MARTHA ALICIA DAVILA

Martha Alicia Davila is a federally licensed customs broker operating out of Brownsville, Texas, a major commercial port city situated on the Rio Grande directly across from Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Her filer code, ANG, identifies her as a permitted broker authorized to file entries through CBP's ACE portal on behalf of importers bringing goods into the United States.

Brownsville is one of the most active land border crossing points in the country, processing a high volume of cross-border shipments between the U.S. and Mexico daily. Importers shipping manufactured goods, textiles and apparel, food and agricultural products, consumer merchandise, and industrial components through the Brownsville port of entry rely on locally licensed brokers who understand the specific procedures, carrier requirements, and CBP enforcement priorities at this port.

A customs broker in Brownsville handles the full range of entry-related services that importers require to comply with U.S. import requirements. This includes preparing and submitting customs entry documentation, classifying goods using the HTS code list, calculating applicable duties and fees, and ensuring compliance with CBP regulations. For ocean or multimodal shipments, Importer Security Filing — commonly known as ISF filing — must be submitted at least 72 hours before cargo is loaded at the foreign port, and failure to meet ISF filing requirements can result in significant penalties.

Importers working with Martha Alicia Davila can expect assistance navigating customs bond requirements, including continuous customs bond arrangements that cover multiple shipments throughout the year. A continuous bond simplifies the import process for businesses that import regularly and eliminates the need to post a single-entry bond for every shipment.

For companies importing goods under Section 321 de minimis provisions, or exploring whether their shipments qualify for duty exemptions, working with an experienced broker familiar with the applicable regulations is essential. Additionally, importers who have paid duties on goods later exported or used in manufacturing may have grounds to file a duty drawback claim under the duty drawback program — recovering a portion of those duties through a formal CBP process.

Brownsville's proximity to Mexico's manufacturing interior and maquiladora zones makes it a critical node for supply chains that source from Mexican facilities. Whether you are importing for the first time or looking for a licensed broker at the Brownsville port who understands the nuances of US-Mexico cross-border trade, Martha Alicia Davila can be contacted directly at 956-544-4575.
