Customs Tips for Dispatchers Handling Cross-Border Freight

Description

Customs clearance is an important step in cross-border and international shipping. Whether you’re moving freight from the U.S. to Canada or bringing goods in from Mexico, getting through customs quickly helps avoid delays and extra costs.

Dispatchers help make sure drivers have all the right paperwork, like commercial invoices, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and customs forms. Missing any of these can slow things down at the border.

At Cargo Dispatch, we help carriers and shippers get everything ready for smooth customs clearance. We work with brokers, check product codes (HS codes), and plan for inspection times.

It’s also important to know about import taxes, duties, and any special rules — like for farm products, which may need extra checks. Our team takes care of all the details so nothing is missed during your trip.
