Customs clearance, handled before your cargo lands

Documentation is where imports are won or lost. We file it early and file it right — so your freight is released on arrival, not stuck in review.

LJM Logistics USA, Inc. clears your imports as part of the same door-to-door move — not as a hand-off to a third party who has never seen your cargo. Because we book the ocean, air, and trucking legs ourselves, the customs paperwork is prepared against the actual shipment, and nothing falls between the cracks.

Filed in advance, released on arrival

The single biggest cause of import delay is late or inaccurate filing. We transmit your Importer Security Filing (ISF, or "10+2") to U.S. Customs and Border Protection at least 24 hours before your goods are laden at origin, and lodge AMS manifest data so the shipment is on record before it reaches a U.S. port. Where the mode allows, we pre-clear — so the container or airfreight moves the moment it's available.

Advance clearance means a fast release — no cargo sitting in a warehouse waiting on a form that should have been filed a week ago.

Classification and landed cost you can plan around

We classify your commodities under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, estimate duties and applicable tariffs up front, and give you landed-cost visibility before the entry is filed. If a ruling or a special program can lower your cost or speed your release, we'll raise it.
