Why team with a customs broker?
Compliance support
Shipments involving sensitive goods, like medicine, perishable food or government cargo, are often subject to specific federal regulations and additional government agency clearance. To streamline shipping, customs brokers provide compliance support for frequently called upon U.S. bodies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Transportation, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and the Defense Contract Management Agency.
Streamlined, priority clearance
No business wants their shipments held up due to clearance delays. That’s why top customs brokers use approaches like pre-clearance processing (pre-keying from parts databases, for example) to deliver hassle-free clearance through U.S. ports of entry.
