CLEARANCEYour vehicle.Cleared.
ISF filing, EPA exemptions, DOT compliance, and duty drawback — handled cold. A JDM Skyline in Savannah in days, not weeks.
Three entry points.
Every clearance scenario.
Each service is a discrete module — file one or stack all three. Timelines are real, not estimates.
ISF Filing
Importer Security Filing
CBP-compliant 10+2 filing submitted 24 hours before vessel departure. We handle the bond, the manifest cross-check, and the AMS coordination so your container isn't flagged before it leaves the dock.
EPA / DOT Compliance
Exemption & Certification
FMVSS exemption letters, EPA Form 3520-1, and Show-or-Display determinations for vehicles 25+ years. Right-hand-drive imports, non-conforming vehicles, and grey-market units are our daily work.
Duty Drawback
19 U.S.C. § 1313
Recover up to 99% of duties paid on imported vehicles that are subsequently exported or destroyed. We identify eligible entries, file the claims, and track the refund through CBP's ACE portal.
Tariff codes,
no surprises.
Sample duty rates from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Actual rates depend on country of origin, valuation method, and applicable FTAs.
Rates shown are MFN (Most Favored Nation) general rates. USMCA, KORUS, and JFTA preferential rates may apply. HS classifications are subject to CBP binding ruling. Contact us for vehicle-specific determination.
Know your code. Know your cost.
Our intake form captures VIN, country of origin, port of entry, and intended use — then we return a binding estimate with HS classification, duty liability, and compliance checklist.
