Freight forwarding built around the customs clearance
Air, ocean, and truck freight coordinated with your U.S. import and Mexico export clearance under one roof. One point of contact from the shipper’s dock to your door, on both sides of the border.
What freight forwarding with a border broker actually gets you
A freight forwarder arranges the movement of your cargo. We book the space, tender the freight, manage the carriers, and track the shipment across air, ocean, full truckload, LTL, and partial loads. Because we are also your licensed customs broker, the transport plan and the clearance are built together instead of handed between two companies that never talk.
That coordination is where cross-border shipments live or die. When the forwarder and the broker are the same team, the ISF gets filed on time, the entry paperwork matches the freight documents, and a truck is not sitting at Otay Mesa waiting on a release that nobody flagged. You get one invoice, one status update, and one person who owns the outcome from origin to final delivery.

How we handle it
We map the shipment
Tell us the origin, destination, commodity, and deadline. We pick the mode and routing that fits, confirm the HTS classification and any PGA requirements up front, and quote the full landed move, not just the freight leg.
We book and file together
We tender the freight to the right carrier and prepare the customs entry from the same document set. ISF, commercial invoice, and packing list all get checked against each other before anything ships.
We move and clear it
The cargo travels, and we clear it in step so there is no gap at the border. If CBP or a partner agency asks a question, we answer it and keep the freight moving instead of letting it sit.
We deliver and reconcile
The shipment reaches your door on either side of the line. You get one file with the freight documents, the entry summary, and the duties paid, ready for your records and any future audit.
