About Sumeya Gibril
Sumeya Gibril is a CBP-licensed customs broker based in Springfield, Virginia, operating under filer code DME. Located in the greater Washington, D.C. metro area, Gibril is positioned to serve importers requiring customs clearance support across a range of commercial shipment types. Springfield's proximity to Dulles International Airport and major East Coast freight corridors makes this an accessible option for importers moving air and ocean cargo into the mid-Atlantic region. Whether you need assistance with customs entry preparation, importer of record requirements, or proper HTS code classification, Sumeya Gibril offers licensed brokerage services to help commercial importers navigate CBP requirements. For importers searching for a customs broker near me in Northern Virginia or the D.C. area, Gibril represents a locally licensed resource with direct CBP credentials.
Sumeya Gibril is a licensed U.S. customs broker holding CBP filer code DME, operating out of Springfield, Virginia — a suburb of Washington, D.C. situated within close range of Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), one of the busiest air cargo gateways on the East Coast. This geographic positioning makes Gibril a practical resource for commercial importers moving freight through Dulles or routing cargo into the broader mid-Atlantic region.
For importers working through the entry process, having a locally licensed broker who understands CBP requirements at nearby ports of entry can reduce delays and miscommunication. Customs entry preparation is a core function of any licensed broker, requiring accurate HTS code classification — including 10-digit HTS code identification — to ensure correct duty assessment and compliance with U.S. trade regulations. Errors in tariff code assignment can trigger customs holds, additional scrutiny, or unexpected duty liability.
Importers using Gibril's services may also benefit from guidance on importer of record requirements, particularly for first-time commercial importers or foreign entities shipping goods into the United States without a domestic legal presence. Understanding IOR obligations is critical before cargo arrives at a U.S. port.
Additional compliance areas where a licensed customs broker provides value include ISF filing (also known as the ISF 10+2 or importer security filing), which must be submitted at least 24 hours prior to ocean vessel loading. Failure to file ISF on time can result in CBP penalties and cargo holds. For importers managing continuous import programs, continuous customs bond coverage is typically required, while single-entry bond customs arrangements may suit occasional shippers.
Springfield's location also places Gibril within reach of importers operating across Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the D.C. metro corridor — a region with substantial government contracting activity, technology imports, and commercial trade flows. Importers in these sectors often require precise HTS code classification, careful management of import bond requirements, and in some cases, exploration of duty drawback programs or type 86 entry customs procedures for low-value shipments under the Section 321 de minimis threshold.
For commercial importers in the Washington metro area seeking a customs broker near me with direct CBP licensing, Sumeya Gibril offers a locally credentialed option. Contact via phone at 571-835-0739 or email at sumigibril@gmail.com to discuss specific import requirements.
