QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Which documents should I send first?
Start with a clear product description, the available commercial invoice and packing information, and transport details. The brokerage team will confirm any additional documents required for your goods.
Can customs clearance be combined with trucking or storage?
Yes. Brokerage can be coordinated with drayage, warehousing and onward distribution. The transport handoff, handling location and release status need to be aligned before collection.
Can you guarantee when a shipment will clear?
Clearance timing depends on complete and accurate information and any customs or other agency review. Discuss the shipment early so the team can review the information and steps needed before arrival.
