Cost of Shipping to USA
Determining the Cost of Shipping to USA is complex and depends on multiple dynamic factors. We ensure transparent pricing based on the following criteria:
- Mode of Transport: Air Freight is typically priced based on chargeable weight (actual vs. volumetric), while Ocean Freight is priced based on CBM (Cubic Meter) or full container unit (TEU/FEU).
- Distance and Route: The specific origin (e.g., Dubai) and destination port/airport in the U.S. (East Coast vs. West Coast).
- Fuel and Currency Surcharges: Dynamic costs like Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) for sea freight and Fuel Surcharges for air freight fluctuate with global markets.
- Cargo Nature and Weight: Specialized handling fees apply to hazardous materials, perishable goods, and oversized cargo.
US Customs Clearance (CBP)
US Customs Clearance (CBP) is a mandatory and highly scrutinized process. We manage all required documentation and filing to ensure legal entry:
- Importer of Record (IOR): The importer is responsible for meeting all legal requirements. We assist in ensuring the correct IOR registration and necessary bonding is in place.
- ISF Filing (10+2 Rule): Mandatory advance electronic filing for ocean freight shipments, required 24 hours before vessel loading at the origin port. Failure to file results in severe fines.
- Document Preparation: Accurate preparation of the Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and the Bill of Lading, ensuring all details perfectly match the cargo.
Import Duties USA and Regulatory Compliance
Import Duties USA are determined by the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of the United States. Compliance extends beyond tariffs to various federal agencies:
- HTS Code Verification: We ensure the correct HTS Code (U.S. equivalent of the HS Code) is used to calculate duties and assess eligibility for any free trade agreement benefits.
- PGA (Partner Government Agencies): Many goods require review by other agencies like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). We facilitate documentation to meet these specialized requirements.
- Taxes and Fees: Duties, the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF), and the Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) are all calculated and managed on your behalf.
