International Trade Customs Broker LLC

International Trade Customs Broker LLC (ITCB) is a full-service licensed customs brokerage headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the District View Plaza on Fernandez Juncos Avenue. With a team carrying more than 25 years of combined experience in customs clearance and trade logistics, ITCB has built a reputation as one of Puerto Rico's most capable and versatile brokerage operations.

Importing into Puerto Rico presents a distinct regulatory landscape compared to the continental United States. Shipments arriving in San Juan are subject to both U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirements and Puerto Rico's local excise tax system — a dual compliance burden that demands specialized expertise. ITCB is well-equipped to manage both, offering local excise tax clearance alongside the standard CBP entry process. This makes ITCB a particularly valuable partner for businesses importing consumer goods, food and beverage products, alcohol, tobacco, and general merchandise into the island.

ITCB's service catalog is notably broad. The firm handles all formal and informal entry types, including antidumping and countervailing duty (ADD/CVD) entries, quota entries, Temporary Importation under Bond (TIB), and warehouse entries. For regulated cargo, ITCB coordinates clearances with the FDA, USDA, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and Department of Transportation (DOT). Federal Alcohol and Tobacco clearance is another core specialty — a critical service given Puerto Rico's robust spirits and tobacco import market.

Beyond standard customs entry, ITCB provides Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) services, in-bond shipment management, CF7512 filings for Immediate Transportation, Transportation and Exportation, and combinations thereof. The firm also assists importers with binding rulings, protests, and drawback claims — compliance and duty recovery tools that experienced importers rely on to manage costs and reduce risk.

On the logistics side, ITCB operates a Container Freight Station (CFS) and offers four-wall warehousing, trucking, last-mile deliveries, distribution, and both FTL and LTL inland freight transportation across Puerto Rico. Milestone and landed cost reporting give clients full visibility into their supply chains.

For importers looking for a customs broker in San Juan or across Puerto Rico who can handle complex regulatory requirements, multi-agency clearances, and end-to-end logistics under one roof, International Trade Customs Broker LLC represents a well-established option with the depth of experience to match.
