Export forwarding or "freight forwarding" as commonly known has been a Meiko mainstay for many years. Meiko's forwarding staff has extensive experience in exporting activities. In addition to various formalities with the goods leaving the United States, each country has stringent and often obscure requirements ranging from Consular invoices (invoices certified or validated by a foreign country's representative here in the United States) to veterinary certificates certifying that certain animal or animal related products are free of disease. Without the proper documentation, your shipment may be delayed or even refused entry by foreign Customs officials.

Meiko forwarders can assist you in ensuring your shipments comply with often complex letter of credit and other banking requirements that are necessary to ensure prompt payment for your exports.

Do some of your exports consist of items that were previously imported? If so, Meiko may assist you in claiming a refund of the Customs duties paid on importation via Customs Duty Drawback procedures.
