Platinum Cargo Logistics, headquartered at 5181 Ward Road, Suite 101 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, is a full-service customs broker and global transportation company that has been in operation for over two decades. The firm is 100% employee-owned, which reflects a company culture built around accountability and long-term client relationships rather than short-term transactions. Licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under filer code A88, Platinum Cargo Logistics handles the full spectrum of US import requirements — from initial HTS code classification and customs entry preparation to importer security filing (ISF) and customs bond requirements, including continuous customs bond procurement.
For importers navigating the complexities of CBP entry types, Platinum Cargo Logistics provides expert guidance on formal vs. informal entry thresholds, Section 321 de minimis shipments, and schedule B vs. HTS code distinctions that can affect duty liability. Their customs compliance team is equipped to assist with customs compliance audits, partner government agency (PGA) filings, and HTS code classification across a broad range of product categories — including textiles and apparel, electronics, automotive parts, pharmaceuticals, and machinery.
Beyond customs brokerage, Platinum Cargo Logistics operates as a comprehensive logistics provider with capabilities in domestic air and ground transport, international air and ocean freight, transborder (U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico) shipping, white glove delivery, on-board courier services, and warehouse and distribution. Colorado-based importers moving goods through Denver International Airport or overland via transborder corridors will find the company's geographic positioning and multi-modal infrastructure particularly valuable.
The company's industry specializations span a wide range: automotive, aviation and aerospace, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, refinery and mining, retail and fashion, robotics, telecom and technology, e-commerce, government, entertainment, and trade shows. This breadth allows Platinum Cargo Logistics to serve both high-volume commercial importers and specialized project cargo clients with unique regulatory or handling requirements.
