01 · CBP Class 3
US Customs Bonded storage
Hold imported cargo on bond so duty isn't owed until you're ready to enter it for consumption. Useful when Customs paperwork is still being sorted, when duty timing affects cash flow, or when goods may be re-exported and you'd rather not pay duty twice.
Designation
CBP-designated Class 3 (importer's private bonded warehouse).
Inventory
Tracked under bond with chain-of-custody documentation through release.
Capacity
3,000+ racked positions of bonded floor and rack space across two facilities.
02 · CBP-designated GO facility
General Order (GO) storage
When freight goes unclaimed past the 15-day window at the port, CBP moves it to a GO warehouse. We handle GO containers — receive them, hold them, and work with carriers, brokers, and CBP to get them released or disposed of properly.
What we accept
Both ocean and air GO freight, including overweights and partial-claim cargo.
How we receive
Direct from terminal under GO documentation; we coordinate the move with the carrier and CBP.
Resolution
Release to the importer once duty/charges are paid, or hand off for sale or destruction per CBP direction.
03 · Container unload
Devanning
Hand-unload containers piece-by-piece with a piece-count audit and damage notes as we go. Useful when cargo is floor-loaded, when the bill of lading needs verification, or when you want a second set of eyes on what showed up versus what was paid for.
Throughput
30 containers/day at peak, scaled by container type and product mix.
Documentation
Photographed exceptions, signed piece-count tally, optional video of unload on request.
Disposition
Stage to rack, cross-dock to outbound, or palletize per your SOP.
04 · Highway-legal redistribution
Overweight container reworking
Containers that arrive over US highway weight limits get split, re-palletized, and redistributed across legal-weight loads so they can move inland. This is one of the things C&C is best known for — we built tooling and process around it because so many 3PLs send the work back.
Inbound
Receive overweight container straight off the chassis at the dock.
Rework
Re-palletize, weigh, redistribute across outbound trailers to keep each axle within FHWA limits.
Outbound
Tendered as legal-weight loads with weight tickets and BOLs ready for the driver.
05 · Port of Charleston
Drayage
Short-haul container moves between the SC Ports Authority terminals and our facility (or yours). Low-mileage runs from Wando Welch, North Charleston Terminal, and Hugh K. Leatherman keep per-container drayage cost down.
Wando Welch
~16–24 miles from our facilities.
North Charleston Terminal
~7–14 miles from our facilities.
Hugh K. Leatherman
~6–14 miles from our facilities.
06 · In, sorted, out
Cross-dock
Receive freight on one dock, sort it, and tender it back out the other side without warehousing it in between. Right when transit time matters more than storage cost — DC bypass, tight retailer windows, time-defined consolidations.
Speed
Same-day touch when inbound and outbound windows align.
Sorting
Sort by SKU, store, route, or customer — whatever the downstream system needs.
Documentation
Pallet labels, BOLs, ASNs handed off the way the downstream WMS expects them.
07 · One in, many out
Deconsolidation
Break a single inbound container or trailer into multiple outbound shipments — by customer, by store, by region. Especially useful for importers consolidating overseas to save ocean freight, then needing the cargo split once it lands.
Inbound
Receive consolidated container at the dock with master BOL.
Sort
Pull and stage by destination using the manifest and your routing rules.
Outbound
Tender separate house BOLs / LTL pickups against each destination.
08 · Real-time visibility
WMS-tracked inventory
Inventory tracked in a real warehouse management system — receive, putaway, pick, ship — with an importer portal so you can see counts and movements without calling us. Bonded, GO, and free-cargo all tracked side-by-side under one logon.
Visibility
Live counts, lot/serial tracking where applicable, and movement history.
Reporting
On-hand, aging, in/out activity, and bond status pulled on demand.
09 · Order fulfillment
Pick & pack
Pull stock from rack, pack it to your spec, label it, and tender it to the carrier you choose. Built for importers who land bulk through Charleston and want order fulfillment to live in the same building, on the same WMS, as their bonded inventory.
Pick types
Each, inner, case, or pallet — picks routed off the WMS.
Pack
To your packout spec; carton or pallet, labeled to your retailer / carrier rules.
Carriers
Parcel and LTL — daily pickup windows already established with the major carriers.
