FMC Licensed NVOCC · CBP Licensed Broker
Ocean freight forwarding and U.S. customs brokerage for serious importers. We carry the licenses. You move the cargo.
What We Do
Every capability your import operation needs, under one licensed roof.
Trade Lanes
Active operations on the highest-volume lanes into the United States.
Why Tres Rios
Most freight forwarders lease their authority or operate under someone else's license. Not us.
Our team holds the NVOCC Qualified Individual designation and the CBP Customs Broker license in-house. These credentials are ours — not rented, not shared.
Our principal is a former U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent. We know how entries are reviewed from the inside — and how to file them right the first time.
Every file we open gets a tariff exposure review. We catch ADD/CVD conflicts, misclassifications, and valuation overpayments before they become penalties.
Our tariff optimization program is contingency-based. We only get paid when you save. No savings, no fee.
