Customs officer reviewing shipping documents beside red containers at a port

Licensed brokers who clear your cargo the first time it is presented.

United Overnight Express files entries through our own licensed customs brokers rather than a third-party agent, so classification, valuation and admissibility questions are resolved before a container reaches the terminal. We hold national permits, file electronically through ACE and equivalent single-window systems abroad, and reconcile every entry against the commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading so duty is paid once and paid correctly.

Fast & Compliant

Paperless entry filing with pre-clearance before arrival, ISF/AES and 24-hour manifest rules handled on schedule, and same-day release on the majority of straightforward entries. Exam and hold notices are worked directly with the port so freight keeps moving.

Audit Ready

Every entry, invoice and ruling is archived for the statutory five-year record period with searchable duty and classification history — the documentation you need for a focused assessment, prior disclosure or internal trade audit.

Special Services

  • Classification and valuation

    HS/HTS classification with written rationale, binding-ruling requests where treatment is uncertain, and first-sale, assist and royalty analysis so declared value withstands review.

  • Duty savings programs

    Free-trade agreement qualification and solicitation of supplier certificates, duty drawback on re-exported goods, bonded and foreign-trade-zone admissions, and temporary importation under bond.

  • Partner government agencies

    FDA, USDA/APHIS, FCC, EPA, DOT and equivalent filings for food, medical devices, radios, chemicals and vehicles — coordinated with the entry rather than filed after the fact.

Special Solutions

Compliance is designed into the program before the first shipment ships. We build a product database, agree the tariff treatment with your trade team and publish document requirements to every supplier.

  • Continuous customs bonds sized to your annual duty and fee exposure.
  • Landed-cost estimates by SKU including duty, MPF/HMF, brokerage and drayage.
  • Post-entry amendments, protests and refund claims filed on your behalf.
  • Denied-party and sanctions screening on every consignee and supplier.
