Start with the shipment’s customs status

An in-bond move is different from a routine domestic delivery. Share the origin, authorized destination, commodity and intended next step with our operations team. Your customs broker and the relevant carrier confirm the required procedures and documentation for the shipment.

Coordinate the carrier and authorized location

We help bring transportation and warehouse participants into the same plan, including eligible port-to-port and transit-to-export requirements. Carrier eligibility, facility authorization and cargo suitability are confirmed for the specific movement.

Plan release, arrival and the next handoff

Timing and responsibilities should be established before pickup. Iron Rock coordinates the operational plan with your customs broker and service partners so the next party knows what information and release instructions are needed. Contact operations to discuss the proposed lane before scheduling.

Regional relationships. Broader connections.

Iron Rock Holdings LLC is an independent, Kirkland-based company and a business partner of SEI Acquisition, LLC, a MEDLOG division. Services and capacity are confirmed for each shipment through the relevant partners.

A FEW PRACTICAL ANSWERS

Planning your next move

Is Iron Rock claiming to be a customs broker or bonded carrier?

This service is coordination through bonded carrier partners and your customs broker. The actual carrier’s authorization and shipment requirements are confirmed for the move.

Does CTPAT certification replace a customs bond?

No. CTPAT is a separate voluntary supply chain security program. Customs bonding and the authorization for an in-bond shipment must be addressed separately.
