KATHRYN L SARGES

Kathryn L. Sarges Customhouse Broker has been a fixture of the Connecticut import community since 1996, when Kathryn established her independent practice in Middletown, CT. With nearly 30 years of continuous operation under her CBP license, she represents one of the more tenured independent customs brokers in the New England region — a distinction that carries real weight for importers who value continuity, experience, and direct broker access.

Based at 889 Atkins Street in Middletown, Connecticut, the firm serves importers throughout the state and surrounding region. Connecticut's business landscape includes a diverse mix of manufacturers, distributors, and specialty importers, and Kathryn's general brokerage practice is well-suited to support that range. Whether a client is importing commercial goods through the Port of New York/New Jersey, receiving air freight at Bradley International Airport, or managing shipments through other East Coast entry points, having an experienced customs broker coordinating the process helps avoid costly delays and compliance issues.

Before launching her customs brokerage, Kathryn worked in warehouse operations at GE, a background that informs her practical understanding of how imported goods move through the supply chain — from port clearance to final delivery. That operational perspective is an advantage for importers who need a broker who understands not just the paperwork, but the logistics realities on the ground.

As an independent, owner-operated firm, Kathryn L. Sarges Customhouse Broker offers importers direct access to a licensed professional rather than a rotating cast of staff agents. For businesses that have outgrown informal importing arrangements or are establishing new import programs, working with a licensed customs broker like Kathryn ensures that entries are filed accurately, duties are properly assessed, and CBP regulations are followed — reducing exposure to penalties and cargo holds.

Services provided by the firm encompass the core functions of customs brokerage: preparing and filing customs entries, calculating applicable duties and tariffs, coordinating with CBP on release of cargo, and advising clients on import compliance requirements. Importers in Connecticut looking for a customs broker with deep experience, an established license, and a straightforward working relationship will find Kathryn L. Sarges Customhouse Broker a strong candidate to evaluate.
