About sandra De Leon
Sandra De Leon is a Customs House Broker (CHB) licensed since 2001, operating out of the Homestead and Miami, Florida area under filer code B9L. Her firm handles formal and informal customs entries, ISF 10+2 filings, and in-bond movements including IT, TE, and IE transfers. Bilingual in Spanish and Portuguese, Sandra serves a diverse importer base across South Florida — a region defined by heavy trade with Latin America and the Caribbean. She is reachable by phone, text, and WhatsApp and provides 24/7 availability for customs inquiries and entry processing.
Sandra De Leon, CHB has been offering customs brokerage services to importers in the Miami and Homestead, Florida area since 2001. Licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under filer code B9L, Sandra brings over two decades of hands-on experience navigating the complex regulatory landscape governing international trade into the United States.
Located in one of the country's most active trade corridors, Sandra's practice is well-suited to importers moving goods through Miami International Airport and South Florida seaports — gateways closely tied to Latin American, Caribbean, and South American supply chains. Her bilingual capabilities in Spanish and Portuguese make her an especially strong resource for importers based in or sourcing from Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and other Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking markets.
Sandra handles both formal and informal customs entries, helping importers understand when each is appropriate based on shipment value and commodity type. She also manages in-bond shipments under CBP Form 7512, covering Immediate Transportation (IT), Transportation and Exportation (TE), and Immediate Exportation (IE) movements. For importers new to the process, Sandra can walk through importer of record requirements, the difference between a single entry bond and a continuous customs bond, and how import bond requirements apply to their specific goods.
ISF 10+2 filing is a core service offered, ensuring ocean freight importers meet CBP's Importer Security Filing deadline before cargo departs the foreign port. Errors or late ISF submissions can result in costly penalties — Sandra's experience helps importers avoid those pitfalls.
Sandra also coordinates with Partner Government Agencies (PGAs), which is critical for commodities subject to additional oversight from agencies like the FDA, USDA, EPA, or FWS. Understanding which other government agencies customs enforcement applies to at the port of entry is essential for compliant importation, and Sandra guides clients through those requirements.
