Why the broker matters

The difference between cleared and held

A customs broker isn’t paperwork — it’s the difference between cargo that moves and cargo that sits racking up demurrage. One misclassification costs more than years of filing fees.

⚠ Held at the border

The cheap-filing gamble

  • ✗  Wrong HTS code → back-duties & penalties
  • ✗  Missed ISF (10+2) → $5,000 fines
  • ✗  Wrong bond → entry rejected
  • ✗  Broker won’t answer → cargo sits, demurrage climbs
✓ Cleared & moving

The San Diego Customs Broker way

  •   Correct classification, first time
  •   ISF filed early, every time
  •   The right bond in place before arrival
  •   A bilingual team that picks up the phone
