An inbond shipment is a customs procedure that allows for the transportation of uncleared cargo within the US without the immediate payment of duties and taxes. This process is facilitated by the Customs Form 7512 (CF7512). Inbond authorization permits cargo to be transported from one port of entry to another or to a designated bonded facility, providing flexibility in logistics and storage.

Customs brokers help simplify the process of moving products over the border. While you don’t legally need a customs broker, there are many products that are difficult to get over the border without the help of one. By using a customs broker you can get your stuff over the border faster and with less hassle.
A customs broker is a licensed individual or company that works closely with border agents in other countries to make sure that goods being imported or exported have met all requirements. A good customs broker will help you with the paperwork and administration and will be available to answer questions on your behalf
“Customs clearance” or “clearing customs” is a phrase we hear a lot in our business. What it really means is the item that’s being imported or exported has met a country’s requirements for entering or leaving its borders. Those requirements vary from country to country and from one item to another. We can help you “clear customs” fast, with less paperwork and fewer headaches.
Our fees are variable based on the complexity of the import, frequency, value, and other factors. Get a duty and tax estimate to learn more about our standard rates, or contact us to discuss pricing tailored to your small or medium-sized business, or our competitive enterprise rates.
The Harmonized System is an international naming structure for the classification of products. It allows participating countries to classify traded goods on a common basis for customs purposes. At the international level, the Harmonized System (HS) for classifying goods is a six-digit code system. You can look up an HS code for shipments into Canada on the Canada Border Services Agency’s webpage for Customs Tariff. For shipments into the United States, you can use this list of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to look up an HS code.
