Providing Customs clearances and Participating Government Agencies clearances around the United States.
Customs and Border Protection is the gateway federal agency for all cargo imported into the United States.
Over the past decade, we have seen Customs evolve and demand more information earlier in the importation process. As CBP has changed their requirements, so we have changed how we work with our clients and provide that information to Customs.
We work with CBP from the pre-departure filings of the Importer Security Filing through the FDA Prior Notice and presentation of entry before the goods have arrived in the United States to insure a smooth, uninterrupted Customs clearances.
In the future, Customs’ new Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) will further change how we interact, and we’ll will be ready before this transition happens in November, 2015.
ACE represents an opportunity for us and our clients to provide more information to Customs through new processes, increasing transparency and providing additional and deeper analytics and reporting to help importers better understand their supply chains.
