Customs Brokerage SOLUTIONS
Cleared without the hold
However your cargo arrives, a customs hold can stop it at the last step. As a US-registered, CBP-empowered broker, National flies your entry right the first time and clears it across every port and entry type, ocean, air, or overland, so a clerical question never becomes a held container.

IS customs brokerage RIGHT FOR YOU?
When clearance is the difference between waiting and moving
Borders are where good shipments go to sit. The right broker is what keeps yours from joining them. That’s where we come in.
- A classification question doesn’t have to mean a delay: The wrong HS code, an uncertain valuation, or a duty rate nobody’s sure of. Our commodity experts classify, value, and document your entry correctly the first time, so a clerical question never becomes a held container.
- A government agency doesn’t have to mean a wall: FDA, USDA, EPA, and the other PGAs each bring their own requirements. We file across all of them, plus ISFs and in-bonds, so a shipment under multiple jurisdictions still clears as one clean entry.
- A weekend doesn’t have to mean a wait: Cargo doesn’t only land Monday to Friday. Our after-hours, weekend, and holiday clearance team works your entry when your freight arrives, not whenever the office happens to reopen.
- A border doesn’t have to mean a black box: Wondering where your entry stands is its own kind of delay. Real-time track and trace, EDI transmissions, and email alerts keep you current at every step, so you always know your cargo’s status with customs.
HOW It WORKS
Cleared by people who do this all day, every day
You get commodity specialists and licensed brokers who handle your entry end to end, one team from filing to release. They file it right, clear it clean, and keep you posted at every step. You stay focused on your business. They stay focused on getting your cargo through.
Filed right the first time
Entry procedures, admissibility, classification, valuation, duty rates, taxes and fees. Our specialists handle the full filing so your entry holds up to scrutiny and clears without a second pass.
Every port, every entry type
All US ports, all entry types, all PGAs, ISFs, in-bonds, and ATA Carnets for temporary crossings. Whatever your cargo is and wherever it enters, we file the entry that fits it, fully ACE-compliant through the Automated Commercial Environment.
Cleared around the clock
After-hours, weekend, and holiday clearances mean your shipment moves the moment it arrives. A real person works your entry on the timeline your freight is on, not the calendar’s.
Backed by bonds and compliance
Customs bonds, insurance, and import and export compliance training, so you’re covered on the entry in front of you and the program behind it.
