Patti Porter Customs Broker, LLC was founded on a simple belief: importers deserve a broker who is genuinely invested in their success — not just their transaction.
With more than 40 years of hands-on customs experience, Patti has guided businesses of every size — from first-time importers making their first shipment to major multinational corporations managing thousands of entries annually — through the full complexity of U.S. customs law, tariff classification, and trade compliance.
Our expertise spans multiple industries: steel and metals, textiles, consumer electronics, food and beverage, chemicals, and machinery. We've developed particular depth in antidumping and countervailing duty compliance — the area where a single mistake in classification or rate selection can cost importers tens of thousands of dollars. We stay obsessively current on every CBP ruling, Commerce determination, tariff change, and Federal Register notice that could affect your shipments.
