Frequently Asked Questions — Freight Forwarding in Miami
What services does Suaid Global offer in Miami?
We provide end-to-end logistics from Miami including ocean freight (FCL/LCL) through PortMiami and Port Everglades, air freight via Miami International Airport, licensed customs brokerage, bonded and non-bonded warehousing, ground transportation and drayage, and supply chain advisory. We handle imports, exports, and cross-trade shipments.
How long does customs clearance take at PortMiami?
For standard shipments with proper documentation, we typically achieve customs clearance within 24 hours at PortMiami. Complex entries involving FDA, USDA, or other government agency review may take 2-5 business days. Pre-filing ISF and entry documentation before vessel arrival significantly speeds up the process.
What are the advantages of shipping through Miami vs. other US ports?
Miami offers the shortest ocean transit times to Latin America and the Caribbean, direct air connections to virtually every major city in the hemisphere, FTZ #32 for duty deferral and inverted tariff benefits, the largest concentration of customs brokers and freight forwarders in the Southeast, and a bilingual workforce that streamlines communication with Spanish and Portuguese-speaking trade partners.
Do you handle perishable and temperature-controlled cargo in Miami?
Yes. Miami International Airport is the #1 US gateway for perishable imports including fresh flowers, tropical fruits, seafood, and pharmaceuticals. We coordinate USDA/APHIS inspections, manage reefer containers, arrange cold storage at bonded facilities, and provide temperature-monitored delivery to final destinations across Florida and the US.
Can you help with imports from Latin America to Miami?
Absolutely. Over 80% of US trade with Latin America passes through Miami, and this is our core specialty. We handle imports from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and every other Latin American country — managing customs clearance, duty calculation, free trade agreement benefits (USMCA, CAFTA-DR, US-Colombia TPA), and last-mile delivery.
What is a Foreign-Trade Zone and how can it benefit my business in Miami?
Foreign-Trade Zone #32 at PortMiami allows imported goods to be stored, assembled, manufactured, or re-exported without paying US customs duties. Benefits include duty deferral (pay duties only when goods enter US commerce), inverted tariff savings (pay the lower duty rate on finished goods vs. components), and duty elimination on re-exports. This is especially valuable for companies that import components for assembly or re-export to Latin America.
