Maria del Carmen Granillo is a federally licensed US customs broker serving the Laredo, Texas trade corridor under the business name CLG Group US Custombrokers. Her office at 813 NAFTA Blvd places her at the heart of one of the most active freight corridors in North America — Laredo consistently ranks as the number one US land port by trade value, processing hundreds of billions of dollars in US-Mexico commerce annually.
For importers navigating US import requirements along the southern border, working with a locally established broker like CLG Group US Custombrokers offers practical advantages.
