Our brokers classify your goods, estimate duties and file entries before the cargo lands, so containers clear the port instead of sitting in it.
Customs delays cost money in storage, demurrage and missed deliveries. Our licensed brokers review your documents, classify each product, estimate the duties and file every entry ahead of arrival, so your shipment is ready to release the moment it lands.

Duties depend on the tariff code, the value of the goods and the country of origin. We estimate them before arrival.
