Book a Free ConsultationCustoms brokerage is the professional service of filing customs entries, classifying goods, calculating duties, and managing regulatory compliance on behalf of importers. Licensed customs brokers use CBP's Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system to electronically file entry documents and communicate with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Greenwich Mercantile provides customs brokerage at a flat rate of $100 per filing.
We prepare and submit your customs entry to CBP — entry summary, classification, value declaration, and all supporting documentation. Every entry is filed within 30 minutes of receiving your documents.
Accurate tariff classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. We review your product specifications against the full HTS schedule to ensure you're paying the correct duty rate — not a dollar more than required.
Importer Security Filing (10+2) submitted 24 hours before vessel loading, as required by CBP. Late or inaccurate ISF filings carry penalties of $5,000 per violation. We file every ISF on time, every time.
Partner Government Agency submissions for FDA, USDA, EPA, CPSC, and other regulatory bodies. If your product requires government agency clearance, it's included in your $100 filing fee. No surcharges.
Precise duty and fee calculation based on transaction value, HTS classification, country of origin, and applicable trade programs. We identify duty reduction opportunities including free trade agreements and tariff exemptions.
Ongoing monitoring of tariff changes, trade actions, and regulatory updates that affect your products. When rates change or new requirements take effect, we notify you before your next shipment — not after.
We learn your business — what you're shipping, where it's coming from, and what compliance requirements apply to your products.
You get a self-service portal to submit and track filings. Or just email us your documents — whatever's easier for you. We handle the power of attorney and customs bond setup.
Fast filings. Accurate classifications. Ongoing tariff optimization. Every entry filed in 30 minutes, every entry $100. You focus on your business.
$100 per filing. All-inclusive. No surcharges.
Most customs brokers quote a low entry fee, then add surcharges for everything else. ISF filing, PGA submissions, classification reviews, after-hours work — the add-ons can double or triple your cost per entry. Greenwich Mercantile charges one flat fee that covers everything.

Learn more →Customs brokerage is the process of clearing imported goods through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A licensed customs broker acts as your representative before CBP — filing entry documents, classifying your products under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, calculating duties and fees, and ensuring compliance with all government agency requirements. Federal law requires that only licensed customs brokers may transact customs business on behalf of importers. Without a broker, you must navigate CBP's regulatory framework yourself, which exposes you to delays, penalties, and seizures.
