Shipping, Imports & Project Delivery — The Americas
How to plan international product shipping, customs, receiving and local delivery for The Americas projects, with supply-only responsibilities clearly defined.
USA, Canada and Latin American markets cannot share one customs, certification or building-code checklist. Apollo's established website pathways currently prioritise USA and Canada; other American destinations require individual feasibility review.
Request a The Americas supply quotation →Apollo NZ Global is supply-only. Local customs clearance, statutory approvals, site engineering, installation and destination works are not included unless expressly identified in a written quotation.
Buyer pathway
From project specification to freight handover.
Confirm product scope and freight basis
Agree dimensions, packed weights, agreed Incoterm and named place, insurance, packing and handling requirements.
Prepare for destination clearance
Have the importer and their agent confirm HS classification, duties, taxes, origin and required permits before manufacturing release.
Arrange local receiving and installation
Separate any overseas freight from customs clearance, port fees, inland delivery, unloading, site works and local approvals.
Freight and receiving
Plan the whole route, not only the ocean leg.
Delivery point and handover
State the destination country, state/province, city, site and receiving port or inland terminal.
Import and commercial scope
Identify importer of record, Incoterm, customs broker, marine insurance, inland freight, delivery appointment and unloading.
Handling and site access
Check long-distance road restrictions, overweight or oversized loads, local handling and climate at the receiving site.
Destination compliance
Duties, taxes and import documentation.
Classification and taxes
USA: importer should check CBP classification and origin, tariff measures, applicable duties and any relevant federal product obligations.
Destination permissions
Canada: importer should check CBSA classification, GST/HST and other taxes, applicable duties, origin and any product requirements.
Shipping paperwork
For Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, obtain country-specific customs and tax advice; do not reuse USA/Canada assumptions.
Rates, legal requirements and applicable certifications can change. This page does not provide binding customs, tax, engineering or legal advice; verify with the local importer, regulator and appointed professionals.
