About JK International, Inc.
JK International, Inc. is a CBP-licensed customs broker headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, offering a full suite of international trade services. In addition to customs brokerage, JK International operates as a licensed NVOCC, ocean and air freight forwarder, and indirect air carrier — making it a single-source solution for importers and exporters moving goods through Memphis and beyond. Memphis sits at the heart of one of the country's most significant logistics hubs, home to the FedEx World Hub and a major international airport, positioning JK International to serve high-volume air freight shippers alongside ocean importers routing cargo through major US ports.
JK International, Inc. is a licensed US customs broker and full-service international freight logistics company based in Memphis, Tennessee. Operating from its office at 1255 Lynnfield Road, Suite 216, the firm holds a CBP broker license under filer code JKI and is equipped to handle customs entry preparation and clearance for a broad range of import commodities.
What distinguishes JK International from a traditional customs broker is the breadth of its licensing and capabilities. The company is licensed as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC), an ocean freight forwarder, an air freight forwarder, and an indirect air carrier (IAC) — a combination that allows clients to consolidate their international shipping and customs compliance needs under one roof. For importers who want a single point of accountability from origin to delivery, this integrated model offers meaningful operational advantages.
Memphis is uniquely positioned as one of the most important logistics cities in the United States. As home to the FedEx World Hub — the largest air cargo hub on the planet — Memphis handles an enormous volume of international air freight. JK International's location and indirect air carrier status make it particularly well-suited for companies importing time-sensitive goods via air, whether routed through Memphis International Airport or other major US gateways.
For ocean freight importers, JK International coordinates entry filing and cargo movement for shipments arriving through major seaports, including those on the East and Gulf Coasts, with inland routing to Tennessee and the broader Mid-South region. The company's NVOCC license allows it to issue its own bills of lading and negotiate space with ocean carriers on behalf of shippers.
Importers located in Memphis, across Tennessee, or throughout the Southeast can benefit from working with a locally rooted broker that understands both the regional logistics infrastructure and the federal customs compliance requirements enforced by US Customs and Border Protection. JK International can assist with ISF filings, commodity classification, duty calculation, and coordination with CBP on entry review and release.
For businesses seeking a customs broker capable of handling both the freight forwarding and the regulatory compliance side of international trade, JK International, Inc. represents a well-rounded option in the Memphis market.
