Do I need a local customs broker in Lemont?

You do not have to use a local broker — any CBP-licensed broker can file entries at any U.S. port. However, local brokers in Lemont often have established relationships with regional port officials and familiarity with local freight patterns that can speed up clearance.

How much do customs brokers in Lemont charge?

What is the difference between a customs broker and a freight forwarder?

A customs broker is licensed by CBP to handle import compliance — filing entries, paying duties, and obtaining release. A freight forwarder arranges physical transportation. Some Lemont firms offer both services, but they are legally distinct functions requiring separate licenses.
