US Customs Clearance

Importing into the United States? GCI Global handles your CBP entries through our licensed US partner — seamless coordination from the Canadian border to your American destination.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

US entries handled by GCI Global

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has its own rules, tariff schedules (HTS), and compliance requirements that differ significantly from Canada. Rather than managing two separate relationships, GCI Global coordinates your US entries through a licensed US customs broker partner — so you have a single point of contact for both sides of the border.

US clearance is performed by a licensed US customs broker (licensed by CBP) working in partnership with GCI Global. GCI Global acts as your single point of contact and coordinates all documentation and communication between the parties.

What we handle

US formal entries (CBP Form 7501)
Preparation and filing of formal customs entries with US Customs and Border Protection for commercial importations into the United States.
HTS classification
Determination of the correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes applicable to your goods under US rules — which differ from Canadian HS codes.
Antidumping & countervailing duties
Identification of antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders applicable to your products, and calculation of required deposits.
USMCA / Origin consulting
Analysis of origin eligibility under USMCA for preferential duty rates. Preparation and review of certification of origin documents.

Why go through GCI for your US entries?

One contact, two borders
You already work with us for your Canadian entries. We coordinate your US entries through the same relationship — no need to manage a separate American broker.
Coordinated logistics
When a shipment crosses both borders, we manage the full documentation chain: Canadian B3, US 7501, and ground freight — everything synchronized.
Licensed US partner
Our US partner holds a valid CBP customs broker license and is experienced with cross-border Canada-US trade. Strict compliance on both sides.

How it works

Simple process managed entirely by GCI Global:

1
You send your shipping documents to GCI Global (commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading)
2
We coordinate with our US partner for classification, valuation and CBP entry filing
3
Release obtained and confirmed — you receive a copy of the entry summary (CBP 7501)
