Do I need a local customs broker in San Diego?

How much do customs brokers in San Diego charge?
Customs broker fees in San Diego, CA typically range from $100 to $500 per shipment entry, depending on commodity type, port, and complexity. Additional fees may apply for ISF filing, customs bonds, and PGA coordination.
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 San Diego firms offer both services, but they are legally distinct functions requiring separate licenses.
