About

Charter Brokerage is the premiere duty-drawback and customs brokerage services company in the United States and Canada. 

Founded in 1994 by two international trade attorneys, Charter was created to be the best compliance-focused, full-service customs brokerage firm in the United States. More than 25 years later, Charter has upheld that vision in every aspect of our customs brokerage and duty drawback services. Compliance is never an added service for our clients; it is ingrained in our company culture and operations, to the benefit of our clients. We are dedicated to providing our clients with comprehensive, compliance-focused customs services, including import, export, merchandise clearance, FTZ, drawback, and related services.

Charter Brokerage consists of two main building blocks; the dedication of our personnel, and our commitment to our clients. While we have created a dynamic and sophisticated internal drawback system as well as highly advanced IT solutions to support our business, it is our people, our experience and our core values that make Charter the nation’s top drawback and customs brokerage firm.

Historically, FTZ setup and management has been fragmented with companies having to hire a consulting firm to design their FTZ and then transition it to another administrative company to actually manage the day-to-day FTZ operations. 

But we knew we could bring the best of both worlds together. 

Charter Brokerage’s FTZ solutions are designed to: 

👉 Help importers, exporters, and site operators strategically setup their FTZ and then manage the ongoing day-to-day activities system and record keeping requirements. 

👉 Avoid knowledge transfer gaps that result in errors, inefficiencies, and negligence. 

👉 Integrate the strategy and management processes to eliminate redesign needs. 

👉 Save companies time and money by leveraging our all-encompassing Charter Brokerage FTZ integrated team of experts
