HOUSTON – GAC, the global provider of integrated shipping, logistics and marine services, continues to strengthen its presence and services in the U.S. by obtaining a Customs Broker’s License with a National Permit
13-047.
This follows the Group’s recent C-TPAT certification, granted only to
companies that meet the strict criteria set by U.S. Customs & Border
Protection and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
As a licensed customs broker, GAC will continue to provide its supply
chain and oil & gas customers with a complete suite of services enhanced
by greater efficiency, and quicker turnaround times. Customers will also
enjoy the benefits of GAC having complete internal control of the process
from start to finish. In addition, the National designation allows GAC to
clear its customer’s cargo in all 50 states including Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico.
The Customs Broker’s License has been issued to the newly formed company,
GAC Brokerage, LLC, and will be managed by Luisa Holloway, VP of Brokerage
& Import Manager. Ms Holloway joined GAC a year ago and has over 20 years’
experience in imports, customs regulations and dealing with various
security clearance challenges.
She says: “As a Group we focus on long-term partnerships and being able to
deliver specialized services to our customers. Obtaining this license was a
necessity and exemplifies our commitment to provide added efficiency and
security to the handling of our customers’ freight.”
