ROBERTSON FORWARDING COMPANY INC

Robertson Forwarding Company Inc holds a CBP customs broker license under filer code BFL, with its listed location in Miami, Florida — one of the most strategically significant import hubs in the United States. The Port of Miami and Miami International Airport together handle hundreds of billions of dollars in annual trade, with particular strength in cargo flows from Latin America, the Caribbean Basin, and Southern Europe. A customs broker operating in this market must be fluent in a wide range of CBP entry types, partner government agency (PGA) requirements, and trade compliance considerations that apply to goods moving through Florida's ports of entry.

For importers working with Robertson Forwarding, core services center on customs clearance and entry preparation — whether that involves formal entries for commercial shipments above the de minimis threshold or informal entries for lower-value cargo. Understanding the distinction between formal and informal entry customs processing is essential for managing both cost and compliance, and an experienced Miami-based broker can guide importers through those decisions. The firm also handles importer security filing (ISF 10+2), which must be submitted to CBP at least 24 hours before a vessel's departure for any ocean freight shipment bound for the United States.

Miami's trade profile also creates demand for knowledge of HTS code classification — specifically 10-digit HTS codes used on CBP entry documents — and their relationship to Schedule B codes used for export reporting. Accurate classification directly affects duty liability, and misclassification is one of the most common compliance risks importers face. Robertson Forwarding's position in Miami means the firm works with importers across consumer goods, textiles and apparel, food and beverage, and general merchandise categories that flow heavily through South Florida.

Additional trade services relevant to importers in this market include continuous customs bond management and single entry bond procurement — both required for formal entry filings. Importers with recurring shipments typically benefit from a continuous bond, while single entry bonds serve lower-frequency or one-time import transactions. Duty drawback programs, including unused merchandise drawback and manufacturing drawback, may also be relevant for Miami-area importers who re-export goods or use imported materials in U.S. production.

For businesses seeking a licensed customs broker near Miami with knowledge of CBP regulations, importer of record requirements, and the complex logistics environment of South Florida's ports, Robertson Forwarding Company Inc is a listed and licensed option in the CBP broker directory.
