Clear the San Diego border both directions — without the holds, fines, or hold music.
Licensed, bilingual customs brokerage for importers and exporters crossing at San Diego & Otay Mesa. We classify it right, file it on time, and answer the phone when your cargo is on the line.
Customs, freight, and cross-border — handled
From entry filing to the final mile, one team keeps your goods moving and compliant on both sides of the border.

Export to Mexico and import back with a broker who handles both directions of the crossing.
Cross both ways →Freight Forwarding
Air, truckload, LTL and partial freight coordinated end to end with your customs clearance.

Store imported goods duty-deferred until you’re ready to release them into commerce.
Store bonded →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.
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
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
