No, it takes time, close inspection, and unless you develop a track record and become "known" there will be delays and in some instances, no service.

New and "unknown" importers (to the US) can expect longer lead time requirements to process new shipments. Allow at least 5-7 business days advance lead time for any US import shipment going to "the pier" at the overseas port of origin. A profile has to be made and entered for each party to an export/import transaction. US exports require a SED Shippers Export Declaration, filed electronically by an authorized person. Export and Import shipments have to be processed in their own unique way. Cargo can not arrive from unknown parties on short notice, and expect to move immediately. Security procedures are no longer just a "routine matter". Real identification is required, and US Government maintained <a href="http://www.bis.doc.gov/complianceandenforcement/liststocheck.htm">security lists</a> have to be checked. <br><br> </td></tr></table> <br> TSA Transportation Security Agency: <br> <a href="http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers/aircargo/index.shtm"> tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers/<br>aircargo/index.shtm</a> <br><br> Guidance from Air Carrier Industry:<br> <a href="http://www.swacargo.com/cargo/who_can_ship.html"> swacargo.com/cargo/who_can_ship.html</a> <br><br> <ul> <font size="1" face="Verdana, arial"> Prohibited Items: <br> <nobr><a href="http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm">tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/</nobr><br><nobr>permitted-prohibited-items.shtm</a></nobr><br> </ul><br><br><br><a href="http://www.ready.gov">ready.gov</a></nobr> <br><br><br> </font><a name="denied_persons"></a> <hr> <br><br><br> <font size="4" face="Verdana, arial">OFAC</font><br><br> <font size="1" face="Verdana, arial"> U.S. Dept.of the Treasury <br> <nobr><a href="http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/map/index.shtml">Office of Foreign Assets Control</a></nobr><br> <br>DENIED PARTIES, BLOCKED PERSONS<br> <a href="http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/index.shtml">SPECIALLY DESIGNATED NATIONALS LIST</a> <br><br> <br><ul><font size="4" face="Verdana, arial">2009 Updates</font><br>BUREAU OF INDUSTRY AND SECURITY<br> Seminars and Training &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://www.bis.doc.gov/seminarsandtraining/seminar-training.htm">ONLINE SLIDE SHOWS<br>AND INTRODUCTORY COURSES</a> <br><br> <br><br><br> <br> <br><br><br><a name="restrictions_apply"></a> <br><br> <br><center> <table width="70%" bgcolor="maroon" cellpadding="6"><tr><td class="btnav" onmouseover="style.backgroundColor='#1F1F1F';" onmouseout="style.backgroundColor='#363636'"><center><br> <a href="http://www.bis.doc.gov"> <img src="http://www.sefco-export.com/images/bis_07.JPG" border="8"></a><br><br> <a href="http://www.bis.doc.gov/complianceandenforcement/liststocheck.htm"> <img src="http://www.sefco-export.com/images/security_lists1.JPG" border="8"></a> </center> <br> </td></tr></table> </center> <br> <br> <FONT SIZE="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana"> In two minutes this page will be re-directed to our <b>"Safe and Sound" </b>Security Guide <br><br> To proceed immediately to the next page, <a href="http://www.thebest-of.info/sefco_links/safeandsound.htm">click here</a>.</ul> </font><br><br><center> <a href="http://www.thebest-of.info/sefco_links/safeandsound.htm"> <img src="http://www.sefco-export.com/safe212.jpg" alt="be aware and alert." border="8"></a></ul> </center> <blockquote><table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="6"> <tr><td> <FONT SIZE="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana"> Department of Homeland Security <a href="http://www.dhs.gov/index.shtm" target="_blank"><b>DHS home page</b></a><br> </blockquote></font></td></tr></table></blockquote></ul></ul> </td></tr></table> </center> <br> <br> <center> <FONT SIZE="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana"> <b> <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/internationalmover.htm" target="_blank">www.sefco-export.com</a></b></font> <br><br> <table width="680" cellpadding="4" cellpadding="4" border="1" BGCOLOR="#F5F5DC"> <tr><td> <CENTER> <FONT SIZE="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana"> <A HREF="http://www.sefco-export.com" class="list" target="_blank">[Home]</A> &nbsp; | &nbsp; <A HREF="http://www.sefco-export.com/shipping/online_request.htm" class="list">[International Shipping Rate Request Form]</A> &nbsp; | &nbsp; <A HREF="http://www.sefco-export.com/corporate/contact.htm" class="list" target="_blank">[Contact Us]</A> </FONT></CENTER> </td></tr> </table></CENTER> <P> <CENTER> <FONT SIZE="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana"> Have a question or comment about SEFCO or the SEFCO website?
