What We File

Six Filing Disciplines, Zero Guesswork

Customs is a paperwork discipline — every filing below is prepared, lodged and archived by the same licensed team.

US Export Clearance

EEI filings and export documentation prepared and filed from Elizabeth for every ocean and air departure.

EU Import Clearance

Entries lodged under our EU EORI at Rotterdam and Hamburg — duties and VAT computed before your cargo docks.

HS Classification

Every line item coded to the right HS heading, so your goods clear on documents, not on inspection luck.

Bonded Transit

Cargo moves under bond between ports and warehouses while duties are settled — no duty paid twice, no cargo stuck.

ISF & Security Filings

Importer Security Filings lodged on time, every time — the 24-hour rule never catches your container.

Duty & VAT Optimization

Correct valuation, origin and preference claims applied where they legitimately save you money.

The 24-Hour Rule, Handled

ISF filings are lodged on schedule, every schedule — your container never sails into a customs penalty.

Paper You Can Audit

Every entry, code and duty line is archived and shared with you — customs you can verify, not just pay for.

Straight Answers

Customs Brokerage FAQ

If you import commercially into the EU, someone must lodge the entry and hold the EORI number — that is the law, not an upsell. With Colivelo your goods clear under our EU EORI at Rotterdam or Hamburg, duties and VAT are calculated before arrival, and you deal with one accountable team instead of a broker you have never met.

US Customs requires your container's Importer Security Filing to be lodged at least 24 hours before the vessel loads. Miss it and your container can be refused, delayed or fined. Colivelo files ISF data on every ocean booking as a standard step, so the rule is met before you have even thought about it.

Yes. Bonded transit keeps your goods moving under customs bond between ports, terminals and warehouses while duties and VAT are computed and paid — no double payments, no dockside limbo. When the entry is settled, your cargo releases straight into delivery with the same 9-scan GPS timeline it has carried since pickup.
