Do I need a licensed customs broker to import into the United States?

Most commercial US imports clear through a licensed customs broker who files the CBP entry, transmits ISF (Importer Security Filing / 10+2) before loading, and manages duties, HTS classification, and any PGA (FDA, USDA) requirements. Many freight forwarders on CargoLinked offer US customs brokerage as part of a door-to-door service.

Which US ports and airports do forwarders ship through?

The busiest ocean gateways are Los Angeles and Long Beach for transpacific trade, followed by New York/New Jersey, Savannah, and Houston. Primary air-cargo hubs are Chicago O’Hare (ORD), New York JFK, Los Angeles (LAX), and Miami (MIA) for Latin America. Filter the directory by service and mode to match a provider to your lane.

How do I get freight quotes from US forwarders?

Post a freight request with your origin, destination, cargo weight and dimensions, and timeline. Verified US forwarders matching your route and commodity submit competitive quotes directly to your account — no cold-calling.
