About RB Americas, LLC
RB Americas, LLC is a licensed U.S. customs broker headquartered in Laredo, Texas — one of the busiest land ports of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border. Operating under CBP filer code NMV, the firm is positioned to handle commercial import clearances moving through Laredo's major crossings, including the World Trade Bridge and Colombia Solidarity Bridge. Laredo consistently ranks as the top U.S. port by trade value for overland cargo, making it a critical gateway for goods manufactured in Mexico and shipped northbound into the United States. RB Americas, LLC serves importers who need accurate HTS code classification, customs entry preparation, and compliant documentation for commercial shipments crossing the southern border.
RB Americas, LLC holds a CBP-issued customs broker license under filer code NMV and operates out of Laredo, Texas — the single highest-volume land port of entry in the United States by total trade value. For importers moving goods northbound from Mexico, having a licensed broker physically present at a Laredo port of entry is a significant operational advantage. Border crossings in this corridor handle an enormous volume of manufactured goods, automotive parts, electronics, consumer goods, and industrial machinery, and RB Americas, LLC is positioned to serve businesses operating in these commodity lanes.
Customs clearance at a land border port involves specific entry type decisions that importers should understand. Depending on the shipment value and commodity, a formal entry may be required — triggering the need for a continuous customs bond or a single entry bond, accurate 10-digit HTS code classification, and coordination with partner government agencies (PGAs) such as the FDA, USDA, or EPA when applicable. RB Americas, LLC can guide importers through these requirements and help determine the correct CBP entry types for each shipment.
For importers new to U.S. trade compliance, understanding the importer of record requirements is foundational. The IOR is legally responsible for ensuring duties are paid and that goods comply with all applicable regulations. RB Americas, LLC works with importers to ensure that entries are filed correctly from the start — including Importer Security Filing (ISF) for any ocean freight components feeding into cross-border supply chains.
The Laredo corridor also sees substantial activity from companies exploring duty savings programs. Importers sourcing from Mexico under USMCA, or those with manufacturing operations on both sides of the border, may qualify for duty drawback programs — including manufacturing drawback or unused merchandise drawback — depending on how goods are processed and re-exported. Proper HTS code classification is essential to any drawback claim, and a licensed broker familiar with the U.S.-Mexico trade environment is well-suited to assist.
Additionally, e-commerce and small-parcel importers crossing the border should be aware of Section 321 de minimis provisions, which allow shipments valued at $800 or less to enter duty-free. RB Americas, LLC serves commercial importers navigating the full spectrum of formal and informal entry customs thresholds across the Laredo port complex. Importers searching for a customs broker near the southern border with direct experience in this high-volume corridor will find RB Americas, LLC a relevant contact for their clearance needs.
