MP CUSTOM BROKERS, INC.

MP Custom Brokers, Inc. is a licensed customs brokerage operating out of Roselle, Illinois, under CBP filer code 9TE. Situated in DuPage County just miles from O'Hare International Airport, the firm is well-positioned to serve commercial importers whose freight moves through one of the United States' most active air cargo gateways. Whether you're importing consumer goods, apparel, electronics, or general merchandise, the brokers at MP Custom Brokers are experienced in preparing and submitting entries accurately through CBP's ACE portal.

A critical part of successful importing is correct HTS code classification. Misclassification can result in overpaid duties, compliance audits, or costly penalties. MP Custom Brokers applies working knowledge of the HTS code classification guide and the USITC tariff database to ensure that each shipment is classified properly from the outset. Their team understands CBP entry types explained under standard commercial import scenarios and can advise clients on appropriate entry selection based on shipment value, origin, and commodity type.

For ocean freight shipments, MP Custom Brokers handles Importer Security Filing (ISF), the mandatory 10+2 filing requirement that must be submitted at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at a foreign port. Timely and accurate ISF filing reduces the risk of CBP holds and liquidated damages. The firm also assists clients in meeting customs bond requirements — including the procurement and maintenance of continuous customs bonds — which are required for importers who bring in commercial shipments on a regular basis.

Importers who qualify for duty savings programs can also discuss eligibility for duty drawback claims with the team. The duty drawback program allows companies to recover duties paid on imported goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed, a meaningful benefit for manufacturers and distributors with international supply chains.

MP Custom Brokers has posted job openings for Entry Writers and Import Coordinators, indicating an active and growing operation equipped to handle increased client volume. The team includes Poonam Parekh, a licensed customs broker with direct experience at this firm. For businesses in the Chicago metro area seeking reliable customs clearance support, HTS classification guidance, or help navigating US import requirements, MP Custom Brokers, Inc. offers experienced, licensed representation close to home.
