Oriental Logistics Customs Brokerage Inc

Oriental Logistics Customs Brokerage Inc operates as a licensed U.S. customs broker in Miami, Florida, under CBP filer code 8PQ. Miami's geographic position makes it one of the most strategically important import hubs in the country — a natural gateway for goods flowing from Latin America, South America, the Caribbean, and transatlantic routes from Europe and West Africa. Importers in these trade lanes who need a customs broker near them with genuine regional expertise will find Oriental Logistics well-situated to handle their clearance needs.

The firm supports commercial importers through the full lifecycle of a customs entry. This includes HTS code classification — an area where accuracy directly affects duty liability — as well as preparation and submission of CBP entry types ranging from formal consumption entries to informal entries for lower-value shipments. Understanding formal vs informal entry customs thresholds, and how section 321 de minimis rules may apply, is essential knowledge for any importer managing high-frequency or mixed-value shipment programs.

For importers establishing new supply chains, Oriental Logistics can assist with customs bond requirements, including securing a continuous customs bond that covers all entries filed throughout the year rather than single-transaction bonds. A continuous bond is typically required for importers who clear goods regularly and is a foundational element of any compliant import program.

Importer Security Filing (ISF) is another core service relevant to ocean freight shipments — CBP requires ISF submission at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at a foreign port. Failure to file correctly exposes importers to significant penalties, making accurate ISF filing a critical step in the clearance process.

Miami is also a common point of entry for consumer goods, textiles and apparel, food and beverage products, electronics, and pharmaceuticals — all commodity categories that carry their own partner government agency (PGA) requirements beyond standard CBP review. Oriental Logistics' location positions it to navigate FDA, USDA, and other agency-specific entry requirements that frequently apply to shipments clearing through South Florida ports.

Importers looking to understand their HTS code classification, review their customs compliance posture, or explore whether a duty drawback program applies to their operations are encouraged to contact Oriental Logistics directly. The firm can be reached by phone at 786-845-0781.
