LYNDEN LOGISTICS, INC.

Lynden Logistics, Inc. has been a fixture in Pacific Northwest trade since its founding in 1977. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington — a major gateway for Asia-Pacific imports arriving via the ports of Seattle and Tacoma — the company operates as a full-service licensed customs broker under CBP filer code K10. As part of the established Lynden family of companies, Lynden Logistics brings institutional depth and a multi-location network of 15 offices to bear on complex import and export transactions.

With more than 2,500 bills of lading on file through ImportInfo, Lynden Logistics handles substantial import volume across a wide variety of cargo types. Seattle's geographic position makes the firm a natural fit for importers sourcing goods from Asia — including electronics, machinery, consumer goods, and industrial equipment — who need reliable harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) classification and customs entry preparation to move freight efficiently through CBP.

Lynden Logistics is also deeply experienced in US-Canada cross-border trade. The firm actively supports PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System) filings for goods entering the United States from Canada, as well as PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) filings for northbound shipments. This cross-border expertise is reinforced by their USMCA certification capabilities, ensuring importers can take full advantage of preferential tariff treatment under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement where eligible.

For importers navigating US import requirements, Lynden Logistics provides support across the full clearance lifecycle. This includes Importer Security Filing (ISF) — commonly called the 10+2 rule — which must be submitted at least 24 hours before ocean cargo is loaded at a foreign port. The firm also assists with customs bond requirements, ensuring importers maintain appropriate continuous or single-entry bonds through the ACE portal system.

Lynden Logistics's long operational history and multi-office footprint make it a dependable partner for companies of all sizes — from first-time importers learning how to import goods into the USA, to established shippers managing high-volume, recurring import programs. Their licensed brokers, such as Customs Broker II Hans Jensen noted in company communications, bring practical expertise to tariff classification, duty assessment, and compliance documentation. Importers seeking a customs broker with proven cross-border depth, Pacific Rim trade experience, and a stable institutional track record will find Lynden Logistics a compelling option in the Seattle market.
