Entry filing, HTS classification, duties, and ISF — handled by a licensed, bilingual brokerage that knows the San Diego border inside and out.
A customs broker is your licensed representative to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). We prepare and file your entry, classify your goods under the correct HTS code, calculate duties and fees, post the right bond, and coordinate any partner-agency requirements — so your shipment clears the San Diego border and keeps moving.
Get one detail wrong — a misclassified tariff code, a late ISF, the wrong bond — and cargo sits while demurrage and penalties climb. Our job is to make sure that never happens.
U.S. import and Mexico export handled by one team at Otay Mesa — the busiest commercial crossing on the southern border.
When a shipment is on the line, you reach a real broker — not a ticket queue. We move fast because freight can’t wait.
Correct classification, ISF, and bonds mean no penalties and no surprise CBP holds. Right beats cheap.

No law requires it, but CBP holds the importer of record responsible for correct classification, valuation, and payment of duties. A licensed customs broker files on your behalf and protects you from the penalties and delays that come with getting it wrong — which is why nearly all commercial importers use one.
Fees depend on the entry type, number of lines, and any partner-agency requirements. For most shipments it’s a modest per-entry fee — far less than the demurrage, back-duties, and fines a single misclassification or missed ISF can trigger.

The Importer Security Filing (ISF, or “10+2”) is required for ocean imports and must be filed at least 24 hours before cargo is laden at the foreign port. A late or missing ISF carries penalties up to $5,000 per shipment. We file it on time, every time.
Yes. We handle U.S. import clearance and coordinate Mexican customs (agente aduanal) for southbound shipments — one bilingual team for both directions of the San Diego–Tijuana crossing.
Typically the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, and any partner-agency paperwork (for example FDA prior notice for food). Send what you have and we’ll tell you exactly what’s missing.
