Yvonne Cantu Hyslop

Yvonne Cantu Hyslop holds an active CBP customs broker license with filer code 89Y, practicing out of Del Rio, Texas — a border city that sits directly across from Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico. The Del Rio Port of Entry handles a consistent volume of cross-border commercial trade, making it a strategically important crossing for importers who source goods from Mexico or move product through this corridor.

For businesses engaged in US-Mexico trade, having a customs broker physically located at or near the port of entry is a meaningful operational advantage. A locally based broker understands the specific CBP officers, port-level procedures, and processing norms at Del Rio, which can translate to more accurate guidance and fewer delays for first-time importers and experienced shippers alike.

Yvonne can assist clients with the full scope of customs clearance requirements for commercial entries under CBP's standard processes. This includes preparation and filing of CBP Form 3461 for entry and CBP Form 7501 for entry summary, classification of goods under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), and ensuring that all documentation meets CBP requirements before goods arrive at the border.

For importers moving freight regularly across the Del Rio crossing, securing a continuous customs bond is a fundamental step in establishing a compliant import program. A continuous bond covers all entries filed within a 12-month period and is typically required for commercial shipments valued above $2,500. Yvonne can advise clients on bonding requirements appropriate to their import volume and commodity type.

Importer Security Filing (ISF) obligations apply to ocean shipments entering the United States, and compliance with ISF deadlines is critical to avoiding CBP penalties. For clients importing via land border at Del Rio, understanding entry type requirements — including the potential applicability of Section 321 de minimis provisions for lower-value shipments — is equally important.

Duty drawback programs under 19 USC 1313 offer importers the opportunity to recover duties paid on goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed. While drawback administration involves detailed recordkeeping and CBP filing requirements, working with a licensed broker familiar with these provisions can help qualifying importers identify and pursue legitimate refund opportunities.

Importers who are new to cross-border trade from Mexico or who are expanding their sourcing into the Del Rio corridor are encouraged to contact Yvonne Cantu Hyslop directly at 830-422-2035 to discuss their specific import needs and how she can support their CBP compliance requirements.
