USA Customs Clearance
Licensed US Customs Brokers for China Imports.
Every shipment entering the United States requires formal customs entry filed by a licensed US Customs Broker. For China-sourced goods, this process is especially complex — Section 301 tariffs, antidumping duties, ISF filing requirements, and CBP enforcement priorities all add layers of compliance risk that an inexperienced broker can miss. Freight China Logistics partners with a network of licensed, experienced US customs brokers who specialize in China import entries. We clear air freight and ocean freight through every major US port — accurately, quickly, and fully compliant with CBP requirements.
Our USA Customs Brokerage Services
Formal Entry Filing
Our licensed brokers prepare and transmit Type 01 (Formal Entry) and Type 11 (Informal Entry) customs entries to US Customs and Border Protection via ACE (Automated Commercial Environment). We classify every commodity using the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), calculate applicable duties and fees, and transmit before cargo arrives to ensure immediate release upon arrival.
ISF — Import Security Filing
Import Security Filing (10+2) is mandatory for all ocean freight entering the USA. ISF must be filed at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded aboard the vessel in China. Our ISF team monitors your shipment departures and files accurately and on time — protecting you from CBP penalty holds and liquidated damages.
Section 301 & ADD/CVD Compliance
China imports are subject to Section 301 tariffs (up to 25%), antidumping duties (ADD), and countervailing duties (CVD) depending on the commodity. Our compliance team reviews every entry for applicable additional duty rates, first sale valuation opportunities, and exclusion eligibility — so you never pay more than required.
Port-to-Door Last Mile Delivery
After customs clearance, your freight needs to get to your warehouse or customer. We offer domestic trucking and intermodal delivery from every major US port to any zip code in the continental US. FCL, LCL, air freight — all modes handled in one transaction.
