Customs

With the current emphasis on free trade agreements and global sourcing, Customs issues have assumed an increasingly important role in the supply chain. Our global Customs services focus on the compliance, release, and reporting needs of the marketplace, which we refer to as the "Customs value stream."

Visionary

Supported by advanced technology, streamlined processes, and the best people in the industry, we continue to introduce new services and products, assisting clients in managing their global customs "value stream."

While many companies offer international customs services, Expeditors has a global vision of our clients' logistics and customs needs. Whether your needs are transaction clearance services or professional services, Expeditors and its subsidiary Tradewin, LLC can deliver.

Compliance Driven Processes

Our network operates under standardized processes which are continually validated, measured, analyzed and reviewed.

We strive for the most efficient processes, aligned with customer requirements, and using the best combination of human effort and intelligence, and advanced technology.

Our goal is that processes optimize the entire customs value stream. Compliance information is a key input to the release process, and we're focused on it flowing smoothly and accurately.

We emphasize minimizing the time involved in the release process, so our customer's overall supply chain processes are not obstructed. In a supply chain process, any "waiting" time is a waste, and we are focused on eliminating waste.

We're constantly driving greater accuracy and depth into the release process to enable the Analysis component of the customs value stream.

At Expeditors, we're taking the best of the best practices of many industries and applying them to our own processes, to drive continuous improvement, ever greater efficiency, and more intelligent use of people and technology.
