How are duty and taxes assessed?

Typically, the importer is billed by the broker for duty and taxes. The customs broker determines duty (if applicable) along with taxes and reports the charges to customs on behalf of the client.

What are freight classes?

The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) tariff defines and rates all types of goods and commodities for motor carriers. There are 18 freight classes rated from 50 to 500.

If you are not sure of the classification of your freight, contact a Quill Transport Ltd. representative or the National Motor Freight Traffic Association at 703-838-1810.
