The Port of Seattle handles a wide range of commodities including containerized consumer goods, electronics, automobiles, fresh produce, seafood, and bulk agricultural products, with Asia being the dominant trade partner.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA-TAC) operates under its own CBP processing but is administratively linked to the Seattle port district; trade entries may reference port code 3001 for the broader Seattle district.
Seattle serves as a key node for cross-border trade with Canada, facilitating both marine and overland shipments, and is a major transshipment point for goods moving between Asian markets and North American inland destinations.
