Dear Valued Client,
As you know, Vandegrift was acquired by Maersk in 2019 and became an important part of Maersk’s global integrator of container logistics strategy here in North America.
The next natural step in this process is the rebranding of “Vandegrift – A Maersk Company” as Maersk Customs Services USA, Inc. (MCS USA) effective January 18, 2021.
This name change affirms our ongoing commitment to providing the highest levels of service, quality and expertise to our customs brokerage clients. As Maersk Customs Services USA, Inc., we will continue to provide a unified access to the vast array of resources available to support your global trade goals.
There is no need for you to take any action as a result of the name change; however, you will notice new Maersk.com email addresses for our employees. We suggest updating your contact information with the new address to ensure uninterrupted communication. In the interim, emails will be forwarded with no lapse in service.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been notified at both the national and local levels and they have approved the name change. Filer code 316 will remain for entry purposes and no changes to EDI or IT integrations are necessary. If you require an updated W9 for your records, please contact your account representative.
It is truly a privilege to partner with you. Thank you for trusting us with your business and we look forward to continuing to service your customs brokerage needs as we move forward under our new name.
If you have any questions relating to the name change, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Mark Zeitlin
President
Maersk Customs Services, USA, Inc.
