Customs Brokerage Service
Customs Brokerage is one of the most important elements needed to successfully offer complete end-to-end logistics management services. Combined with International Logistics and the ability to do destination distribution and warehousing, Customs Brokerage services are fundamental to giving our customers the ability to use OOCL Logistics as a “One-Stop-Shop” without a mid-shipment interruption in service provider.

In North America, OOCL Logistics can currently handle Customs clearances for clients through established partnerships with licensed customs brokers in Chicago, Atlanta, New York, on the U.S. West Coast and in Canada. In Europe we have in-house Customs clearance teams in the UK, Germany and Benelux and all other countries are covered through established partnerships.

Combining our own Customs clearance capabilities and partnership Customs services with carrier door pickup/delivery service allows OOCL Logistics' customers complete cost accounting to bill of lading delivery destination and, if this is final DC for dry goods or cold storage for reefer, single invoicing can be accomplished.

By reducing the number of non-partnered parties involved in the shipment transaction, document coordination can be optimized, insuring a complete set of documents for entry, reducing costly delays. Timing of entry can be coordinated with arrival of goods to minimize any delays or demurrage.
