A customs broker is a federally licensed specialist who files your import entry with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on your behalf. They classify your goods under the correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code, calculate and remit import duties and taxes, prepare required CBP documentation, and liaise with CBP on examinations or holds. Without a licensed customs broker (or a CBP-approved self-filer), your goods cannot legally be released from the port.
Typical cost: Customs brokerage entry fees typically range from $150 to $350 per formal entry, plus government fees (MPF 0.3464% of value, minimum $31.67, maximum $614.35; HMF 0.125% for ocean). ISF filing (if offered) adds $30–$75. Annual continuous bond premiums run $500–$600 from most surety companies.
Individuals may self-file, but any corporation, partnership, or association must use a licensed customs broker to file entries. Practically speaking, even sole proprietors use brokers — the HTS classification rules, FDA/USDA requirements, and CBP penalty exposure make self-filing high-risk for most commercial importers.
A freight forwarder arranges transportation — booking ocean or air space, coordinating drayage, filing the ISF. A customs broker files your import entry with CBP and handles duty payment and commodity classification. Many companies in are dual-licensed to offer both services, which reduces the coordination risk between your two points of contact during the critical clearance window.

A freight forwarder acts as an agent arranging cargo transportation on behalf of shippers using carrier space they don't own. An NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) issues its own bills of lading and contracts directly with ocean carriers, then sells space to shippers.
