Customs Coordination

Freight forwarding air ocean and inland logistics graphic

International freight depends on the shipment file being as accurate as the physical cargo. FreightForwarders.us helps coordinate documentation and communication among the parties involved in an international movement so transportation and customs processes can proceed with fewer avoidable delays.

Important: FreightForwarders.us does not use this page to represent itself as a licensed customs broker. Formal customs brokerage activities should be performed by appropriately licensed professionals where required.

Shipment Documentation

International cargo commonly involves commercial invoices, packing lists and transport documents, with additional records depending on commodity, origin, destination and regulatory requirements. The shipper and importer are responsible for providing accurate shipment information.

Coordination With Customs Professionals

When formal entry or brokerage services are required, the shipment can be coordinated with the appropriate qualified parties. The goal is to align the transportation timeline with the documentation and release process rather than treating them as unrelated activities.

Reduce Preventable Delays

Incorrect descriptions, missing values, incomplete consignee information and late documents can interrupt a freight movement. Early review of shipment details gives the parties involved more time to resolve questions before cargo reaches a critical cutoff or terminal.
