U.S. Customs and Border Protection operates a full service customs office with the ability to check and clear both US and foreign vessels in Port Fourchon. This service has provided convenient, timely, and cost efficient import/export opportunities for new companies or companies who have previously sought customs services at more distant entry ports.
Port Fourchon does not require river pilots to usher ships into the port. First arrivals to Port Fourchon may choose a river pilot from a vessel agent or may take advantage of an escort by the Harbor Police. In either case, the fees are dramatically lower than the Port of New Orleans fees. This may save thousands of dollars in entry service fees. For mid to smaller importing companies, saving these fees makes Port Fourchon the most feasible entry port in the Gulf region.
Vessel entry bonds and cargo entry bonds can be obtained from vessel agents.
A listing of basic Custom Forms required upon entry at Port Fourchon can be acquired from the National Customs and Border Protection service web site by clicking here.
