FARRIS CUSTOMS BROKERS INC

Farris Customs Brokers Inc operates as a full-service customs brokerage and freight forwarding company based in Fort Myers, Florida, holding U.S. Customs broker license N98. As both a licensed customs broker and freight forwarder (IATA code 0118564), the company offers integrated logistics solutions that combine customs clearance expertise with transportation services throughout Florida and beyond.

For importers searching for a customs broker in Florida, Farris provides capabilities comparable to what businesses might find with a customs broker in Miami or other major gateway cities, but with a Southwest Florida focus. Their Fort Myers headquarters at 12244 Treeline Ave Unit 8 serves as a central hub for processing customs entries, while additional offices in Sarasota and Jacksonville extend their geographic reach across the state. This multi-location presence allows the company to support importers with varied port of entry requirements, whether goods arrive through Florida seaports or international airports.

What does a customs broker do? Farris Customs Brokers handles the critical compliance and documentation work required when goods cross U.S. borders—preparing and filing customs entries, calculating duties and taxes, ensuring regulatory compliance, and coordinating with Customs and Border Protection. Beyond basic brokerage functions, their service portfolio includes air freight forwarding for time-sensitive shipments, ocean freight coordination for container imports, and domestic trucking to deliver cleared goods to final destinations throughout the Southeast.

While major import hubs attract customs brokers in cities like Los Angeles for Asia imports, New York and Houston for diverse international trade, or Laredo Texas for Mexico border crossings, Florida-based brokers like Farris serve importers with Latin American and Caribbean supply chains, European connections, and domestic distribution needs. The company's positioning in Fort Myers—a growing Southwest Florida commercial center—provides access to Florida's extensive logistics infrastructure while offering more personalized service than large-volume gateway operations.

Farris operates Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, with contact available at (239) 481-4500 or imports@farrischb.com. Their integrated approach combining customs expertise with freight forwarding and trucking makes them a single-point solution for companies importing consumer goods, machinery, and other commercial merchandise into Florida markets.
