G.O. (General Order) – this takes into effect when the container goes unclaimed for a period of time. U.S. Customs will issue a G.O. Notice and move the goods to an G.O. Warehouse where the goods will either be auctioned off to the public or destroyed depending on the imported goods.
To avoid G.O. imported must submit entry in a timely manner to let customs know the importers would still like the goods. Also ensure the cargo is picked up to avoid additional charges.
