Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a customs broker and a freight forwarder?
A customs broker is licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to file your import entry and pay duties on your behalf. A freight forwarder arranges the physical movement of your cargo — booking ocean, air or truck space. Many companies do both; their profiles here show every license we found.
How do you verify the companies listed?
Every listing comes from an official license record: the CBP list of permitted customs brokers and FMCSA operating-authority records for freight forwarders and property brokers. We show the license numbers so you can confirm them yourself. We never invent ratings or reviews.
Is logistic.broker free to use?
Yes. Searching the directory, checking licenses and using the calculators is free, with no sign-up. The site is supported by advertising, which never changes which companies are listed or their order.
Do I need a customs broker to import into the U.S.?
Not legally — an importer can file its own entries — but most businesses use a licensed customs broker because entries, HTS classification and duty rules are complex and mistakes cause delays and penalties.
