Partnership Program
We have
developed a seven-step Integrated
Logistics Program as a way of
seamlessly adapting
our services to our customers'
operations. This seven-step approach
allows for lower customer overhead,
simplified accounting records, the
lowest possible rates and duties,
shorter transit times, and the
utmost control over every aspect of
each transaction:
Let NRI guide you through the
fascinating world of international
trade.
Step One: Placing the Order
Our
Integrated Logistics Services will
guide our customers through all
steps of the supply chain. We
guarantee excellent support,
security screening (we are C-TPAT
certified) and great service.
Through our network of international
agents, we help you save money and
time by guiding you to choose the
correct trade agreements in order to
secure the lowest possible duties
(INCOTERMS 2010), and the most
convenient way to freight-forward
your merchandise. Our representatives will assist the
importer in proper order filing,
determining delivery dates.
Step Two: Transportation
& Importer Security Filing
(ISF 10 + 2)
By
selecting the best Agent/Foreign
Freight Forwarder in order to assure the
fastest and safest cargo delivery, the designated Agent/Foreign Freight
Forwarder will be in charge of
coordinating pick-up, inland
transportation, consolidating cargo
(if required), preparing the
required documents for export/entry
and submitting them to our
associates. The information for
complying with ISF requirements will
be sent to us or to the designated
filer so that the details regarding
vessel shipments can be submitted to
Customs and Border Protection at
least 24 hours before lading.
Step Three:
Logistics & Document Filing
Once the export/entry documents are
received from the designated
Agent/Foreign Freight Forwarder, by
fax or e-mail, NRI will "pre-file"
the shipment at the local Customs
office. The original documents will
arrive by courier,
way before the actual shipment.
By "pre-filing" these documents
electronically through the U.S.
Customs Automated Broker Interface
(ABI), we can obtain "Release" before
arrival or within 24 hours of the
actual event.
Step Four: Follow up
Your order is tracked electronically
so that we can advice you of its arrival.
This will enable you to have a
constant up-date of your shipment.
Step Five: Inland
Delivery, Stripping and Warehousing
Upon the
arrival of the merchandise, we will
assist the importer by arranging the
best and most cost effective means
of Inland Transportation. With a
total of 1,163,424 cubic feet of
warehousing
space available
through our sister company ImEx Zone
Logistics and Joe Oquendo Bonded
Warehousing we can conduct shipment
stripping and offer temporary
warehousing, thus assuring shipment
integrity, controlling security and avoiding unnecessary
demurrage and storage charges. We
will also coordinate the obtaintion
of a
"Proof of Delivery" (POD), if
required.
Step Six:
Consolidated Invoicing
Our consolidated invoice includes
every service and disbursement
related to a particular shipment.
This allows for lower in-house
processing on behalf of the customer
and reduced audit costs.
Step Seven:
Free Transaction Follow-Up and
Auditing
NRI will analyze and
follow up on all U.S. Customs
requirements/correspondence (at no
extra cost) until
"Liquidation" is finalized. This process
could take up to four years from the
date of entry, according to U.S.
law. Every transaction is carefully
audited to assure the highest level
of accuracy and fairness for all
parties.
