An agile customs clearance makes all the difference
Learn how EP America got an international luxury textile & interior design company’s brokerage covered to add efficiency to their supply chain!
Global companies that need to move cargo frequently usually deal with one weak link in their logistics chain: customs clearance delays.
For over three quarters of a century, a distinguished New York based company with an international presence has been a coveted source for the finest quality trimmings such as tassels, borders, braids, gimp, fringes and more.
To provide that kind of luxury materials, they need to import supplies from multiple points in Europe and Asia to the United States, and move inputs and products between Europe and Canada, too.
The extra mile
In EP America, we work to be more than a freight forwarder. We aim to be our clients’ best strategic partners in logistics, designing a high-quality customers’ experience and comprehensive services.
After a few months coordinating their routes with exactitude, we were proudly invited to help them with customs clearance for the air and ocean imports from Europe and Asia.
We started taking care of multiple shipments, that arrived on time, since we had in hand all the required documents to get the cargo at their door. Before, just the customs clearance could takedays.
In my opinion, these are the main benefits of having your strategic logistics partner taking care of your customs clearance:
- Getting rid of complex administrative duties
I think not even bureaucrats like bureaucracy. In other hand, all kinds of bureaucracies can curb your supply chain’s smooth flow. When you have a trustworthy logistics partner, you can leave them that duty with the peace of mind that it will be solved.
- One-stop shop for your cargo
When your strategic logistics partner is empowered to take care of your customs clearance too, it can design your whole logistics plan considering the least congested routes, the ones with advantages related to entry and duty/tax, free-trade agreements and even local services that can drive the cargo to “more friendly” (A.K.A. time saving) customs clearance areas.
- Explore cost-savvy options
Besides saving you money finding the best routes and friendly areas, a strategic logistics partner can also ensure that your products’ classification shall be accurately priced according to local tax standards, paying the lowest duties possible – and never a fee.
