The American Companies has provided a high quality, cost-effective level of service to the transportation community for over 100 years - our flagship business, American Shipping Company, was originally founded in 1899. As a Nationally Permitted U.S. Customs Broker & Export Foreign Freight Forwarder, we participate in all phases of the Automated Broker Interface (ACE, RLF, ACH, AES, AMS, CSI, ISF, reconciliation and all other programs), enabling us to custom clear merchandise or export your cargo as quickly and efficiently as possible.
