Why Charter?

Cost-efficient services. Charter Brokerage’s approach to the customs process stresses compliance, avoids expensive mistakes and reduces any need for outside consultants and attorneys. Over the long term, Charter’s clients save money. 

The duty-drawback expert. Charter Brokerage is the recognized leader in the recovery of duties, taxes and fees under the Customs and Border Protection’s drawback laws and regulations. We file and recoup more duties, taxes, and fees than any other service provider, and no firm matches our experience with the complex rules that govern drawback.

FTZs and bonded services. Charter Brokerage is the industry leader in the administration of foreign-trade zones and bonded warehouse programs designed to reduce or eliminate duties, taxes and fees that would otherwise apply to imported goods. Charter specializes in foreign trade zone operations for the supply of foreign-status jet fuel to domestic and international carriers in the U.S. Our services include applications, activation, documentation, inventory tracking, record keeping, reporting and audit support.

Consultation and advocacy. Charter Brokerage’s trade compliance professionals offer guidance and advice on any changes in the laws, regulations, administrative rulings, and industry practices, that affect global trade. An informed, effective advocate, we support our clients’ interests through proposed legislation, regulations, and administrative practices. Leading and working with Customs and Border Protection, other governmental agencies, members of Congress, the administration and industry groups, we look to expedite the administration of the drawback, import and export laws that enhance trade benefits for our client.
