Logistics Plus helps its customers in the following ways:
- We learn about your product and its function so that we know it’s classified properly.
- We can advise you in filing bindings rulings, if necessary, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for an added assurance that your classification is correct.
- We can look at your bills of materials to determine the correct country of origin.
- We can investigate if you qualify for first sale pricing to lower your declarable value.
- We work with several law firms that can file exclusion petitions on your behalf if you qualify for exclusion from the new tariffs.
- We match your imports against the Miscellaneous Tariff Act of 2018 to determine if your goods qualify for reduced or duty-free status.
By using the information above, Logistics Plus will be able to assist you in making better informed sourcing decisions. While other brokers may be larger, they cannot match the personal attention to detail that Logistics Plus Customs Broker Solutions offers. Our consulting services are available to any Logistics Plus shipping customer. Becoming a customer of Logistics Plus means that you gain immediate access to the peace-of-mind that comes from working with our compliance specialists. If you are not a Logistics Plus customer, you can also purchase our customs broker solutions as a stand-alone consulting service. Either way, we’re here to help!
Our team of customs brokers and global trade compliance experts will guide you through every complex step of the customs process. You can also email us at cbs@logisticsplus.com.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Logistics Plus Expands Services on the Amazon Solutions Provider Network
Customs Brokerage, FBA Prep and Storage, and Storage services now readily available to Amazon Sellers
ERIE, PA (February 5, 2018) – Logistics Plus Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, warehousing, fulfillment, and supply chain solutions, is pleased to announce that it has an expanded set of service offerings within the Amazon Solutions Provider Network (SPN). Amazon global sellers will now have ready access to customs brokerage, FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) preparation and storage, and additional short- or long-term storage solutions.
Logistics Plus was one of the very first third-party logistics companies to be a solutions provider within the Amazon SPN when it began offering FBA and self-fulfilled international shipping services back in June of 2016. Although the Amazon SPN has expanded to include additional providers, Logistics Plus remains an important business partner for Amazon sellers looking to source goods, manage inventory, and market products across Amazon marketplaces around the world. Earlier this year, Logistics Plus was named a Top 3PL Provider by Multichannel Merchant, a key resource within the e-commerce industry.
“We have been providing a full array of global logistics services to a growing list of Amazon sellers, retailers, and merchants for the past several years,” said Scott Frederick, vice president of marketing for Logistics Plus. “Effective management of e-commerce logistics will be increasingly important over the coming years, and so having a broader scope of our services readily available on Amazon’s SPN site is a good thing for both us and retailers needing these types of solutions.”
