landed costs and exceptions. The result is stable transit, fewer handoffs and predictable arrivals you can plan around.

Door to door you control

Great logistics feels invisible, yet every detail matters. Our door to door logistics covers pickup, main leg, customs and final delivery under one plan with a single point of contact. We design routing that matches your service level, then align truckers, airlines and ocean carriers to the same milestones. Duties, taxes and accessorials are forecast upfront so invoices match expectations. We book delivery appointments, confirm site readiness and plan liftgate or pallet jack needs to avoid failed attempts. For inside delivery or white glove, we brief crews on building rules, docks and hours to cut dwell time. High velocity programs need rhythm, so we put in place vendor routing guides, carton labels and advance ship notices that make receiving fast and accurate. You track milestones in one view, get exception alerts and see promised dates next to actual events. If a lane underperforms, we swap carriers, reset cutoffs and adjust pickup windows before schedules slip. When you need comparisons, we model air vs ocean vs rail and show tradeoffs in time and cost so you choose with confidence. One plan, fewer surprises, faster cash and happier consignees.

Compliance and continual improvement

Compliance is not a one time task, it is a habit you build and protect. We map your product data to the correct tariff codes, then review valuation, country of origin and special program eligibility to reduce duties where lawful. We help you maintain records that meet audit standards and we finish broker powers of attorney, permits and renewals on time. Classification changes, carrier rules and security programs evolve, so we send practical updates and explain what to change in your workflow. We run post entry checks to spot misdeclared values and file corrections quickly. Vendor packs, SKU templates and training keep teams aligned so each shipment mirrors the standard you expect. When you add new lanes, we test a pilot shipment, check milestones and adjust cutoffs before you scale. Data reviews show landed cost trends, release times and exception root causes, then we turn those insights into small fixes that stick. Over quarters, that steady loop of coaching and updates makes your network easier to run, cheaper to ship and simpler to audit.

Bottom line: Choose one expert partner to align documents, modes and milestones so shipments clear fast and arrive on time.
