The evidence keep piling up for U.S. companies to move manufacturing back to the U.S., now that the economics behind "Made in the U.S.A." are different. If you're contemplating a move like this, make sure you have a carrier who can make the most of your new network with shorter shipping times and fewer damage claims than the rest of the pack. #Nearshoring #Onshoring #Manufacturing #Shipping

Are you familiar with transloading? One of our customers needed a more efficient way to move shipments out of Mexico, so we transloaded at our terminal in Laredo. This reduced shipping time and the potential for damage--and now, more than 20 years later, 50%+ of their shipments come this way.

IMPORTANT CARM UPDATE: After a vote yesterday in Ottawa, it has been confirmed that CBSA plans to go live with the next phase of CARM on October 21, 2024. The CARM Portal will go down while they transition to this next release. The Portal will be back on October 21st when the next release is live. Duties and taxes on shipments released after 4pm EST on Oct 4th will now be the responsibility of the importer. CBSA accounting will be down during this 2 week cutover, but they will begin processing their duty & taxes backlog October 21st and you will see these transactions show up on your CARM Portal in the days after they go live. With your portal setup, you will have 180 days of transition time to get your bond in place. However, importers will be responsible for their monthly payment of duties & taxes, through the CARM Portal, during this transition time. If you do not have your bond in place after the transition time then CBSA will no longer release your shipments. If you require a surety bond we are able to help you get setup. Please reach out to us regarding surety bonds and we will provide you with more information. We will be able to apply for them on your behalf beginning October 21. There will certainly be some confusion and a lot of learning as we transition with this next release. CBSA is still updating information. If you have any questions please reach out to CBSA at 1-800-461-9999 or contact us by email at customs@herculesfreight.com
