ISF Filing — Importer Security Filing
The ISF (10+2) must be filed 24 hours before vessel departure. Late ISF triggers CBP holds and penalties up to $5,000 per violation. We file ISF on all ocean freight shipments with full accuracy against commercial invoice data.
Formal Customs Entry
We prepare and file Type 01 (formal entry) with CBP. Our licensed brokers classify goods under correct HTS codes, apply correct tariff rates including Section 301, and manage all agency requirements from FDA to USDA.
UFLPA & Section 301 Compliance
Our compliance team screens all China shipments against the UFLPA Entity List and verifies Section 301 tariff applicability. We help importers build supply chain documentation packages to support CBP review and avoid detentions.
Import Compliance Services for China Shipments
HTS Classification
Accurate 10-digit HTS classification for all imported goods. Incorrect classification is the leading cause of CBP audits and duty overpayments. We review classifications for every shipment and can request binding tariff rulings.
Duty & Landed Cost Calculation
Section 301 tariffs make duty calculation complex. We calculate total landed cost — including all duties, MPF, HMF, and applicable additional tariffs — before your shipment departs China, so you know your exact costs upfront.
FDA & PGA Filings
Some China imports require Prior Notice with FDA (food, cosmetics, medical devices) or filings with other Partner Government Agencies (USDA, EPA, FCC). We identify PGA requirements and manage all agency filings on your behalf.

Why Use a Licensed US Customs Broker?
Only licensed Customs House Brokers (CHBs) are authorized by CBP to file customs entries on behalf of importers. Using an unlicensed filer puts your import program at legal risk and limits your ability to resolve issues with CBP directly.
