Customs House Brokerage
The world of international commerce has changed rapidly in the 21st century. Now, more than ever, expertise in customs compliance protects your company from a wide range of fines, penalties and delays. U.S. importers are especially vulnerable as they need to understand the critical importance of strict compliance, and the knowledge and expertise required to maintain it. At Summit Logistics International, we take these matters very seriously and our goal is to be an extension of your logistics department to avoid any of these potential pitfalls in the import process.
We pride ourselves on our expertise in the area of rapid and accurate processing of Customs entries in order to allow for the successful delivery of our clients’ products. Our staff assists customers with proper classification of all merchandise, preparation of detailed documents, and submission of all documents to U.S. Customs and other government agencies, as required.
All entries are processed via Customs Automated Broker Interface (ABI) system. This electronic system provides for the fastest, most efficient means to process U.S. Customs information. We transmit our data to U.S. Customs headquarters in Washington D. C. via a dedicated leased-line to ensure successful and timely entries. In addition, we participate in Customs Automated Manifest System (AMS) in order to obtain electronic release of air and sea shipments. These two systems dramatically decrease the amount of time it takes to clear goods at U.S. ports of entry.
Let Summit Logistics International show you how we help our customers in this critical area of international trade.
