Since there are several steps depend on your situations, contact us right away by phone, email or using a contact form.
- After unloading from vessel
- Full containers/Etc are automatically place at port/Terminal, until Customs/Agencies has identify who, what & etc. It could only pick-up by trucker with access permits
- LCL cargo are automatically place at CFS warehouse, until Customs/Agencies has identify who, what & etc. It could only pick-up by you or designate Individual/trucker.
- Terminal/Warehouse are chosen by issuer BL/AN/Vessel/Exam-site/Customs/Etc, depending who has space available, convenient & Etc (99%, import has No say-so)
- Vessel will contact issuer AN & Trans-Loaded (shuttle) to CFS warehouse/Terminal. It's Trans-Loaded to Closest XYZ address you have given to your supplier/shipper.
- Before you could receive or pick up or truck your Cargo to final destination:
- You & your warehouse/port will be receiving Freight-Released from issuer Arrival-Notice/Forwarder/Carrier/Vessel/Etc, only after, you have satisfied Arrival-Notice
- You & your warehouse/port will be receiving Customs-Released (aka; Pick-up-Order/3461/3299/7501/Etc) from us/Customs, only after, you have satisfied ISF & Entry.
- At the time of picking-up or trucking your cargo, warehouse/port/terminal/Etc fee (aka storage/ in-&-out/ forklift/ Per-diem/ Etc) must pay directly to warehouse/port/terminal
- FYI: As all Airline-Ticket are Airport-Airport, all imports are Port to Port. Again, there are for basic domestic trucking fee: ISF, Entry, Arrival-Notice & warehouse/port/terminal
- Before customs-released can be issued, you must decide, IF it's self-pick-up or designate pick-up person or hiring your own trucker or hiring us to arrange trucking
- IF you are picking-up your-self or pointing a other designate person, email photo-picture of driver-license. IF you're hired your own trucker, email trucking company info.
- IF you are hiring us, to arrange your domestic Trucking some sort of logistics then, email receiver full address, name, phone, email & driver-license. FYI: All pick-up-order is issued on your behalf. Or simply call us
- Before receiving/Pick-up/trucking, ask your CFS warehouse/port, if there is any physical/visual/etc damage, if any, contact your supplier/shipper/issuer-arrival-notice/etc.
- FYI: Don't expect Foreign-person (supplier/ seller/ shipper) in Foreign-Country to know OUR Import-Laws, nor to advise/help you with our Domestic-Laws
- Most of foreign & international shipping are handle by supplier (except domestic trucking like logistics), Otherwise, you maybe involved with Foreign Export Dpt (Government, Loader & Etc).
- IF you're Drop-Shipping to customer, have your supplier remove all labels//Etc from all boxes/cargo. After ISF & Entry, create Domestic BL between you & your customer.
- Do NOT abbreviate any info to your supplier, Such as; City, State, Names & Etc (exp: LA could be interpretive as Louisiana vs Los Angeles to your supplier/foreigner).
- If your supplier ask, name of closest US Port, just give them your XYZ address & name/company, so vessel could unload & Trans-Loaded to your Closest XYZ address.
- As owner of Car, you're RESPONSIBLE for all traffic law (not the seller). As owner of cargo, you're RESPONSIBLE for all import law (not your supplier, nor anyone).
- All ISF final ruling is 6 years & Entry is 5 years (IRS is 7 years). Ex: Car owner are RESPONSIBLE for all traffic law, cargo owner are RESPONSIBLE for all import law this is by CBP.
