About Intermountain CHB Inc
Established in 2006, Intermountain CHB Inc is Utah's only true independent customs brokerage company, headquartered in Murray, UT. As a nationally permitted customs broker with Remote Location Filing (RLF) capabilities, Intermountain CHB clears freight into any U.S. port of entry on behalf of importers across the Intermountain West and beyond. The firm handles a broad range of import product categories—including mining machinery, furniture, textiles, rugs, and sporting goods—and manages regulatory filings with agencies such as the FDA, EPA, and FCC. Importers turn to Intermountain CHB for responsive communication, experienced staff, and hands-on ownership that larger brokerages often can't match.
Intermountain CHB Inc has served U.S. importers since 2006, building a reputation as Utah's only independent customs house broker. Operating from Murray, Utah, the company holds a CBP broker license under filer code 85E and is authorized as a nationally permitted customs broker—meaning it can file entries at any port in the United States through Remote Location Filing (RLF). This makes Intermountain CHB a practical choice not just for businesses in Utah and the broader Intermountain region, but for importers anywhere in the country who want a boutique brokerage with direct ownership access and experienced staff.
While many importers searching for a customs broker near them default to brokers clustered at major coastal ports like Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, or Miami, Intermountain CHB demonstrates that geography is no barrier to quality customs compliance service. The firm files electronically through ACE and maintains EDI capabilities to work efficiently with freight forwarders, carriers, and CBP across all major entry points.
The brokerage has developed particular expertise in product categories that matter to the Intermountain West's economy: mining machinery and heavy equipment, furniture, textiles, rugs, and sporting goods. This product-level familiarity translates into accurate Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification, proper valuation, and smooth entry processing—reducing the risk of delays, exams, or penalties for importers.
Intermountain CHB's service offering covers the full customs clearance lifecycle. The team handles Import Security Filing (ISF) well ahead of vessel departure, prepares formal customs entries, coordinates Other Government Agency (OGA) releases involving the FDA, EPA, and FCC, and manages in-bond movements between ports or for export. For importers operating out of or warehousing goods in a Foreign Trade Zone, Intermountain CHB handles FTZ entries and withdrawals. The firm also provides carnet clearance services and trade show coordination—useful for companies bringing commercial samples or exhibition equipment into the U.S. temporarily.
Post-entry audit support and customs bond placement round out the firm's capabilities, giving importers a single point of contact for compliance both at the time of entry and after the fact. Importers who value direct communication, visible ownership, and a team genuinely familiar with their product lines will find Intermountain CHB a strong alternative to larger, more transactional brokerage operations.
