To help prevent and minimize the potential for theft of your cargo, keep a record of your shipping documentation on a bill of lading. In addition to providing a physical record of your shipment, a bill of lading also helps keep track of your carrier's duties. A bill of lading represents your rights and responsibilities in the way the goods are shipped and documented. It can be helpful to know what you need to do in order to get your shipments moving safely. The Import Permit for the Shipment You will need to obtain an import permit from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The import permit is a physical document that will help guide you through the process of moving your cargo. You must first provide your invoice number or a bill of lading number to CBP. A CBP import permit is available for purchase at any U.S. Customs office. Each one costs 1.15. You can order an electronic permit here or mail in an order form. If you do not have an invoice number or bill of lading number, you may need to use one from another shipper to help fill out the permit. This is an acceptable alternative.

A shipper or carrier should call or e-mail you directly to arrange for the shipment.
