BGL is new, and we won't pretend otherwise. There are no inflated numbers or borrowed reviews on this site. What you get is real attention on every shipment, from the first quote until your freight is delivered.

First-time importer guide
Freight, in plain words.
The terms you'll hear on your first shipment, and what they actually mean.
- FCL and LCL
- FCL means your goods fill a whole container. LCL means they share a container with other shippers, and you pay for the space you use.
- Incoterms
- Standard trade terms, like FOB or EXW, that say who pays for each leg of the trip and when responsibility moves from seller to buyer.
- Customs broker
- A licensed professional who files your import entry with U.S. Customs. BGL coordinates this for you with a licensed broker.
- Customs bond
- A guarantee to U.S. Customs that duties and fees will be paid. Most commercial imports need one, and a customs broker can arrange it.
- ISF filing
- A security filing required for ocean imports into the U.S. It's due at least 24 hours before your cargo is loaded at the origin port.
- Bill of lading
- The carrier's receipt and contract for your freight. It shows what was shipped, from where, and to whom.
- Landed cost
- Everything together: the goods, freight, duties, taxes, fees and final delivery. It's the number that tells you what the product really cost.
- Demurrage and detention
- Daily charges when a container sits too long at the port or stays out too long after pickup. Planning pickup early helps you avoid them.
Before your first import
Five things to have ready
- Your supplier's commercial invoice and packing list
- The Incoterm on your purchase order, like FOB or EXW
- Your product's HTS code, or ask us and we'll find it with a licensed customs broker
- A decision on cargo insurance
- Your cargo ready date and delivery address

Total volume0 m³0 ft³
Total weight0 lbs0 kg
Estimates assume pieces stack and fill space well, using planning capacities of about 28 m³ for a 20ft, 58 m³ for a 40ft and 68 m³ for a high cube. Real fit depends on stacking, pallets and weight spread, and we confirm it in your quote.

- Freight and insurance$0
- Duties and tariffs$0
- Fees and delivery$0
Planning worksheet only. Duties are usually charged on the customs value of your goods. The merchandise processing fee is 0.3464% of value, but for the fiscal year running to September 30, 2026 it is never less than $33.58 and never more than $651.50 per entry, and both figures are reset for inflation every year (CBP user fee notice). From October 1, 2026 they become $34.58 and $670.86. The harbor maintenance fee of 0.125% is ocean only. Your exact rate depends on the HTS code and country of origin, confirmed by a licensed customs broker.

Simplified view of Incoterms 2020 for a typical ocean shipment. Only CIF and CIP require the seller to buy insurance; under D terms the seller carries the transit risk. Your sales contract decides the details, and we can walk through yours.

Dates are approximate, and some move with the lunar calendar or official announcements. Suggested booking dates are general guidance; we confirm real cutoffs for your lane.
Actual weight0 lbs0 kg
Total volume0 ft³0 m³
Air freight
- Volumetric weight0 kgIATA divisor of 6,000 cm³ per kg, the same as 166 cubic inches per lb.
- Chargeable weight0 kg
Express and courier services usually divide by 5,000 cm³ per kg instead, which makes the volumetric weight higher on the same box. FedEx publishes its rule at fedex.com. Check the divisor your carrier publishes before you compare prices.
Truck freight, LTL
- Density0 lbs/ft³
- Estimated freight classAdd sizes
Planning estimates, not a quote and not a classification. Air freight follows the IATA rule: each measurement is rounded to the nearest whole unit, then the weight is rounded up. LTL density uses your sizes as entered, because the two systems work differently and should not be mixed. The class band comes from the 13 band density scale that took effect on July 19, 2025 (NMFTA Disposition Bulletin 1371). The NMFC item for your commodity governs the real class, density is only one of four factors, and carriers can reweigh and reclassify after pickup.

The ten importer details
The filing is due no later than 24 hours before the cargo is loaded at the foreign port (19 CFR 149.2), and the ten details are listed in 19 CFR 149.3. Two of them, the container stuffing location and the consolidator, are due no later than 24 hours before the ship arrives in the United States. A late or wrong filing exposes the importer to liquidated damages of $5,000 for each violation under 19 CFR 113.62(j). Rules as of September 2026, check the current text before you rely on them.
Example total$0
Days over free time0
Demurrage is the terminal clock. Detention is the box clock, and per diem is a carrier's word for the same daily charge. Free time is not set by the government: it comes from the terminal schedule, the carrier tariff or your contract. Since May 28, 2024 the Federal Maritime Commission rule at 46 CFR part 541 says the invoice has to reach you within 30 calendar days of the last day the charge was incurred, has to carry a set list of details, and has to give you at least 30 calendar days to ask for a refund or a waiver. An invoice missing any required detail does not have to be paid.
Your paperwork checklist
General information about United States rules as of September 2026, not legal or customs advice. Every line links to the rule or the agency page behind it. Rules change, so check the source or ask your customs broker before you ship. BGL is not a customs broker: we coordinate clearance with a licensed one.

Questions
Straight answers.
Will the final bill match the quote?
Your quote lists every charge we know about, plus the ones that could come up, like a customs exam, storage or a reweigh. If a cost changes, we tell you why and show you the document before it's billed. Nothing gets added after delivery without a conversation first.
Who do I actually talk to?
A real person at BGL, not a call center. The chat box answers common questions from our published pages, and it says up front that it is automated. Anything it cannot answer goes to a person. Call (708) 846-9992 or email info@bglfreight.com, and you keep the same contact from quote to delivery.
You're new. Why should I trust you with my freight?
Fair question. BGL started in 2026, so we won't show you a track record we don't have. Start with one shipment: an itemized quote, updates at every milestone, and one person answering for it. Then decide.
Do you own the ships, planes and trucks?
No. BGL is non-asset. We choose and book the right carrier for each move, handle the paperwork, and stay on it with you until delivery. We tell you who is carrying your freight before pickup and ask before any carrier change.
Is my shipment too small?
No. There are no minimums and no monthly fees. LCL, a few pallets or a single crate gets the same attention as a full container.
Who handles customs?
We coordinate your customs entry with a licensed customs broker and walk you through duties, taxes and fees before anything is filed, so you can see your estimated landed cost up front.
What if something goes wrong?
You hear it from us first, the same day. We tell you what happened and what your options are. If there's loss or damage, we help you file the claim and follow up with the carrier until it's resolved.
Can you find space when the market gets tight?
No one can honestly guarantee space in peak season. Because we aren't tied to one fleet, we can look across many carriers, plan early around your ready dates, and bring you options instead of silence.
Do you only ship to and from Arizona?
No. We are based in Scottsdale, and we arrange pickup and delivery worldwide, door to door. Ocean and air from Asia, Europe and beyond, trucking across the U.S., and cross-border moves. Give us any origin and destination and we quote it.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No long-term contract. Ask for a quote, get it in writing with one follow-up, and the decision is yours.
