Portlogics

Customs, in one flow with forwarding

Hand customs to a separate broker and delays pile up at every handoff. We run transport and customs on one line, so documents, duties and settlement never stall between them.

Where customs commonly gets stuck

Clearance delays

Document mismatches and inspections delay clearance and push back the whole schedule.

Document errors

Mismatches between B/L, Invoice and Packing List keep recurring.

HS & duty uncertainty

Unclear HS classification and duty calculation make cost hard to predict.

Compliance burden

Keeping up with trade rules and certification requirements is hard to do piece by piece.

We don't split customs off from transport

Forwarding-linked customs

One team owns transport and customs together, so the delays that used to appear at each handoff are gone.

TOMS document automation

We auto-generate and validate your B/L, Invoice and Packing List, then clear Incoterms-based duties and settlement inside the system.

AEO-based compliance

We manage rules and certifications against AEO, the customs-authorized trust standard, which eases inspection selection and speeds clearance.
