Exporting to the United States
When exporting to the United States York University is the “importer of record” unless otherwise requested by the receiving party in the United States. York is required to prepare a commercial invoice and provide this to the exporting transportation carrier when the goods are picked up.
Tahoco Logistics Inc. (a Division of Thompson Ahern International) is York University’s custom broker for all shipment to the United States. There is a $12 brokerage fee per entry when shipping to the United States. Additional fees for other government agencies may apply for certain commodities.
