Pacific Customs Brokers Inc. assists you in importing and exporting goods. Services include customs brokerage, logistics and consulting.
In 1954, our company was founded on one simple principle: Serve the client well.

In those early years, we were often given shipment release requests that other brokers were less inclined to process. This meant that our founding team members dealt with the most complicated, lengthy, and time-constrained entries, and instilled in us our problem-solving and adversity-facing culture of getting any job done compliantly.
Today, thousands of importers just like you, trust us to import their goods into Canada and the US by structuring our business around their needs with 24/7 access to expertise, support and encompassing services including freight management, trade advisory and comprehensive learning center.
