All commercial shipments require a customs bond. There are two types of these bonds, continuous and single entry. If you are a frequent importer it is cost effective to purchase a continuous bond, which can be used anywhere in the United States for all your shipments. Because we handle a volume of these continuous bonds we are able to provide special discounted rates on bonds purchased through us. We would be happy to speak with you on whether or not a continuous bond is right for you

Certain commodities require clearance by other government agencies in addition to U.S. Customs clearance. These commodities include food, cosmetics and some apparel (if made with animal products). These are very involved entries and penalties for non-compliance are serious. They require clearance from Food and Drug, USDA and possibly Fish and Wildlife. We clear these items on a daily basis and have a lot of experience with these agencies. Because we have experience in this industry you do not need to concentrate and focus so much of your attention on getting shipments cleared from these agencies or even instructing your broker on what these commodities are. This saves you valuable time and most importantly keeps you compliant with FDA and other government agencies.
