Customs Declarations

We make sure it's done the right way, right away.

If you've ever had to deal with the US government, you know it can be a time-consuming and detailed process. It requires extreme attention to detail and mistakes can be costly. Luckily, ShipAll works with every branch of US Customs and Border Protection to guarantee your compliance with all laws and regulations.

No matter what type of shipment you need, ShipAll will file your export declarations. We oversee thousands of shipments per year, and our expertise ensures your declarations are always handled in a timely manner. Every port has a different set of US Customs requirements, and we always keep up with changing regulations to save you time and money.

Our international network of logistics agencies can assist you with preparing documentation for the arrival of your cargo at its destination.

What are the qualifications of UniWorld International, Inc?

UniWorld is a licensed and bonded international freight forwarder. We are licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission, a United States Government agency. Uniworld International is also a licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC), which enables us to offer bulk shipping prices to all of our clients regardless of your shipping volume.

How long does international shipping take?

The transit time of an ocean shipment depends on the port of departure and the port of arrival. For example, shipping from the East Coast to Europe generally takes two weeks, whereas shipping from the West Coast to Europe takes four to five weeks. Vessel sailings are regularly scheduled and we can always provide you with the estimated dates of departure and arrival of our next vessels.

Do I need marine insurance for overseas shipments?

Optional marine insurance provides coverage against both loss and damages during ocean transit. Uniworld will obtain marine insurance coverage for your shipments upon request (additional charges apply). Due to the low cost of marine insurance, Uniworld recommends obtaining All Risk coverage.

Will there be other charges due at the destination port?

Apart from duties and taxes, there will be port handling charges upon arrival at the destination port. These charges cover terminal handling/off-loading and documentation fees for your vehicle. Uniworld can provide you with contact information for clearing agents at each destination to prepare you with this information ahead of time.

Will UniWorld deliver my cargo to me once it reaches its destination?

Upon arrival, every shipment is handled by an international shipping agent at its destination. Their services typically include local Customs clearance, local port charges, and import documentation. They also provide additional services at your request, including delivery of cargo to your final destination. UniWorld can provide you with the contact information of our international agent so you can determine the cost and procedure that would best fit your needs. Even before booking a shipment, we recommend contacting the international agent to ensure you are prepared for your shipment's arrival.
