Modernizing International Trade

Simplify Customs Clearance with the Industry’s First Membership Program: CargoClear®

Las Vegas (ASD Market Week 2018) – Mercantile Logistics & International Trade today introduced CargoClear®, the first and only membership-based customs clearance program to give small and midsize companies the import-and-export advantages of larger competitors.

“Our experienced brokers have spent decades moving cargo to and from dozens of different countries,” explained Kim Daniels, president, Mercantile Logistics, a woman and veteran-owned business. “We have worked diligently to provide customers the best options in freight and customs processing, but we recognized that industry standards were stacked against small and midsize players. So we evened the playing field for them by creating CargoClear.”

Mercantile Logistics developed the CargoClear program by bundling the most common and important customs services for one low monthly rate. Clients also receive monthly consulting time from Mercantile Logistics’ dedicated team of brokers as part of each CargoClear membership program.

With three program options to fit the needs of importers and exporters processing 15 to 700 entries or exports per month, CargoClear gives small-to-midsize companies the financial flexibility to scale economically.

With just one low monthly rate, CargoClear covers the following services:

ISF filing                                  Lacey Act                             ACE Filing

Customs Entry                         USDA                                   All Government Agencies

FDA Filing/Prior Notice           Foreign Importer Setup       Online Portal Tracking 

                

“Our business success is tied to our trucking and shipping transportation needs and service,” said Rocky Luiere, president, P&L Sales Group. “We import via air and sea, and ship our products domestically and internationally. Before retaining Mercantile Logistics, we used other major carriers/brokers and were spending valuable time regarding billing errors, clearance and trying to obtain expected arrival dates of our shipments as there was no one person to contact.”

P&L Sales Group was one of the first CargoClear members.

“Now that we have contracted with Mercantile Logistics, I know who to call directly,” he continued. “Thanks to the support and service we receive from Mercantile Logistics, we can increase our volume without increasing our processing costs. No muss, no fuss!”

Mercantile Logistics will be accepting new clients into the CargoClear® monthly membership program during ASD Market Week 2018.
