Fulfillment centers in Canada and Mexico filling Section 321 orders, ShipBob says

On Thursday, global supply chain and fulfillment platform ShipBob said three of its fulfillment center are now filling Section 321-compliant orders for customers in the United States.

The fulfillment centers in Canada and Mexico are now using the Section 321 entry type for merchants shipping high-tariff goods to reduce the amount of paperwork required to import as well as speed up delivery times to U.S. consumers and save money during transportation and duties, officials said. ShipBob’s technology will automatically allocate Section 321-eligible orders for streamlined customs clearance, the company said. Then, the company will fully coordinate transportation to the nearest U.S. ShipBob hub where the parcel is set for delivery.

“Leveraging Section 321 with ShipBob has shown huge benefits in terms of duties savings and transportation expense. Overall, a much better experience for our customers who are getting essentially a US-domestic shipping experience,” Aaron Aragonez, Director of E-Commerce at NOCTA, said.

The company said its fulfillment centers in the Toronto metro area now support Section 321 shipping to the U.S. and that these fulfillment centers can ship to the East Coast with an average transit time of two to three days. The company’s bonded warehouse in Mexico can import products to any Southern California port, officials said, and is fully integrated with bonded transportation, covering shipping from port to porch.

“We are excited for this next step in expanding our global footprint by offering customized solutions for large, growing merchants,” Divey Gulati, COO of ShipBob, said. “Because of ShipBob’s full-stack approach and deep carrier partnerships in these geographies, merchants get a very streamlined experience without having to navigate all the different logistical pieces coming together, while reducing customs delays to delight customers.”
