As you know, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires detailed shipment information prior to your imports reaching the border. Certain information elements such as declared value and certain free trade agreement eligibility – can be a challenge to obtain prior to entry. That’s why CBP designed its Reconciliation program: so importers have a fallback position when shipment information is not available until a later date.

Under the Reconciliation program, approved importers can compliantly “correct” or reconcile missing or estimated information after their shipment has entered the United States.

Logicus has the customs reconciliation tools you need

Flexible, simple to use and entirely electronic, Livingston’s Reconciliation service allows you to effectively participate in and manage reconciliation – regardless if Logicus or another customs broker generated the import entry.

As a first step, Logicus will work with you to determine the right options for your reconciliation needs and help you define the data options for identifying your reconciliation shipments. You will receive a customized report to track any entries outstanding for reconciliation and alerts of upcoming final submission deadlines. As soon as we receive your reconciliation information, your final entries are filed with CBP.

It’s that simple.
