CUSTOMS CLEARANCE: Clearance involves electronic submission of the 3461+7501 to CBP to pay for the import duty, fees, and the coordination with the local US freight company arrival and release of goods.
INBONDS (7512): The in-bond process facilitates the flow of trade by allowing importers as well as transportation and logistics partners to choose the port at which their cargo is entered for consumption into the commerce of the United States via immediate transportation (IT) entries.
