Ocean Freight Customs Entry
Formal Entry · Informal Entry · Section 321 De Minimis
Full customs entry preparation and filing for bulk vessel arrivals at Gulf and West Coast ports. We process entry summaries against CBP ACE within 24 hours of vessel arrival notification, covering grain, mineral concentrates, and liquid bulk petroleum under a single broker bond.
ISF Filing & Vessel Compliance
Importer Security Filing 10+2 · 24-Hour Manifest Rule
Mandatory CBP Importer Security Filing submitted no later than 24 hours before lading at origin port. For bulk and break-bulk vessels, we manage the 10-element ISF-10 and coordinate with vessel operators on the 2 carrier elements — ensuring no vessel holds at anchorage.
FDA Prior Notice & Phytosanitary Clearance
USDA APHIS · FDA PN · Lacey Act · PPQ Form 368
Agricultural commodity imports require USDA APHIS phytosanitary certification and FDA Prior Notice filed through PNSI before the vessel reaches anchorage. We coordinate with foreign inspection authorities, translate phytosanitary certificates, and file PN no later than 8 hours before arrival for ocean shipments.
Duty Drawback Recovery
Manufacturing Drawback · Unused Merchandise · Rejected Goods
Commodity traders routinely over-pay import duties on goods subsequently exported, re-exported as manufactured products, or returned as rejected merchandise. Our drawback specialists identify eligible entries, prepare CBP Form 7551, and file accelerated payment claims — recovering duties typically left on the table.
