Customs & Clearance Notes
Standard US import documentation applies: EPA Form 3520-1, DOT Form HS-7, and a customs bond. Jacksonville's CBP office processes high volumes of vehicle imports and is generally efficient for straightforward personal-vehicle entries, though peak season congestion at Blount Island can occasionally extend dwell times.
Collection & Storage
Free time is typically 3–5 calendar days after discharge at Blount Island before storage fees apply. We recommend arranging inland haulage in advance given the terminal's high daily vehicle throughput.
