Expert Customs Brokerage Services: Simplifying International Shipping

 

Oftentimes, businesses don’t have the time, knowledge, or connections required to transport goods internationally on their own. Our company can help by providing services in both freight forwarding and customs brokerage that cover all areas of exportation and importation for our clients’ cargo worldwide. BMI’s logistics management team coordinates all aspects of shipping, importing, and customs with the experience and expertise required to move goods on schedule and within budget.

We are involved in the entire importation process, including entry procedures, Importer Security Filings (ISF or 10+2), acceptability requirements, and classifying, and evaluating rates of duties, taxes, and fees for our customers’ imported merchandise. BMI also deals with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and various other government agencies. Our specialists are familiar with the rules and regulations of both U.S. and foreign governments to facilitate global cargo transportation via ocean, air, or land with ease.
