Personal Imports & TIBs

Clearance for household relocations and temporary exhibition materials.

International relocation or moving specialized equipment temporarily into the US for a trade show requires highly specific, meticulous documentation to avoid paying unnecessary tariffs. For these highly specific entry types, you need a Customs Broker who will guide you step-by-step through the requirements.

Personal Effects & Household Goods

Returning US residents, expatriates, and immigrants bringing their entire lives across the border rely on us to execute the CBP Form 3299 (Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles). We verify your eligibility for duty-free entry, coordinate with your moving company or freight forwarder, and ensure your container is released without triggering an extended CBP hold.

Temporary Import Bonds (TIB)

If you are bringing commercial samples, trade show booths, or specialized testing equipment into the United States strictly for a temporary timeframe, you should not be paying standard consumption tariffs.

"We handle personal imports and temporary import bonds for exhibitions. Do not pay tariffs on goods that are leaving the country."
