Can I Get Help Filling Out An ISF Form?

Absolutely! Our Licensed Customs Brokers assist you with all your importing forms. It’s important to note that your continuous bond covers International Security Filing (ISF) rules when importing shipments overseas.

Why Is My Freight Caught In Customs?

There are two main reasons your goods are stuck at a U.S. port of entry. Your goods are either prohibited or your import paperwork is incorrect. Working hand in hand with a Licensed Customs Broker and a freight forwarder ensures your goods are imported seamlessly and you have open dialogue and real time updates on your imports.

Can You Tell Me The Total Cost Of My Import?

Your total costs vary depending on the value of your imports and what kind of importing you are seeking to accomplish. Your total fees, taxes, and duties can be finalized with the assistance of a Licensed Customs Broker. Our Licensed Customs Broker Consulting Session includes this service.

What Import Compliance Issues Can We Help Resolve?

USA Customs Clearance helps importers address documentation errors, tariff classification questions, filing requirements, and other compliance issues that can delay customs clearance or increase import costs. Our licensed customs brokers identify potential problems and help businesses meet applicable CBP requirements.

“I'd recommend USA Customs Clearance to other importers for consultation services.” — Testimonial from Mike F., Importer

Tariff Classification

No more HTS/HS code guesswork. We help determine likely duty exposure, classification requirements, and CBP filing obligations before import.

Section 301 Support

Section 301 tariffs can add extra duties to certain imported goods. We review whether your shipment may qualify for exclusions, refunds, or post-entry recovery options when available.

Avoid ISF Penalties

ISF is a process to document all commercial ocean shipments arriving at a U.S. port of entry. We help prepare and file the ISF on time so importers can reduce the risk of CBP penalties.

Duty Drawback & Mitigation

Duty drawback is a program that refunds shippers for an imported shipment that had to be re-exported or destroyed. Our Customs Brokers evaluate your current importing program to determine your eligibility for a complete or partial refund of import duties.

Gov't Agency Compliancy Assistance

Certain imported products must meet additional requirements from federal agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Our team determines which agency regulates your imports and handles all the additional documentation.

Post Summary Correction Submission

Made an error on your CBP Form 7501? We help you file a post summary correction (PSC) or customs protest to adjust for any tariff changes or errors made in previous shipments.

Customs Entry Filing

There’s a good chance you can make an error during the entry process. We’ll help you with the entire process by contacting CBP, declaring the entry, filing the cargo release and entry summary, and ensuring you pay the correct amount of duties.

Your Customs Brokerage Questions Answered

Do I Need a Customs Bond?

A customs bond is a financial guarantee that helps ensure an importer will meet CBP requirements, including duties, taxes, and fees. For many commercial imports valued over $2,500, or in other cases where CBP requires it, a bond may be necessary before entry and release.

Can a Customs Broker File an ISF for Me?

Yes. A licensed customs broker can help file your Importer Security Filing for ocean freight, review shipment details, and reduce the risk of late, incomplete, or inaccurate filing.

Why is My Freight Stuck in Customs?

A customs hold is a CBP procedure to inspect imported goods or documents before customs release. Two common reasons the CBP holds goods are to retain prohibited products or check shipping documents for incomplete or missing forms, like your Bill of Lading (BoL) or commercial invoice.

Our Licensed Customs Brokers help identify document issues, respond to customs holds, and coordinate next steps for release.

What Affects the Total Cost of My Import?

Your total import costs vary based on shipment value, product classification, import type, duty rates, and other entry-related fees. A licensed customs broker can help estimate landed costs before you import.
