Helping businesses like yours navigate the complexities of trade

Our Services

HTS Code/Product Duty Classification

Find out your product duty code classification,

We offer two tiers of service, a “Quick Code” classification providing you your HS code and duty rate to any of the countries importing.  This level returns a code in as little as 1 day.

Alternatively, request a full report and call. You’ll get a written brief on the reasons for classification, rules used in determining, and a 10 minute consult call to discuss any potential options or questions you may have.

1 hour Consultation

Book a 1 hour consultation to discuss your product or business today.

Meet in a 1 hour consultation to discuss any topic you’d like more information on.  Whether you’re a new importer and want to understand the process from manufacturer to final destination, or if you have a specific topic that needs to be thoughtfully reviewed; we want to help. The world and language of logistics and trade compliance can be unnerving at times or even alien.  But we strive to make that manageable for you.

Import Duty Bonds

If you are importing on a regular basis, Continuous Entry Bonds could save you thousands over the year in your logistics costs. Import Duty bonds are required for every shipment entering the U.S. which ensures to U.S. Customs that they wont lose out on tax. Usually these are purchased individually by the freight forwarder at the time of import (Single Entry Bond), but that cost is passed to you the importer. As a Licensed Customs Broker we work with the largest surety in the nation to provide reasonable Continuous entry bonds that save you those added fees.  And they cover ISF charges and duty for an entire year.

Compliance Audits and Product reviews

Have your product reviewed to confirm it’s compliance with applicable market regulations.  Products may be checked against U.S., Canada or global regulations.  These detailed compliance reviews check labeling, testing, and permitting requirements. And can be returned in as little as four business days.

Federal Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Registration

Registration of a product or facility. If producing a medical device, cosmetic (MoCRA) or food product we can register your business as required. Or offer U.S. Agent services to foreign manufacturers ensuring your products enter the U.S. swiftly and easily.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Registration or U.S. Agent services provided for products and facilities regulated by the EPA. These include any device or product that makes antimicrobial or pest: prevention, mitigation, destruction, or deterrent claims.
