U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is conducting more container inspections at U.S. ports of entry and issuing a record number of CF28 and CF29 requests to importers. Globally, Customs authorities are placing greater scrutiny on correct HTS code classification.

“Our DNA is logistics,” said Jim Berlin, Founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “As we have grown, today we have ten million feet of warehousing in North America and more globally, we do software development, we transport everything from pallets to rockets around the world. We say yes to any supply chain challenge, opening up new opportunities for our people and customers.”
