## What We Take Care Of

Here's the stuff that usually gives importers headaches. We handle it every day.

### Customs Clearance & ISF Filings

The ISF (also called "10+2") has to be filed 24 hours before your shipment leaves the foreign port. Miss it and you're looking at fines. We make sure that doesn't happen.

- We file your ISF on time, every time
- Prepare all customs entry paperwork
- Calculate duties so there are no surprises
- Handle CBP exams when they happen

### Customs Bonds

You need a bond to import commercial goods. It's basically a guarantee that you'll pay your duties and follow the rules. We'll help you get the right one.

- **Single Entry:** Good for one-time imports
- **Continuous Bond:** Annual bond for regular importers
- Competitive rates and fast processing
- We monitor your bond to make sure it's sufficient

### Import Permits

A lot of products need special permits before they can come into the country. Food, electronics, medical devices... they all have their own rules. We know which agencies you need to work with.

- FDA permits for food, drugs, and medical devices
- USDA/APHIS for agricultural products
- EPA for chemicals and vehicles
- TTB for alcohol and tobacco

### Marine Insurance

The carrier's liability is limited. Really limited. If your cargo is worth anything, you need proper insurance. We'll help you get coverage that actually protects you.

- All-risk coverage from door to door
- Protection against damage, theft, and loss
- Good rates from trusted insurers
- We help with claims if something goes wrong

## We Also Handle

Tariff Classification

Getting the HTS code right so you pay the correct duties. No more, no less.

Regulatory Compliance

USDA, FDA, APHIS: we know the rules and make sure you follow them.

In-Bond Moves

Moving cargo between ports or to bonded warehouses without paying duties upfront.
