UPS Import Control®

Make International Trade Easier

Crossing borders requires coordination, compliance, and quite a bit of paperwork. If these pieces don't align as expected, you could be looking at customs delays.

Grab a tighter rein on the importing process--UPS Import Control lets you more effectively manage costs and minimise delays.

Our international shipping solution helps you:

• Control speed and budget needs when importing from suppliers worldwide
• Gain full visibility into your inbound supply chain for better planning and forecasting
• Prevent unauthorised charges incurred from distributing your account number to exporters
• Limit delays or excess duties and taxes when you control the creation and verification of commercial invoices
• Synchronise your supply chain by controlling imports from multiple suppliers

Create Your Own Shipping Labels and Commercial Invoices

When you generate your own shipping labels, you--not your vendors--select the carrier and decide which speed or service you want. This oversight gives you the chance to confirm the information is error-free.

The same goes for commercial invoices: you create and complete the form to ensure accuracy and customs compliance.

UPS Import Control also offers multiple options for delivering shipping labels and commercial invoices to your exporters:

• Have UPS mail or e-mail a shipping label
• Arrange for a UPS driver to provide a label and collect your package
• Print a label and forward to your shippers

Keep Confidential Information out of Third Party Shipments

Speed to market is important, and third party shipping is a useful option when you're looking to cut valuable time out of your process. But that third party doesn't need to see confidential, price-sensitive information--we can help.

When shipping with UPS Import Control, select the Commercial Invoice Removal (CIR) option, and we'll take the invoice out of your shipment after customs clearance. We'll then deliver the shipment without delay.
