Port Houston ยท Barbours Cut & Bayport

Port Houston customs broker for imports from China

Clearance, drayage, and delivery for containers moving through Port Houston's Barbours Cut and Bayport terminals, planned from the factory in China to your dock.

Houston as your import gateway

Port Houston is the largest container port on the Gulf Coast. Its two container terminals, Barbours Cut near Morgan's Point and Bayport near Pasadena and Seabrook, sit along the Houston Ship Channel close to the region's warehouse and distribution parks.

Cargo from China reaches Houston either all-water through the Panama Canal or by landing on the West Coast and moving inland by rail. We price both and pick the one that fits your deadline.

What we handle at the port

  • ISF and entry filed before the vessel arrives
  • Drayage from Barbours Cut or Bayport to your warehouse
  • Terminal appointments and free-time tracking
  • LCL deconsolidation and delivery of your share of a shared container
  • Bonded storage when you want to defer duty
  • Delivery to Amazon and retail distribution centers in Texas

How it works

  1. Book at origin. We book FCL or LCL space from the Chinese port and consolidate if you have several suppliers.
  2. Pre-clear. ISF before loading, entry while the vessel is on the water.
  3. Terminal pickup. We pull the container once it is released and available.
  4. Deliver and return. Delivery to your dock, then the empty goes back before per diem builds.

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.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Should my China cargo come all-water to Houston or through the West Coast?

All-water through the Panama Canal is often cheaper per container and lands close to your warehouse. Landing in Los Angeles or Long Beach and moving by rail can be faster. We price both and pick the one that fits your deadline.

Which terminal will my container use?

That depends on the ocean carrier and service. Barbours Cut and Bayport both handle Asia services, and we plan the drayage around the terminal your carrier calls.
