Sea Express America Corporation — widely known by its trade name SEACORP — is a CBP-licensed customs broker and full-service logistics company headquartered at 514 N. Academy Street in Lincolnton, North Carolina. Established in 1998, SEACORP holds a customs broker filer code of NLX and operates as an OTI-licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) and freight forwarder, giving importers and exporters a single point of contact for their entire supply chain.
SEACORP's licensed customs brokerage practice handles the full range of import compliance requirements. This includes customs entry preparation, HTS code classification using the 10-digit tariff schedule, importer of record requirements, ISF 10+2 filing (Importer Security Filing), continuous customs bond management, and single entry bond arrangements. Importers moving high-value or high-volume shipments can work with SEACORP to ensure their import bond requirements are properly structured and their entries are filed accurately and on time.
Beyond customs clearance, SEACORP offers comprehensive freight solutions that cover ocean freight for both FCL and LCL shipments on import and export lanes, air freight solutions for time-sensitive cargo, and domestic trucking to complete the inland supply chain. Their government and military cargo division handles secure, compliant shipping for defense-related and federal agency freight — a specialty that sets them apart from general-purpose brokers. SEACORP is also certified in dangerous goods handling, operating in full compliance with IMDG, DOT, and ICAO regulations, making them a capable partner for chemical, industrial, or hazardous material shipments.
Located in western North Carolina's Lincoln County, SEACORP serves manufacturers, distributors, and importers across the Carolinas and the broader Southeast region. The area's manufacturing base — including furniture, textiles, and industrial equipment — aligns with SEACORP's core freight competencies. Importers sourcing goods from Asia, Europe, or Latin America who need a customs broker near them with 25-plus years of practical experience will find SEACORP's direct-access model — where clients reach decision-makers rather than call centers — a meaningful operational advantage.
SEACORP's global agent network spans major trade lanes, enabling competitive ocean and air freight rates backed by transparent communication. Whether you need help with HTS code classification, type 86 entry filings for low-value e-commerce shipments, or understanding section 321 de minimis thresholds, SEACORP's licensed brokers bring the expertise to keep your imports compliant and moving.
