What a Customs Broker Does:

All goods and merchandise imported into the U.S. must clear an assortment of compliance requirements enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (C.B.P).

This can range from submitting a customs entry with C.B.P. to submitting cargo for Customs examinations before they can be delivered to their final recipient.

While importers have the legal right to represent themselves in these matters, it is strongly advised by C.B.P. that anyone importing goods retain the services of a Licensed U.S. Customs Broker to process shipments on their behalf.

A Licensed U.S. Customs Broker acts as a knowledgeable attorney for an importer in all matters relating to importing and exporting commodities. We coordinate directly with federal agencies, logistic operators, and the importer to ensure that a shipment makes it from origin to destination as expediently as possible and clears all applicable Customs mandates.
