Frequently Asked Questions – Customs Brokerage
What does a customs broker do?
A customs broker acts as a liaison between importers/exporters and U.S. Customs & Border Protection. They ensure shipments meet all legal requirements, submit the necessary paperwork, and pay duties/taxes on behalf of the importer.
Do I need a customs broker for my shipment?
While not legally required for all shipments, most businesses use a licensed customs broker to avoid costly delays, fines, and compliance issues — especially for international shipments entering the U.S.
Can you clear shipments at ports outside Baltimore?
Yes — Customs & Trade Logistics provides nationwide customs brokerage, clearing goods at all U.S. ports, including air, sea, and land border crossings.
How long does customs clearance take?
Clearance times vary depending on shipment type, documentation accuracy, and agency inspections. With proper preparation, many shipments are cleared within 24 hours.
What information do you need to clear my shipment?
We typically need your commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading/air waybill, and any applicable government permits or certificates.
