Effective Planning to Ensure A Smooth Shipping Process
We prioritize ensuring a smooth shipping experience for our customers. That's why we provide comprehensive export documentation services to handle the necessary paperwork with expertise. From US Customs clearance to bill of lading preparation and export licenses, our team of experts is dedicated to getting it right the first time.
Streamlined US Customs Clearance
Exporting self-propelled and driveable cargo, including machinery, trucks, and cars, requires the approval of US Customs and Border Protection. Rest assured, our experienced team will guide you through the Customs clearance process, ensuring swift approval for your shipment. By booking your shipment with us, you'll receive clear instructions tailored to the specific port of loading, facilitating a seamless Customs clearance experience. US Customs clearance is an integral part of our service, always included.
Bill of Lading Preparation
The bill of lading is a crucial document that serves as proof of ownership for your shipment, allowing the receiver to claim the asset upon arrival. We take care of preparing your bill of lading, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Depending on your preference, we offer two options: original bills of lading (OBLs), which are physical documents that can be sent by courier, and electronic releases (express release, telex release, or seaway bill) that can be transmitted via email, eliminating the need for physical paperwork. Rest assured, bill of lading preparation is a standard part of our service.
Expert Handling of Export Licenses
In cases where you purchase items from government agencies or government surplus auctions, securing an export license is often necessary for exporting the asset out of the United States. Our team is well-versed in preparing export license applications and streamlining the processing time. We work closely with the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security to ensure a smooth and efficient application process. Please note that export license applications typically take 2-4 weeks for approval and are not included unless specified in your quote.
We are committed to providing efficient and reliable export documentation services to ensure your shipment proceeds seamlessly. Should you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to reach out and connect with a member of our team.
