Customs Brokerage Services
As our name suggest our primary area of expertise is U.S Customs Brokerage. We can process all necessary documentation to fulfill U.S Government requirements for release of imported cargo and clearance of cargo for export. Although over 85% of our entries are conducted via Laredo,TX and Mcallen/Hidalgo/Pharr,TX Ports of Entry , we hold a national permit that allows us to import merchandise via any port in the nation. We have experience working out of most major ports in the nation, a map of ports we frequently operate from can be found here.
