US Import Clearance, Done Right.
From ISF filing to final release — BorderTek coordinates the full US customs entry process so your cargo clears CBP accurately, on time, and without surprises.
Missed ISF filings cost $5,000. Wrong HTS codes trigger audits. We keep both from happening.
Every Entry Type, Covered
Whether it's a simple de minimis parcel or a multi-line formal entry with PGA requirements — we coordinate the right filing for your shipment.
Formal Entry (Type 01)
For commercial shipments over $2,500 — full CBP entry with HTS classification, duty calculation, and bond on file.
Informal & Section 321
De minimis entries under $800 and informal entries under $2,500 — coordinated for speed and low overhead.
ISF 10+2
Importer Security Filing before vessel departure. Late or missing ISF means a $5,000 penalty and potential cargo hold.
FDA Prior Notice
Required for all food, beverage, supplement, and drug imports. We coordinate timely submission to avoid FDA holds.
FTZ & Bonded Entry
Duty-deferred entries for Foreign Trade Zones and bonded warehouses — coordinated with your facility and CBP.
AMS / ACI Manifest
Advance cargo information submissions for ocean and air — matched to your entry to prevent manifest holds.
The Hard Stuff Is Our Specialty
AD/CVD, Section 301, quota, PGA filings — the compliance areas that trip up most importers are where we earn our keep.
Clean Documentation
Prevents Costly Delays
CBP holds, intensive exams, and ISF penalties don't happen by accident — they happen when documentation is rushed, classifications are guessed, or filings are late. The cost of getting it wrong far exceeds the cost of getting it right.
BorderTek's approach is documentation-first. We collect what's needed before cargo ships, coordinate classification with our partner network, and file everything on time — so your freight moves on first pass.
