Customs Brokerage

Customs Brokerage Services

When it comes to shipping internationally, the job isn't done until customs is properly cleared and freight is delivered to the importer.
That's why Mitsubishi Logistics America Corporation (MLA) offers customs brokerage along with our freight forwarding services.
We clear customs for our clients across the US. Our customs compliance coordinators are trained to comply with all applicable rules of the multiple government agencies regulating our nation's imports, including FDA, FCC, USDA, EPA and Fish & Wildlife.

All import entries are audited by licensed customs brokers with experience clearing a wide range of commodities including food, steel, textiles, pesticides, medical devices and military equipment.
Importers are responsible to provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with the details of all their ocean import shipments 24 hrs before freight is laden on board. Our brokerage operations transmit Importer Security Filings (ISF) on behalf of our importers to comply with that responsibility and minimize any delays caused by CBP's security concerns.

MLA has its own customs brokerage department with licensed brokers to provide service specific regional needs (EPA, Anti-Dumping etc.).

Importers responsibility for duty payment:

If you are the importer of record, payment to the broker will not relieve you of liability for customs charges (duties, taxes, or other debts owed CBP) in the event the charges are not paid by the broker. Therefore, if you pay by check, customs charges may be paid with a separate check payable to the "U.S. Customs and Border Protection" which will be delivered to CBP by the broker.
