With over 31 years in the customs brokerage industry, the firm provides import entry preparation, excise tax clearance, trucking coordination, and warehousing services for businesses importing goods into Puerto Rico. The firm holds CTPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) certification, reflecting a strong commitment to cargo security and supply chain integrity.

Jaime Maduro LLC has been a fixture in Puerto Rico's customs brokerage community for more than three decades. Founded and operating out of Guaynabo, PR — within Foreign Trade Zone #61 at the Centro Mercantil Internacional Administrative Building on State Road 165 — the firm is strategically positioned to serve importers moving goods through the island's primary ports of entry, including the Port of San Juan.
With CBP filer code 85T, Jaime Maduro LLC handles a meaningful volume of import transactions, as evidenced by thousands of entries filed annually. The firm's services extend well beyond basic customs entry preparation. Importers working with Jaime Maduro can access trucking coordination, bonded warehousing, and excise tax clearance — a particularly important service in Puerto Rico, where the Hacienda (Puerto Rico Treasury Department) administers excise taxes on many categories of imported merchandise including vehicles, electronics, alcohol, and certain consumer goods.
The firm's CTPAT certification sets it apart for importers who prioritize supply chain security. CTPAT — Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism — is a voluntary CBP program that validates a company's commitment to preventing cargo from being contaminated with illegal substances, weapons, or other contraband. Holding this certification signals that Jaime Maduro LLC meets rigorous security standards, which can also benefit importers by reducing the frequency of CBP examinations.
Puerto Rico presents a unique customs environment: while the island is a U.S. territory, it operates under its own tax and excise framework, and importers must navigate both federal CBP requirements and local Puerto Rico regulations. Having a customs broker with 31-plus years of experience in this specific market means importers benefit from institutional knowledge that goes beyond what a mainland-based broker might offer.
Jaime Maduro LLC's import activity data reflects experience across a wide range of commodity types, making the firm a capable partner for businesses in retail, distribution, manufacturing, and beyond. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and can be reached at (787) 707-1863 or by email at jmaduro@jmaduro.com.
