Customs clearance is required whenever an import shipment arrives in the United States. Shipments valued over $2,500 require formal clearance by a customs broker. The Regent’s customs broker, American Cargoservice, Inc., has the customs power-of-attorney to arrange customs clearance on behalf of the University of California. Please contact your Supply Chain Management Buyer at supplychain@berkeley.edu for inbound or outbound international shipments questions.
