JCI LOGISTICS LLC

JCI Logistics LLC has built its reputation as a trusted, family-owned customs broker and freight forwarder serving importers and exporters from its base in Geneva, Illinois — a western suburb of Chicago. With a combined 60 years of experience across the logistics industry, the JCI team brings deep operational knowledge to every shipment they manage, from initial booking through customs clearance and final delivery.

As a licensed U.S. customs broker (filer code: JCI), JCI Logistics handles the full customs entry process for commercial importers, ensuring that shipments clear CBP efficiently and in compliance with all applicable regulations. For businesses searching for a Chicago customs broker with hands-on experience across multiple modes of transport, JCI offers a single point of contact for ocean, air, and ground logistics — reducing the complexity of managing multiple vendors.

JCI operates as a full-service Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI), giving clients access to a broad range of ocean freight options including FCL and LCL shipments. Their air freight division creates customized programs with multiple routing and service-level options, useful for time-sensitive cargo. Cargo insurance is also available on a door-to-door basis, providing importers with end-to-end protection for their supply chain investments.

Beyond freight and customs brokerage, JCI offers supply chain consulting and freight support services including packing and crating — capabilities that matter for importers dealing with oversized, fragile, or high-value cargo. Their freight support services reflect the kind of full-service approach typically found at larger logistics firms, delivered with the attentiveness of a family-run operation.

JCI Logistics maintains an international office presence in Hong Kong, positioning them well for importers sourcing goods from Asia. This makes them particularly relevant for businesses moving consumer goods, electronics, machinery, or manufactured products from Chinese or broader Asian suppliers through West Coast or Midwest distribution networks. Their federal contracting activity further underscores their experience handling professional import and export customs brokerage services at a commercial scale.

Importers in the greater Chicago area — including those in Geneva, Aurora, Naperville, and surrounding communities — looking for a locally accessible customs broker with genuine international reach will find JCI Logistics to be a practical, experienced option.
