JA Logistics Achieves CFS Bonded Status

We're excited to share some important news from JA Logistics, a trusted name in transportation and logistics. We have received approval from CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) to operate a bonded CFS space within our facility. This major development empowers us to offer an expanded range of services to our customers.

So, what exactly does our CFS bonded status mean for you? Simply put, it allows us to provide a seamless, streamlined service, including:

• Import and export clearance
• Warehousing
• Consolidation and deconsolidation
• Labeling and repacking
• Truck and rail loading and unloading
• Convenient driver amenities
• Extended free days
   

As a CFS warehouse, we can now store freight in our bonded area up until the General Order (GO) date, roughly fifteen days from the posting of a Permit-To-Transfer. This extended window provides customers with more time to clear customs and organize delivery arrangements.

So, what exactly does having a bonded CFS mean for you? Simply put, it allows us to receive your arriving import cargo prior to clearance and transfer and handle it like domestic freight after release. We now offer cargo owners, customs brokers, and freight forwarders the capability to:

• Send in-bond import containers to us for deconsolidation.
• Transfer arriving air cargo to our warehouse for breakdown and customs clearance.
• Receive in-bond cargo coming to Chicago from another location within the US.
• After clearance, transfer to our domestic warehousing space for short or long term storage.
• Label and repack
• Extended free time compared to airlines and other freight locations.

We believe in taking care of the people who keep our operations moving, and we know these amenities will go a long way in enhancing driver satisfaction and safety.
