Customs brokerage FAQs

Everything you need to know about clearing cargo with NEXUS.

What does a customs broker do?

A licensed customs broker prepares and files import/export documentation on your behalf, ensures compliance with customs regulations, calculates and pays duties and taxes, and coordinates cargo release with customs authorities.

How fast can you clear my shipment?

For most markets, we clear shipments in 2โ€“6 hours once complete documentation is received. Complex filings (e.g., FDA, dual-use, or multi-country) may take longer. Pre-clearance and bonded programs can accelerate this further.

Can you legally reduce my duties?

Yes โ€” through duty drawback, free trade agreement preferences, tariff engineering, and bonded/FTZ programs. We review every shipment for lawful optimization opportunities. Get a duty review โ†’

Do you handle both import and export clearance?

Yes โ€” our licensed brokers handle both import and export clearance, including export declarations, licenses, certificates of origin, and dangerous goods permits.

What is a bonded warehouse, and do you offer it?

A bonded warehouse allows you to store imported goods while deferring duties and taxes until goods leave the warehouse or enter the domestic market. We operate bonded and FTZ facilities in key markets. Explore warehousing โ†’

Do you offer ATA carnets for temporary imports?

Yes โ€” we issue ATA carnets for exhibitions, samples, and professional equipment, plus temporary import bonds and re-export documentation for markets where carnets aren't recognized.
