Customs Brokers

We strategically partner with a network of certified customs brokers in the United States and Mexico who specialize in the importation of alcoholic beverages, ensuring efficient and accurate customs clearance in full compliance with applicable regulations. More than just acting as intermediaries, we actively manage and oversee the entire clearance process to ensure operational consistency and minimize risks.

We act as the point of coordination between the client, the customs broker, and the authorities (CBP, TTB, FDA), ensuring that all information flows correctly and in a timely manner before, during, and after the border crossing.

Our service includes:

• Selection and coordination of specialized customs brokers:

We work exclusively with brokers who have proven experience in alcoholic beverages, which is critical given the sector’s regulatory complexity.

• Tariff classification (HTS Code):

We validate the correct classification of each product to avoid errors that could result in fines, tax adjustments, or audits.

• Customs value review:

We ensure that the value declaration complies with CBP guidelines, avoiding undervaluation or inconsistencies that could trigger reviews.

• Preparation and submission of entry filings:

We verify that the information submitted to the customs system is accurate, complete, and consistent with the commercial documentation.

• Assistance with reviews and inspections:
In the event of inspections by CBP or other agencies, we coordinate the response, provide additional documentation, and follow up until the goods are released.

One of our key strengths is our active oversight of the customs process. We do not rely solely on the customs broker; we pre-validate critical information to minimize errors and ensure that clearance proceeds as planned.

In addition, we closely monitor key indicators such as:

• Clearance times

• Recurring incidents

• Additional costs due to delays or inspections

The result is a more controlled, predictable, and efficient customs process, which significantly reduces operational and financial risks for our clients.
