About RM CUSTOMHOUSE BROKERS INC.
RM Customhouse Brokers, Inc. is a licensed customs broker and public warehouse entity headquartered in El Paso, Texas, serving importers and exporters at one of the busiest US-Mexico border crossings in the country. Established in 2001, the firm handles all types of customs transactions — from customs clearance and bond procurement to warehousing and cargo forwarding. As a member of the NCBFAA, BBB El Paso, and a CTPAT participant, RM Customhouse Brokers brings over two decades of border trade experience to clients ranging from small businesses to large commercial shippers. Their El Paso location makes them a natural fit for companies moving goods across the Paso del Norte region, whether navigating formal entries, informal entries, or complex customs issues requiring direct CBP interaction.
RM Customhouse Brokers, Inc. has been a fixture in El Paso's trade community since 2001, operating as both a CBP-licensed customs broker agency (filer code AJL) and a licensed public warehouse entity. Located at the heart of one of the highest-volume US-Mexico land ports in the United States, the firm is well-positioned to assist importers and exporters who need reliable customs clearance support for cross-border shipments moving through El Paso and the greater Paso del Norte corridor.
The firm handles the full spectrum of customs transactions. For importers, this includes customs entry preparation, ISF 10+2 filing (Importer Security Filing), HTS code classification using the 10-digit tariff schedule, and determining the correct CBP entry type — whether a formal entry for commercial shipments above the de minimis threshold or an informal entry for lower-value goods. Understanding the difference between formal vs. informal entry customs procedures is critical for cost management, and RM Customhouse Brokers guides clients through those decisions based on shipment value, commodity type, and importer of record requirements.
RM Customhouse Brokers also assists clients with customs bond procurement, including both single entry bonds for one-time shipments and continuous customs bonds for importers with regular, recurring cargo. Their public warehousing capability adds another layer of value — clients can store goods under CBP supervision, facilitating bonded warehouse operations, merchandise examinations, or staged distribution without immediate duty liability.
As a CTPAT participant, the firm is aligned with CBP's trusted trader framework, which can translate to fewer examinations and faster processing times for qualifying clients. Membership in the NCBFAA (National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America) and the WTNMCBA reflects the firm's commitment to professional standards in the customs brokerage industry.
For businesses importing manufactured goods, industrial equipment, consumer products, or textiles from Mexico, RM Customhouse Brokers offers the local knowledge and CBP relationship experience that a national freight forwarder often cannot replicate. Whether your question involves partner government agency requirements, schedule B versus HTS code distinctions for export documentation, or navigating a customs hold, their El Paso team has handled it before. Reach them directly at (915) 564-0582 to discuss your import or export requirements.
