PEGGY BURROWS

Peggy Burrows CHB is a licensed U.S. customs brokerage operating out of Spring, Texas, in the greater Houston metropolitan area. As a family-owned firm with more than 11 years in business, Peggy Burrows CHB has carved out a niche serving importers who value direct communication and hands-on expertise over the impersonal service that often comes with larger brokerages. The firm operates under CBP filer code KH9 and is authorized to transact customs business on behalf of importers across the United States.

Spring, TX sits within proximity of the Port of Houston — one of the busiest ports in the United States and a critical gateway for cargo moving between the Gulf Coast, Latin America, and global supply chains. Importers working with Peggy Burrows CHB benefit from a broker who understands the operational realities of this regional trade corridor, including the documentation requirements, partner government agency (PGA) coordination, and entry procedures relevant to goods arriving at Gulf Coast ports of entry.

The brokerage specializes in U.S. customs entry preparation, covering both formal and informal entry types depending on the value and nature of the shipment. This includes advising clients on customs bond requirements — whether a single-entry bond or a continuous customs bond is appropriate — and ensuring that importer security filing (ISF) submissions are completed accurately and on time for ocean freight shipments. Proper ISF filing is a CBP requirement for all ocean imports, and errors can result in costly penalties.

HTS code classification is a foundational service for any customs broker, and Peggy Burrows CHB brings real-world experience to this technical task. Correctly classifying goods under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule determines the applicable duty rate, eligibility for trade agreement benefits, and compliance with partner government agency requirements from agencies like the FDA, USDA, or EPA. The firm works across a variety of commodity types, making it a practical choice for importers of consumer goods, food and beverage products, textiles and apparel, and general merchandise.

For importers exploring ways to recover duties already paid, duty drawback programs — including manufacturing drawback customs claims — represent a meaningful cost-recovery opportunity that many businesses overlook. Peggy Burrows CHB's familiarity with CBP entry types and compliance processes positions the firm to assist clients in identifying and pursuing these programs where applicable.
