Trade America LLC

Trade America LLC is a licensed U.S. customs broker headquartered at 25440 SE 275th Place in Maple Valley, Washington, operating under CBP filer code 87E. The firm delivers customs brokerage and supply chain management solutions to importers who rely on accurate, timely entry processing to avoid costly delays at the border.

Maple Valley sits within the greater Seattle-Tacoma metro area, placing Trade America LLC in close proximity to the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma — the primary West Coast gateways for goods arriving from Asia, including electronics, consumer goods, machinery, and industrial equipment. Importers sourcing products from China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia frequently route shipments through these ports, making a knowledgeable Pacific Northwest customs broker an essential partner in their supply chain.

Trade America LLC's services span the full scope of customs compliance. The firm handles commercial entry customs filings with CBP, including preparation and submission of the required documentation for formal and informal entries. For ocean shipments, proper importer security filing — commonly known as ISF 10+2 — must be submitted at least 24 hours before vessel departure, and Trade America LLC assists importers in meeting this critical requirement. Failing to file ISF on time can result in substantial liquidated damages, making a reliable broker partner indispensable.

The firm also helps importers understand their continuous customs bond requirements, which are mandatory for companies importing goods valued over $2,500 or subject to federal agency oversight. For importers seeking to recover duties paid on exported goods, guidance on the duty drawback program can represent meaningful cost recovery. Trade America LLC's supply chain management focus means they can assist clients in evaluating HTS code classifications and tariff code accuracy — errors in classification are among the most common triggers for CBP audits and penalty notices.

First-time importers navigating the commercial entry process for the first time will find value in working with a licensed broker who understands the procedural requirements imposed by CBP, the FDA, USDA, and other partner government agencies. Trade America LLC is reachable at 425-584-7297 or by email at info@tradeamericallc.com, and serves importers across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
