Frequently Asked Questions
What is CBP-supervised destruction?
Destruction carried out at a CBP-bonded facility with a Customs officer witnessing it, or under an approved supervision arrangement. It satisfies CBP that the merchandise never entered US commerce. The witnessed destruction is what releases the shipment and its duty liability.
How long does container destruction take?
Most containers are quoted the same day and moved within a few business days of CBP approval. Destruction itself is usually a single day once the container reaches the facility. Timing depends on port congestion and how fast the CBP paperwork clears.
What documents do you need to quote?
Send the bill of lading, container number and size, the port or terminal, and a description of the commodity. If there is a CBP, FDA or USDA notice, include it. That is normally enough for a firm quote.
Do you handle CBP Form 3499?
Yes. We prepare and file the application for destruction and coordinate the supervision request with the port. You review and sign, we handle the back and forth with CBP.
Can you destroy cargo that's already in General Order?
Yes. GO cargo is one of the most common shipments we handle. We arrange the in-bond move from the GO warehouse to a bonded destruction facility and stop the storage clock.
What does it cost per container?
Depends on port, container size and commodity. Send details and we’ll quote the same day.
Can refused FDA/USDA shipments be destroyed instead of re-exported?
In most cases yes, and destruction is often cheaper and faster than re-export. The agency notice sets the deadline and the allowed options. We work to that notice and document the outcome.
Do we get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, on every job. You receive the Certificate of Destruction along with the supporting closeout documents for your file and your client’s. Weight tickets and photos are available on request.
Which ports do you cover?
Every major US seaport, plus airports, CFS and bonded warehouse locations and the main land border crossings. See the Port Coverage section above for the full list. If your port is not listed, call us, we still cover it.
