U.S. Customs Clearance Upgraded Again: Stricter Inspections for 5H and 9H Are Here! Essential Guide for International Freight Forwarders on Distinguishing Between Cargo Detentions and Effective Response Strategies

Recently, U.S. CBP has continued to tighten customs risk controls, with 5H and 9H detentions and inspections becoming frequent chokepoints in cross-border freight shipments.

U.S. 5H Inspections Are Intensifying! With 16 Years of Compliance Expertise, Huijietong Helps Sellers Clear Customs Smoothly.

Effective May 1! Full liability for abandoned cargo at the port of destination will be borne by the shipper.

With the official implementation of the new Maritime Law on May 1 fast approaching, discussions within the industry about the new regulations have once again intensified. Among these, the most closely watched and potentially disruptive change is the shift in liability for “goods left unclaimed at the discharge port”: the responsibility for related costs and risks is now explicitly assigned to the shipper rather than the consignee as under the previous regime. This adjustment fundamentally upends industry practice, exposing freight forwarders, shippers, and cross-border sellers alike to entirely new risk challenges.

The era of “double clearance with tax included” for U.S. shipments has come to an end!
