The Artemus Group, LLC

The Artemus Group, LLC operates as a federally licensed U.S. customs broker in Virginia Beach, Virginia, providing import compliance and customs clearance services to businesses moving goods through East Coast ports. The firm holds a CBP broker license under filer code 9JW and is reachable by phone at 866-744-7101 or by email at info@artemus.us — making it straightforward for importers to get answers before their cargo arrives.

Virginia Beach sits adjacent to the Hampton Roads region, which is home to the Port of Virginia — a major East Coast gateway handling container, breakbulk, and roll-on/roll-off cargo. Importers bringing in consumer goods, machinery, electronics, steel, and a wide range of other commodities frequently route shipments through this port complex. A licensed customs broker with regional presence, like The Artemus Group, can be a practical resource for managing the entry process and maintaining compliance with CBP regulations.

Core customs brokerage services typically include customs entry preparation, HTS code classification (including the 10-digit HTS code required for formal entries), and importer security filing — commonly referred to as ISF 10+2 filing. ISF must be submitted at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at the foreign port, and errors or late filings can result in CBP penalties. Working with a licensed broker helps importers meet these deadlines consistently.

Additionally, importers working with The Artemus Group may find support in understanding import bond requirements, including continuous customs bond options that cover multiple shipments over a 12-month period rather than requiring a single-entry bond for each transaction. Brokers also assist clients in understanding when Type 86 entry procedures apply for low-value Section 321 de minimis shipments valued at $800 or under.

For importers with a history of overpaid duties, a duty drawback program may allow recovery of up to 99% of duties paid on imported merchandise that is subsequently exported or destroyed. Navigating the unused merchandise drawback process or filing a prior disclosure with CBP are tasks that benefit from experienced guidance. The Artemus Group's Virginia Beach location makes it an accessible option for businesses throughout the Hampton Roads metro area, the broader Mid-Atlantic region, and importers nationwide looking for a customs broker near them with East Coast port expertise.
