The Customs Examination Process
At World Trade Distribution each stage of the examination is monitored for security. You can be assured that with the combination of our equipment, knowledge, and experience your container will be re-stowed without damage to the cargo. If the configuration of the cargo cannot be placed in the original form after the examination, we have the capabilities to
provide re-blocking and bracing.
If an issue arises upon inspection, World Trade Distribution will work with you to efficiently resolve the violation and manage the rework in a specified time frame for project completion.
