Avoid Customs Delays When with Express Couriers
Shipping your freight through express couriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS comes with many advantages. It's fast, convenient, and sometimes even cost-effective. However, when it comes to customs clearance, things can get tricky.
If your package gets held up at customs, you may find it difficult to reach someone who can provide clear answers. This challenge becomes even more complicated if your shipment includes products regulated by other government agencies such as the FDA or USDA. Express couriers may not always be able to offer the assistance you need in these situations.
