ISS Announces US Customs Brokerage Services

ISS Brokerage Services, part of maritime and logistics service provider Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS), is now providing U.S. Customs brokerage services across all North American ports.

The new facility has been introduced after US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) granted a National Brokerage Permit to ISS Brokerage Services to file customs entries remotely via Remote Location Filing (RLF).  The company can now undertake customs brokerage in all North American ports outside its Houston base to offer a faster RLF electronic filling capability to clients in the US.

ISS Brokerage has also announced the appointment of Theresa Bennington as Brokerage Manager, North America, who will be overseeing the new service from her base in Houston. Comments Clark J. Buffam, ISS General Manager Offshore Logistics, North America.

“Theresa’s passion for trade compliance together with her expertise in brokerage operations makes her a valuable asset to both ISS and our clients. Her 38 years’ experience means she is renowned in both Houston and in the industry.”

ISS Brokerage Services handles customs brokerage activities entirely in-house including ISF Filing, continuous bond, duty drawbacks, import consulting, TIB entry and warehousing and delivery.
