Sample Shipments
Sample shipments being sent from overseas direct to US buyers are subject to the same US customs clearance processes as regular commercial shipments. This includes packages sent via express carriers such as DHL, TNT and Federal Express. When questions arise about documentation, the freight company’s brokerage department will contact the US recipient. Calls to buyers from customs brokers can have a negative impact on future sales.
For seamless delivery of samples to US buyers, ATC’s Sample Shipping services helps to ensure that buyers are not contacted by freight companies and samples are delivered promptly and efficiently. Brokerage department questions are answered by ATC. Samples are dispatched from ATC’s warehouse to the US buyer within 24 hours from receipt. Sending multiple sample shipments via ATC also saves on cost, consolidated shipments reduce international freight fees.
