Pre-Shipment Project Review & Support

    Most new US Export requests are very straightforward
    and can often be answered in under 3 business days
    without need for complex arrangements.

    Some projects are more complex,
    such as US imports, 3rd country to 3rd country movements, preparing Export/Import clearances. It is often a time consuming process.

    Our Customer Service Support Team
    is only available to help Sefco customers.

    If you have not yet booked a shipment with us...
    Consider becoming a retained Sefco customer,
    eligible for our Ex-Im Customs Support Services.


For New International Shippers

After you let us know about the proposed Export-Import Shipment , including:   complete details - (precise origin city-state-country/destination, description, when ready, contact info, any special considerations or conditions, etc), we will respond with an acknowledgement and indication of what is achievable, where service is available, etc.

Please realize that most ocean carrier rates are valid up to 30 days only. There are many factors that cause rates to change including fuel prices, natural disasters, conflict between nations, supply and demand. After our initial consultation and general feedback/advice, where further servicing is needed (Ex-Im Support Services) a retainer is required to take things a step further. We will open an active file for your project, as a retained account.

Prepaid Retained Accounts can receive customized research/ex-im support services. A retainer allows us to continue further (beyond initial indications). This includes in-depth research, logistical analysis, ongoing investigation and reporting of sailings/routes/transit times, service options, local services on both ends of the voyage, CHB customs broker referrals, confirmation/calculation of any changes to applicable transport rates/related costs, for the proposed cargo being shipped (including future estimations, post 30 days).

This allows for a well informed carrier selection, optimal routing and smooth operational execution.

Advance planning is critical to international logistics.

Upon receipt of your Sefco Export service retainer,
we will dedicate resources, time & effort to work on your behalf.

This initial retainer can come off the cost of shipping
with Sefco within one year of payment.
