About BCB International Inc

BCB International Inc is a full-service customs broker located in Buffalo, New York, strategically positioned at the US-Canada border. Since 1982, this owner-operated firm has specialized in cross-border trade between the United States and Canada, providing comprehensive customs brokerage, compliance support, and logistics services. With expertise in both US and Canadian customs regulations, BCB International serves importers and exporters requiring seamless border clearance for ocean, air, and ground shipments through the Buffalo-Niagara gateway.

BCB International Inc operates as a licensed US customs broker from their Buffalo, New York location at 1010 Niagara Street, serving as a critical partner for companies engaged in US-Canada cross-border trade. For importers searching for a customs broker in New York with binational expertise, BCB International offers a unique advantage: full-service customs brokerage capabilities on both sides of the border.

Founded in 1982 and proudly owner-operated for over four decades, BCB International has built its reputation on understanding the complexities of cross-border commerce. Their Buffalo location positions them ideally for companies moving goods between the United States and Canada, whether through the Peace Bridge, other regional border crossings, or via air and ocean freight that clears through the Buffalo-Niagara customs district. Similar to how a customs broker in Laredo Texas specializes in Mexico trade or a customs broker in Miami focuses on Latin American imports, BCB International has developed specialized expertise in the Canadian market.

The firm provides comprehensive US customs brokerage services including customs entry preparation, classification support, regulatory compliance consulting, ISF filing, and ongoing support for import and export processes. Their Canadian customs brokerage division offers parallel services including EDI release, import and export permits, duty recovery programs, and management of ocean, air, and RIV (Registrar of Imported Vehicles) imports. This dual capability eliminates the need for importers to work with separate brokers on each side of the border.

BCB International's technology-driven approach includes dedicated PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System) and PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) tracking capabilities, specialized email channels for different shipment types, and integrated customer portals for real-time shipment visibility. Their centralized warehouse and distribution center supports companies requiring warehousing, consolidation, and distribution services in addition to customs clearance. For businesses managing supply chains that cross the northern border—whether automotive parts, machinery, consumer goods, food products, or industrial materials—BCB International provides the local expertise and binational infrastructure that larger national brokers may lack in the Buffalo market.
