Customs Brokerage

Where Accuracy and Accountability Matter Most

Your Cargo.
Our Customs & Compliance Expertise.

Customs clearance isn't just paperwork—it's decisions that determine whether your shipment clears on schedule or gets held at the border. We own those decisions. From tariff classifications to valuation methods to compliance documentation, we handle the technical details that protect your business from penalties, delays, and unnecessary duties.

We don't just file entries. We provide the judgment, accuracy, and accountability that keep your goods moving and your compliance record clean.

Customs Brokerage, Owned End to End

More than filing—it's risk management you can defend. Every customs entry represents exposure: classification errors, valuation disputes, documentation gaps. We treat each filing as a decision that needs to be right the first time and defensible long after. Our licensed brokers don't guess at HTS codes or wing compliance requirements—we apply technical expertise, maintain consistency across your shipments, and keep records that withstand scrutiny.

This isn't transactional processing. It's continuity. When CBP asks questions months or years later, we have the documentation, the rationale, and the track record to support every decision we made on your behalf.

Core Brokerage Decisions That Protect Your Busines

Every customs entry represents a series of high-stakes decisions. Classification errors, valuation mistakes, and origin claims gone wrong don’t just delay clearance—they create audit exposure, penalty risk, and compliance problems that can surface years later. These aren’t administrative tasks. They’re judgment calls that determine whether your imports clear cleanly or become costly liabilities.

Customs Entry Filing

We prepare and file accurate customs entries that clear CBP without delays or penalties. Every entry reflects proper classification, valuation, and documentation—right the first time.

Tariff Classification

We assign defensible HTS codes based on product composition, function, and regulatory guidance. Accurate classification protects you from duty adjustments, penalties, and audit findings.

Valuation & Country of Origin

We determine correct customs value and establish defensible country of origin positions. This protects your duty treatment under trade agreements and withstands CBP scrutiny during reviews.

Compliance Oversight & Risk Management: Staying Protected Over Time

Customs entries clear, but compliance doesn’t stop there. Trade regulations shift constantly—new tariff lines, Partner Government Agency rule changes, forced labor enforcement updates. CVI provides proactive oversight that keeps your program ahead of regulatory risk.

  • FDA, USDA, EPA, and DOT requirements monitored and updated
  • Early guidance on tariff changes before they impact cost or clearance
  • Forced labor compliance and supply chain due diligence support
  • Regulatory alerts that prevent problems instead of reacting to them

We don't just file entries—we ensure your business stays compliant, protected, and moving as rules evolve.

Trust isn't given—it's earned 

Through accountability, expertise, and a track record of getting it right when the stakes are high.
