Singapore’s APL Logistics announced it has acquired Carmichael International Service to enable it to provide U.S. Customs brokerage and trade compliance services in-house, the supply chain division of Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) said.
“Today, APL Logistics has the processes and systems in place to help customers comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s programs at origins,” said Tony Zasimovich, APL Logistics’ vice president of international logistics services.
“Add to that Carmichael’s Customs brokerage and trade consulting capabilities in the U.S., and we will be well-positioned to coordinate the flow of goods and information from the factory floor at an international origin to the store-door in the U.S.,” he added.
For nearly two decades, APL Logistics has worked closely with Los Angeles-based Carmichael International in fulfilling its customers’ U.S. Customs brokerage and trade compliance needs.
Founded in 1961, Carmichael International is an independent customs brokerage, trade compliance, and consulting specialist in the U.S. It operates in the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, New York/New Jersey, Chicago, San Francisco/Oakland, Seattle/Tacoma, Miami, Boston, Atlanta, Savannah, and Memphis.
