Hassle-Free Customs Clearance and Importing in the United States: An Experienced Freight Forwarder Makes the Difference in the American Market

For a fast and trouble-free import process in America, specific skills are required, namely an expert freight forwarder in the American market. In 2023, the competitive edge of an international freight forwarder isn't just about physically moving goods. This might have been an issue in the early 20th century when roads were still dirt, engines broke down, ships sank, weather forecasts were what they were, and so on.

In the 21st century, the competitive advantage of a freight forwarder is the ability to provide guidance to ensure that imports to the USA proceed smoothly and products aren't held up by U.S. customs. In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, a good freight forwarder, especially for the United States, is one well-versed in U.S. customs regulations and thus able to offer advice on shipment compliance to avoid issues with U.S. customs.

This is the case with UBV, the international freight forwarder specializing in the American market, partner of ExportUSA for all shipments from Italy to the USA, both by sea and by air. Specifically, UBV handled customs clearance and importation into the USA of the materials needed to conduct a series of scientific experiments on a space flight by Virgin Atlantic. The experiments were conducted by members of the Italian Air Force. The project's sensitivity required the utmost attention to all shipping details, and UBV, with its experience, ensured a flawless shipment.
