Transport routier sans stress: Comment les transporteurs sous douane améliorent le transport transfrontalier

7 février 2025

 

When it comes to moving goods across borders, many businesses face a maze of challenges. Customs paperwork, regulatory compliance, unexpected delays, and rising costs are just a few of the hurdles that can make cross-border freight a logistical nightmare. Without the right partner, these challenges can escalate quickly. Your shipments can be delayed at customs, disrupting supply chains. In some cases, goods can even be returned, costing you time, money, and credibility.

So how do you avoid these headaches and ensure smooth, efficient cross-border shipping? The answer lies in working with a bonded carrier. In this article, we’ll explore what bonded carriers are, how they simplify cross-border freight, and why they’re essential to the bonded shipping process. 

We’ll also highlight how Perlitch Transport stands out as a trusted bonded freight carrier ready to take on your transportation challenges.


The challenges of cross-border freight

Cross-border trucking involves more than just moving goods from point A to point B. It’s a process filled with compliance requirements, customs checks and complex regulations that vary from country to country.

For example, companies shipping between the United States and Canada must comply with different rules regarding documentation, duties, and taxes. Any mistakes made during this process can result in fines, delays, and, in the worst case, legal issues.

Additionally, your business may face challenges such as

  • complex customs declarations
  • unexpected delays at border crossings
  • incomplete or inaccurate documents
  • high transportation costs.

This is why working with a bonded carrier is not only beneficial, it is often essential for you.


What is a bonded carrier?

A bonded carrier is a transportation company that is approved by customs agencies such as the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) to transport food inland from the border without having to clear customs first.

This bond guarantees that the carrier will comply with all customs regulations and ensure that duties and taxes are paid in a timely manner. When companies ship freight in bond, the goods remain under customs control while in transit. This is especially useful for cross-border freight , where goods may pass through multiple checkpoints before reaching their final destination.

For example, if you are shipping goods from Canada to the United States, using a bonded carrier allows your goods to cross the border without being held for immediate customs clearance.  Your shipment remains “in bond” until it arrives at a bonded warehouse or its final destination, where it can be cleared and delivered.

Let’s see how it works and what are the advantages of working with Perlitch Transport as a bonded carrier.
