BARRY INTERNATIONAL FORWARDING, INC

Barry International Forwarding, Inc. operates as a licensed customs broker in Braintree, Massachusetts, holding U.S. Customs Broker License E86. Positioned strategically near Boston's major port facilities and Logan International Airport, the company serves as a critical link for importers and exporters throughout New England requiring customs clearance and international logistics services.

For businesses searching for a customs broker in the Boston area, Barry International offers the dual advantage of licensed customs brokerage combined with freight forwarding capabilities. This integrated approach allows importers to coordinate both the international transportation and customs clearance of their shipments through a single point of contact. The company's import manager oversees customs entry preparation, tariff classification, and compliance documentation, while their export manager handles outbound shipment documentation and regulatory requirements.

What does a customs broker do? At Barry International, the customs brokerage function includes preparing and filing customs entries, calculating duties and taxes, ensuring compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, and serving as the importer's representative during the clearance process. The company handles ISF (Importer Security Filing) requirements, coordinates examinations when necessary, and manages post-entry issues that may arise. Their location in Braintree provides convenient access to both maritime cargo arriving at the Port of Boston and air freight clearing through Logan International Airport.

As an American customs broker serving the Boston market, Barry International competes with customs brokers in major trade hubs like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Laredo, Texas, but offers the advantage of local expertise in New England's specific trade patterns and port procedures. While businesses in other regions might work with a customs broker in Miami for Latin American imports or a customs broker in Los Angeles for Asian trade, Boston-area importers benefit from Barry International's familiarity with regional infrastructure and Northeast market conditions. Understanding how to become a customs broker requires passing the U.S. Customs Broker License Examination and maintaining continuing education—credentials that Barry International's licensed staff maintain to serve their clients effectively.
