Which agencies may be involved
Partner government agencies, often called PGAs, review imports in their area. The FDA covers food, supplements, cosmetics, drugs, and medical devices. USDA APHIS covers plants, wood packaging, and many agricultural products. The EPA, the CPSC, the FCC, and the Department of Transportation each have rules for specific goods.
How we keep regulated goods moving
Most agency holds come from data that was missing or did not match: a facility registration, a prior notice, a product code, or a certificate. We ask for these while the goods are still at the factory and attach them at filing.
- FDA prior notice for food shipments
- Facility registration and product code checks
- FSVP guidance for food importers
- USDA and wood-packaging requirements
- CPSC certificates for children’s products and consumer goods
Built for businesses that import on a schedule
We work with brands, Amazon sellers, e-commerce and online store owners, wholesalers, retailers, and manufacturers that bring in shipments regularly, most often from China. Any product category works, as long as it is physical commercial goods. That is where our door-to-door service pays off: we plan the freight, clear customs, and deliver, shipment after shipment.
