Customs Brokerage
Customs Clearance That Protects Your Margins, Not Just Your Cargo
Licensed U.S. customs brokers who prevent delays, reduce duty exposure, and keep your supply chain moving. Compliance done right is a profit center, not a cost.
Where Shipments Die
A single incorrect HTS classification can trigger a customs exam costing $3,000 and delaying inventory for two weeks. A missed ISF filing triggers automatic penalties starting at $5,000. A valuation error invites audit risk that consumes staff time and legal fees for months.
Customs is where shipments live or die. Most companies treat it as administrative overhead. Beyond Logix treats it as strategic advantage.
Our licensed brokers prevent disasters through preparation, not reaction. We clear cargo while competitors are still finding their paperwork. We structure entries for minimum duty exposure within legal bounds. We identify drawback opportunities that recover thousands in paid duties.
That expertise is how we protect your margins as Your Partner in Profitability™.
ISF Filings
Full Container Load:
Importer Security Filing (10+2) is mandatory 24 hours before cargo loads on a vessel overseas. Late filings cost money. Incorrect filings cost more and flag your company for increased scrutiny. We file ISF for every shipment with verified supplier data, confirmed container details, and accurate product descriptions. No surprises at the port. No automatic penalties. No flags that trigger future examinations.
Entry Type Selection:
Consumption entries for standard imports. Temporary importation under bond for trade show displays and equipment returns. Warehouse entries for deferred duty payment. Foreign trade zone admissions for manufacturing operations. We select the structure that optimizes your cash flow and compliance.
HTS Classification:
Proper classification determines duty rates and regulatory requirements. Our specialists understand the nuanced distinctions between similar products. We optimize your classification within legal bounds to minimize duty exposure while maintaining defensible positions.
Valuation:
We ensure proper valuation including assists, royalties, and related party pricing adjustments that withstand CBP scrutiny and prevent audit triggers.
Documentation:
Commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and special permits assembled and submitted accurately the first time.
Bond Management
Continuous customs bonds expire annually. Insufficient bond coverage prevents clearance. Lapsed bonds trigger automatic holds.
We monitor expiration dates, process renewals, and maintain sufficient coverage for your import volume. No clearance delays because of administrative oversights.

C TPAT:
Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism certification support. Supply chain security assessments that reduce examination rates and expedite processing.
Duty Drawback
If you export products that contain imported components, you may recover 99% of the duties paid on those original imports. Duty drawback is complex, with strict documentation requirements, time limits, and matching rules.
We identify drawback opportunities in your supply chain. We manage the complex filing process. We accelerate your refunds through proper documentation and CBP relationships.
For many clients, drawback recovery represents six figure annual returns that transform customs from a cost center into a profit source.
The Integration Advantage
We have licensed brokers working with coordinators on every shipment. When a problem arises, they solve it together in real time without escalation delays or finger pointing.
When customs holds your container for examination, our broker knows immediately and begins resolution. When documentation questions arise, your freight coordinator has the answer without calling a separate vendor. When duty savings opportunities appear, we spot them because we see your entire supply chain.
That integration prevents the delays and costs that fragment your logistics and erode your margins. It is how we deliver on our promise as Your Partner in Profitability™.
