Customs Services


Import & Export Customs Clearance 

Cleared Fast. In-House. Every Time.

BTX's licensed customs brokers manage the full clearance process for both imports and exports — coordinating documentation, regulatory filings, and communication with customs authorities to ensure your freight clears without holds, delays, or compliance gaps. Our in-house team works proactively on every shipment so clearance never becomes a bottleneck. 

Harmonized Tariff Classification 

Optimizing Customs Entries

Misclassified goods are one of the leading causes of customs delays, unexpected duties, and compliance penalties. BTX's classification specialists assign the correct HTS codes to your products — reducing duty liability, preventing costly errors, and ensuring your shipments clear accurately and efficiently across every trade lane. 

Duty & Tax Management 

Minimize Liability, Maximize Efficiency

BTX's duty and tax management services help importers and exporters minimize customs duty exposure — leveraging duty drawback programs, free trade agreement utilization, and accurate duty calculation to reduce your landed costs and keep more money in your business. 

Import & Export Trade Compliance 

Designed to Keep you Compliant

BTX's trade compliance team manages export controls, import regulations and licensing requirements — keeping your cross-border operations fully compliant with US and international trade law on every shipment. 

Import & Export Documentation 

Every Document, Done Right 

BTX manages the full documentation process for imports and exports — commercial invoices, bills of lading, certificates of origin, packing lists, and export licenses — ensuring every shipment is supported by accurate, complete paperwork from origin to destination. 

Customs & Trade Consulting 

For Complex Trade Challenges 

When your cross-border operations need more than transactional brokerage, BTX's customs consulting team provides strategic guidance — from trade agreement analysis and compliance program development to customs audit support and supply chain restructuring.

Most Customs Problems Start Before the Freight Ships 

 A missed or inaccurate ISF filing can trigger a CBP examination, a compliance penalty, or a port hold that costs more than the shipment itself — and most are entirely preventable. BTX's licensed customs brokers file ISFs accurately and on time for every shipment, reviewing documentation and classifications before your freight ships so clearance is already in motion when it arrives.
