In global logistics, the goal is simple: move freight fast and keep it legal. But hitting both targets at once? That’s where Centralized Examination Stations (CES) come in.
At Global CFS, we understand that international trade doesn’t pause for paperwork—and Customs can’t relax compliance just to speed up transit. CES facilities bridge that gap. They’re where inspections happen without disrupting the rhythm of your supply chain.
Compliance, Without the Gridlock
When U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) flags a shipment for inspection, it’s moved to a CES facility. Here, trained professionals open, inspect, and document the cargo. The goal? Ensure proper classification, screen for security issues, and verify that everything meets U.S. trade regulations.
By centralizing this process, CES sites reduce the pressure on congested ports and airports. It also keeps Customs accountable for security and keeps importers moving.
“Compliance without efficiency is just bureaucracy. Efficiency without compliance is just luck.” – President Steve Panzarella, Global CFS.
More Than Just Inspection
Global CFS goes further. We combine our CES function with integrated cargo solutions, including planeside recovery, bonded handling, segregation, and full truckload (FTL) delivery. This ensures that your cargo doesn’t just get examined but moves faster once cleared.
That means fewer handoffs, tighter transit times, and greater visibility. And in today’s environment of trade volatility and import pressure, it’s not just about checking the boxes—it’s about controlling the process.
In short, a well-run CES facility protects your timeline and doesn’t slow your freight down.
If your shipments are under review, trust a CES partner that knows how to handle it all—from Customs clearance to final mile.
Global CFS keeps compliance tight and your cargo on schedule.
