What we do

What does a licensed customs broker actually do for an importer?

A licensed customs broker files your entry with CBP and answers for it afterwards. At JFS CHB that means Type 01 consumption entries through ABI/ACE, duty drawback, Foreign Trade Zone administration and post-de-minimis e-commerce clearance — each under licensed oversight, with compliance review and follow-through after the entry clears.

How do I start working with a customs broker?

Starting with a broker takes four things: a power of attorney, a credit application, KYC documentation and agreed terms of service. All four are prepared online here, which takes a new importer from first contact to active filing without the back-and-forth.

How do I find the HTS code for my product?

An HTS code is the 10-digit classification that determines the duty you pay. Our PayDuties-powered classifier reads a product photo and returns a candidate code, duty rate and landed-cost estimate — a starting point, which our licensed team then verifies before anything is filed.

What is a CBP filer code, and why does it matter?

A filer code is the identifier CBP issues to a licensed broker to transmit entries. JFS CHB files under 82G, holds a U.S. Customs Broker License, and is CTPAT validated — all three verifiable with CBP rather than taken on trust.
