PrintablePrintableShareShare

Port Lansing is mid-Michigan’s newest US Port of Entry that allows for goods and passengers to clear customs through the US Customs & Border Protection.

Did you know there are more than 170 international businesses located within the Port Lansing service area?  Port Lansing is an alternative for importers/exporters to clear US Customs locally instead of the frequent hassles and delays that occur at larger metro hubs.

Multiple rail-lines run through Port Lansing’s service area , making it convenient for transporting and storing rail freight, along with air-cargo and FCL or LCL that may travel via road/truck.  And with the recent designation of Foreign Trade Zone No. 275, international businesses have the potential to defer, reduce, or eliminate duties, improving cash flow and operational efficiencies.  Port Lansing is an emerging Global Logistics Center and has the necessary infrastructure and resources available to give your company a competitive advantage in today's global economy.
