PAGE & JONES INC.

Page & Jones, Inc. has been a fixture in the international shipping community since 1892, making it one of the oldest and most respected customs brokers and freight forwarders operating along the Gulf Coast. Headquartered at 52 N. Jackson Street in Mobile, Alabama, the company also maintains branch offices in New Orleans, Panama City, and Pensacola — giving clients broad coverage across key southern US ports of entry.

For importers searching for a customs broker near the Port of Mobile or the broader Gulf region, Page & Jones offers a full range of trade services. Their import and export clearance capabilities cover everything from CBP entry types and HTS code classification to importer security filing (ISF) and coordination with partner government agencies when shipments require multi-agency review. The firm's compliance leadership, including a dedicated Vice President of Regulatory & Compliance, ensures clients stay current with evolving US import requirements and customs bond requirements — whether they need a continuous customs bond or a single-entry bond.

One of the firm's standout offerings is its duty drawback program, which helps qualifying importers and exporters recover previously paid duties — a service that requires precise record-keeping and deep knowledge of CBP regulations. Page & Jones also handles project cargo, a specialized area requiring careful coordination of oversized or high-value shipments through complex logistics chains.

Ship agency and chartering services set Page & Jones apart from many traditional customs brokers. This capability reflects the company's deep roots in maritime commerce and its ability to serve vessel owners, operators, and charterers calling at Gulf Coast ports. Combined with cargo insurance and bond services, clients have a single point of contact for a broad spectrum of trade and logistics needs.

The company's technology platform supports shipment tracking and document management, helping clients maintain visibility throughout the import and export lifecycle. For businesses conducting a customs compliance audit or seeking guidance on formal vs. informal entry customs procedures, schedule B vs. HTS code distinctions, or section 321 de minimis thresholds, Page & Jones brings over a century of institutional knowledge to bear. Their global network further extends their reach beyond the Gulf, supporting clients with international freight coordination across multiple trade lanes.
