As a licensed U.S. customs broker, Kartash incorporates security into its daily operations and maintains security policies and procedures applicable to its business. Management supports the company’s security program, provides oversight and the resources needed to carry out assigned security responsibilities, and addresses identified security concerns.

Working together
These guidelines apply to customers and partners according to their role in the shipment. Contact Kartash if you need help identifying the information or next step relevant to your business.
Provide complete, legible invoices, packing lists and transport documents. Use specific product descriptions and consistent party, quantity, value and origin information. Tell Kartash promptly about errors, missing details or changes so affected information can be reviewed before filing.
Provide the power of attorney and supporting business documents requested during onboarding. Notify Kartash of material changes to your legal name, ownership, address, authorized contacts or shipment instructions. If requested, complete the partner questionnaire based on your current practices and services.
Notify your Kartash contact of suspected document tampering, unexplained shipment changes, seal discrepancies reported by a carrier, unauthorized instructions or other security concerns affecting a shipment. Preserve relevant documents and messages. For an immediate emergency, contact emergency services; notifying Kartash does not replace required reporting to authorities.
Work with your supplier and the parties handling the cargo to prevent visible pest contamination. Where regulated wood packaging is used, ensure it meets applicable U.S. requirements, including ISPM 15 treatment and marking requirements. Send Kartash any agricultural hold or agency notice promptly so we can coordinate the brokerage response. Kartash does not physically handle or inspect cargo.
Apply security measures appropriate to your role and work with your suppliers, carriers and service providers on the requirements that apply to them. Kartash encourages eligible customers and partners to explore CTPAT participation. Tell us about your current CTPAT or applicable AEO certification status and material changes to it.
Shipment requirements depend on the goods, packaging, parties and route. Follow current agency instructions and any directions issued for your shipment.
