Lamaignere Cargo USA LLC

Lamaignere Cargo USA LLC is the U.S. arm of a global freight forwarding and customs brokerage group with over 110 years of continuous operation. Founded in Spain in 1908 as a family business focused on ship agency, stowage, and customs services, Lamaignere has grown into a presence spanning 14 countries across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. The company entered the American market in 2016 with the incorporation of Lamaignere Cargo USA, LLC, based in Miami, Florida — one of the most strategically important ports of entry in the United States for trade with Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe.

Miami's position as a gateway for international commerce makes it an ideal base for a customs broker with Lamaignere's global network. Importers sourcing goods from South America, Central America, Spain, or through transshipment hubs in Panama can benefit from the firm's direct relationships in those markets. Whether goods are moving via ocean freight or air freight, Lamaignere Cargo USA is equipped to handle customs entry preparation, HTS code classification using the harmonized tariff schedule, and Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions in accordance with CBP's 10+2 rule.

The firm's industry specializations set it apart from generalist brokers. Lamaignere has documented expertise serving the aerospace and defense sector, solar and photovoltaic energy industries, chemical and laboratory importers, healthcare and pharmaceutical clients, high-value cargo handlers, exhibition and artwork shippers, and automotive and mining supply chains. This depth of vertical knowledge is critical when navigating complex entry requirements, accurate HTS code lookup, or managing customs classification for specialized equipment.

For importers managing recurring shipments, Lamaignere Cargo USA can assist with ACE portal filings, compliance documentation, and identifying eligibility for programs like the duty drawback program or Section 321 de minimis provisions. Proper use of the CBP ACE portal and adherence to ISF filing requirements are areas where experienced brokers like Lamaignere add measurable value — reducing the risk of delays, penalties, and cargo holds at the border.

With its combination of a century-old institutional reputation, a multilingual staff capable of working across Spanish, English, and other languages, and a physical presence in one of the U.S.'s most active international trade hubs, Lamaignere Cargo USA LLC is a capable and credentialed partner for importers seeking reliable customs brokerage in Miami and beyond.
