The #1 Reason Equipment Gets Held at the Border
Specialized ocean freight for oversized and overweight equipment. We handle flat rack containers, out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo, break-bulk, and RoRo shipments. From port selection to vessel booking, we optimize every route for your heavy equipment.
What Happens Without EPA Compliance
Every heavy machine with a diesel engine imported into the USA must meet EPA emissions standards. Without proper documentation, your equipment gets:
Detained at Port
CBP holds your equipment until EPA documentation is provided. Storage fees accumulate daily — $150-500/day at most ports.
Fined Heavily
EPA violations carry fines up to $5,000+ per machine. Repeat violations can result in import privileges being revoked entirely.
Sent Back
Non-compliant equipment can be ordered re-exported at your expense. You lose the machine, the shipping cost, and the deal.
How We Guarantee EPA Clearance
Flat rack & open-top containers for oversized loads
Break-bulk and RoRo for self-propelled equipment
Port-to-port and door-to-door options
Route optimization for cost & transit time
