Traditional Brokerage | AJH ELITE INC |
---|---|
Customs clearance status is a black hole, with zero visibility | All shipments, regardless of the freight provider, are visible in one location. |
You send an email to your broker with docs and from that moment until they send you a 7501, you have no idea what’s happening with the entry. | AJH Elite Inc provides you pure visibility into the status of the clearance, starting with letting you know when the entry will be filled according to our level commitment and giving you detailed milestones along the way. In short, you have more visibility into customs status than if you had an in-house brokerage team. |
You get confusing invoices that change from entry to entry | Transparent and easy to understand billing. |
Variable entry fees depending on line count, invoices, BLs, and PGAs (like FDA). ISF fees, RLF fees, document handling fees and other fees. | We have one flat fee that encapsulates all of those services that you clearly understand from day one. |
On-boarding a new importer is painful and slow | AJH Elite Inc POA process is simple, fast, customs, and compliant |
Request for additional information are the norm, adding a new importer to get a single entry filled takes days and costs valuable time. | We streamine this process and our team takes on the burden of officer verification unless we trule can’t find it, we don’t burdent you. |
Docs are managed by email and scattered file (paper and paper) | Simple, easy and well organized doc turnover and retrieval |
Consolidated containers with multiple sets of invoice and packing list result in multiple emails, confusion. BLs, arrival notices, 7501s, 3461s, all scattered in the either of the internets and files. | All docs are stored together, securely, and in the cloud for stakeholders to whom you grant access, 24/7, from anywhere at anytime. We bundle them in one doc set for download all together in a few short seconds. |
Zero visibility into classifications, tariff rates, PGA, and section 301/Trump Tariffs | Pure and simple visibility into an ever growing product library |
When a new section 301 list emerges, your broker takes weeks to identify how you and your and clients will be impacted. You have no visibility into what HTS numbers are subjected to FDA and other PGAs, and no method of tracking and cataloging classifications. | Two clicks and a sort and you can every bit of information in a clean and digestible format for you and your client’s consumption. Classifications documented and conduction by trained brokers, and product libraries that can be imported, and exported easily. |
