Lizbeth G. Loredo-Moreno

Lizbeth G. Loredo-Moreno holds an active CBP customs broker license and operates out of San Diego, California — one of the most active ports of entry in the United States. The San Diego region encompasses several major land border crossings into Mexico, including Otay Mesa Commercial Port of Entry, making it a critical hub for importers sourcing goods from Mexican manufacturers, maquiladoras, and cross-border supply chains. Brokers licensed in this corridor frequently handle a wide range of commercial import transactions spanning consumer goods, textiles and apparel, automotive parts, electronics, food and beverage products, and manufactured goods moving northbound under USMCA trade provisions.

For importers navigating US customs requirements, working with a licensed broker in a high-volume border market like San Diego carries practical advantages. A local broker familiar with CBP's San Diego Field Office operations understands port-specific procedures, cargo release timelines, and the documentation standards required for smooth entry processing. This includes preparation of formal customs entries, classification of goods under the harmonized tariff schedule (HTS), and calculation of applicable customs duties.

Key compliance tasks that importers typically rely on a licensed customs broker for include Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions — required at least 24 hours before ocean freight is loaded at origin — customs bond requirements, and proper HTS code classification to determine duty liability. Importers working with Lizbeth can also explore options such as the duty drawback program, which allows eligible importers to recover duties paid on goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed.

San Diego's proximity to the Pacific Rim and its direct land connection to Baja California makes it a natural point of entry for a diverse range of import commodities. Whether you're establishing a recurring import program, need assistance resolving a held shipment through the ACE portal, or are setting up customs procedures for a new product line, a licensed broker with local experience is a valuable compliance partner. Importers seeking to understand their obligations under CBP regulations — from Section 321 de minimis thresholds to the USITC tariff database — benefit from working with a credentialed broker who can guide entry strategy and minimize customs risk.
