About Logistica Customs Brokerage
Logistica Customs Brokerage, LLC is a licensed US customs brokerage firm headquartered in El Paso, Texas, with additional operations serving the Rio Grande Valley. Founded by Federico E. Felhaber, a CBP-licensed customs broker since 1992, the firm brings over three decades of hands-on experience navigating US-Mexico cross-border trade. With offices positioned along major southern border crossings, Logistica handles customs entry preparation, ISF filing, and tariff classification for importers moving goods through El Paso and the broader Texas-Mexico corridor. The firm also offers cold storage capabilities under the Logicold brand, making them a strong option for importers dealing with temperature-sensitive or perishable cargo. Their filer code E8M reflects an active CBP filing presence at the El Paso port of entry.
Logistica Customs Brokerage, LLC has been a fixture in El Paso's cross-border trade community since its founding by Federico E. Felhaber, a licensed US customs broker with credentials dating back to 1992. Operating from 480 S. Americas Ave. in El Paso, Texas — one of the busiest US-Mexico land border crossings in the country — the firm is strategically positioned to serve importers moving commercial goods, manufactured products, food and agricultural commodities, and perishables northbound from Mexico into the United States.
With a second division serving the Rio Grande Valley, Logistica covers two of the most active trade corridors along the southern border. This dual-location footprint gives importers flexibility when routing shipments through different Texas ports of entry, whether via El Paso/Ciudad Juárez or through the lower Rio Grande Valley crossings near Laredo and McAllen.
One of Logistica's notable differentiators is its Logicold cold storage operation, based at 6001 in El Paso. For importers of perishable goods — fresh produce, refrigerated food products, or temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals — having a customs broker with integrated cold storage infrastructure is a significant operational advantage. Cold chain imports require precise coordination between CBP release, FDA prior notice filings, and physical handling, and Logistica's in-house capability addresses that complexity directly.
From a compliance standpoint, the firm handles the full range of customs formalities required for commercial imports: HTS code classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions meeting CBP's 10+2 rule, customs bond requirements, and ACE portal filings. Importers unfamiliar with how to import goods into the USA — particularly those sourcing from Mexican manufacturers or maquiladoras — will find Logistica's border expertise directly applicable to their supply chain.
The firm's filer code E8M is active at the El Paso port, and their phone line at 915-543-9046 connects importers directly to a team with deep familiarity with CBP procedures at one of the nation's highest-volume land ports. Whether you're dealing with first-time import entries, recurring commercial shipments, or time-sensitive perishable cargo, Logistica Customs Brokerage brings genuine southern border expertise to the table.
