Use cases
When to file an IT
Coastal ports are congested
Move the freight out under bond and handle clearance where it's quieter.
You want to defer duty
Duties and formal entry are handled at the destination port, not the port of arrival.
Your driver can't wait for business hours
File any time. The authorized 7512 is in hand before the truck reaches the gate.

Arrive the IT

Full IT lifecycle: $55
Start a 7512An IT isn't closed until it's arrived
Opening the in-bond is only half the job. If the arrival isn't sent, the bond stays open in ACE and goes overdue, even though the cargo was delivered on time. Our portal makes the arrival a one-click step.

Do I pay duty when I file an IT?
No. With an IT, duty and formal entry are deferred until the cargo reaches its destination port, where the entry is filed.
When does an IT need to be arrived?
Once the cargo reaches the destination port, the in-bond should be arrived in ACE within two business days. The whole movement must finish within the 30-calendar-day transit window. After arrival, you have 15 calendar days to file entry, admit the cargo to a Foreign Trade Zone or re-export it, or it can go to General Order.
What do I need to file an IT with Prestige?
A completed power of attorney (POA), which is also how you sign up. Membership is free. After that, you sign in with your email and file each IT online, any time of day.
What's the difference between an IT and a T&E?
An IT moves cargo to another U.S. port where it enters U.S. commerce. A T&E moves cargo through the U.S. so it can be exported, usually to Canada or Mexico.
