Bonded Trucking Benefits with Tigerhawk
A partner with expertise in this field can make a sea of difference by minimizing delays at customs and enabling deliveries without paying duties upfront. Bonded trucking refers to the transportation of freight over an international port of entry without clearing customs. Carriers who are licensed for such shipments pay applicable duties and fees once the cargo reaches its destination. In some cases, these payments are made only after the goods have been sold. Bonded carriers do this by taking on the responsibility of protecting the cargo and ensuring it complies with customs through the transportation and delivery process. For companies, that translates to optimal travel times and faster deliveries.
Let’s consider the benefits of bonded trucking in detail:
- Deferred Payments: Freedom from paying fees and duties on international shipments until they have reached their destination or are sold frees up capital for other uses.
- Expedited Entry: The special status of bonded carriers significantly expedites freight transfer across borders. This cuts down on travel times and ensures faster deliveries to happy customers.
- Shipment Security: Bonded carriers earn their licenses after rigorous checks and inspections. Anybody relying on their services can rest assured their goods will be transported safely and without incidents or delay.
- Simplified Paperwork: Passing a shipment through border control calls for extensive paperwork and compliance. These responsibilities are passed on to the bonded carrier while you enjoy a simplified shipping process.
