U.S. Customs Broker Companies from CBP's Permitted Customs Broker Listing
1,663 customs broker companies from U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Permitted Customs Broker Listing, each with its CBP filer code, city and state; 964 rows have the work phone CBP lists, 68 have a role email and 75 have a company website. A row is included when the CBP name shows a legal-entity designator (INC, LLC, CORP, LTD, LP, LLP, PLLC, PC or LC) or the start of one where the CBP record cuts the name short. 75 names without a designator are included because a state business registry record, the Federal Maritime Commission's list of licensed ocean transportation intermediaries or the company's own website shows a corporation or LLC of that name (the link is in the row), and 2 more were judged by hand to be companies. Individual brokers and names that could not be confirmed are left out, so this is a conservative subset of the 2,516 entries CBP lists.

Source data as of
CBP Permitted Customs Broker Listing marked 'Last Modified' 2026-05-05 (entity_evidence_url and website: as checked 2026-10-07)
Last verified is the date we fetched the source data and confirmed it was the latest version the publishers had released.
What this list adds to the free source data
- Filtered CBP's 2,516 entries to organizations only. Excluded: 778 individual names, 11 personal names with a trade descriptor (e.g. '... CHB'), 15 personal names with only 'Co.'/'Company' that were not found as a corporation, 47 other names with no legal-entity designator that could not be confirmed as a business entity (of which 8 carry only 'Co.'/'Company'), 1 CBP test record and 1 empty row.
- Looked up the names without a legal-entity designator in state business registries that publish open data (New York, Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Connecticut), in the Federal Maritime Commission's list of licensed ocean transportation intermediaries and, where a website was found, on the company's website. 75 were confirmed as a corporation or LLC and are included (45 by a registry record, 22 by the FMC list, 8 by the company's website); entity_evidence_name and entity_evidence_url give the name and the link.
- Added a website column for 75 companies whose home page was checked on 2026-10-07 (HTTP 200, the company's name on the page, not a parked domain).
- Dropped the email on 302 of the 370 included rows that have a value in CBP's email field: on 300 no address was recognized as a role or company-named mailbox (mostly personal-looking addresses; some company mailboxes the rule did not recognize were also dropped), and 2 values are not valid email addresses. role_email keeps only role or company-named mailboxes.
- Normalized phone numbers to NNN-NNN-NNNN (first number only; extensions and secondary numbers removed; 4 unparseable values dropped).
- Added entity_suffix and entity_evidence, which show why each row was treated as an organization (1576 by designator, 10 by a designator cut off in the source, 75 by an outside record, 2 by manual review).
- Added name_truncation_suspected, flagging 24 names of 35 or more characters that do not end in a designator and may have been cut short in the CBP record (no name in the CBP listing is longer than 40 characters).
- Cross-checked the table on the CBP page against the linked CSV (same filer codes in both).
- Collapsed extra whitespace in names, removed trailing commas and a duplicated trailing designator ('LLC LLC'), and upper-cased cities.
Limitations and what's not included
- Not every company on the CBP listing is included: 62 names without a legal-entity designator could not be confirmed as a business entity in the sources that were checked and were excluded, so some companies are probably missing. Only the New York, Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Connecticut registries were searched (through their open data); companies in other states, including California, Florida, Georgia and Arizona, could be confirmed only through the FMC list, the registry of one of those six states where they are also registered, or their website.
- An entity_evidence_url shows that a corporation or LLC of that name exists; the match to the CBP row is by name (and city where the source has one). For 24 of these rows the city in the linked record differs from the CBP city (for example a headquarters, registered office or another branch), and some registry records show a status other than active (for example a Texas franchise tax forfeiture). CBP has not confirmed these matches.
- Classification is rule-based plus a short manual review and may still contain errors.
- It is not limited to dedicated customs brokerage firms. Any organization CBP lists as a permitted broker is included if it passes the filter above, for example accounting firms (KPMG LLP, Deloitte Tax LLP), consulting firms, and trade-services companies whose names include the name of a group outside logistics (Bayer International Trade Services; VALERO CUSTOMS & TRADE SERVICES,INC).
- filer_code is CBP's entry filer code, not a broker license number or permit number. The list has no license numbers, permit dates or license history.
- Location is city and state only. No street address, ZIP code, port or district, C-TPAT status, transport mode, specialization, employee count or company size is included, because the CBP listing does not contain them.
- website is filled for 75 rows only (about 5%); it is not in the CBP listing. For large groups it is the group's site, not the page of the branch CBP lists.
- About 42% of rows have no phone and about 96% have no email. The phone is the 'Work Phone Number' CBP lists and is not confirmed to be a main switchboard.
- There is no contact-person column. role_email keeps only role mailboxes (info@, imports@ ...) and mailboxes named after the company. Other addresses were removed: mostly personal-looking ones, but also some company mailboxes the rule did not recognize, so some rows have an empty role_email although CBP lists an address for that company.
- This is a snapshot of the CBP listing marked 'Last Modified' 2026-05-05, with registry, FMC and website checks made on 2026-10-07. Later changes are not reflected, and this file is not updated automatically.
- The CBP listing gives only filer code, name, city, state, phone (with extension) and email. It does not rate, rank or recommend brokers, and neither does this file.

Columns in the CSV (15)
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| filer_code | CBP's 3-character entry filer code as listed by CBP. Not a broker license number or permit number. |
| company_name | Permitted broker name as CBP lists it (whitespace collapsed; trailing commas and a duplicated trailing designator such as 'LLC LLC' removed). Some names are cut short in the CBP record; see name_truncation_suspected. |
| city | City as listed by CBP, upper-cased. No street address is in the source. |
| state | Two-letter U.S. state or territory code as listed by CBP. |
| phone | First number in CBP's 'Work Phone Number' field, formatted NNN-NNN-NNNN. Extensions dropped. Not confirmed to be a main switchboard. Empty when CBP lists none or the value in that field is not a complete phone number. |
| role_email | Role or company-named mailbox from CBP's 'Email Address' field (e.g. info@, imports@). Other addresses are not included: mostly personal-looking ones, plus some company mailboxes the rule did not recognize. Empty for most rows. |
| website | Company website (home page). Not in the CBP listing; filled only where the site was checked on 2026-10-07: it returned HTTP 200 and showed the company's name, and is not a parked domain. For large groups it is the group's site. Empty for most rows. |
| entity_suffix | Legal-entity designator found in the CBP name (INC, LLC, CORP, LTD, LP, LLP, PLLC, PC, LC). Empty when the row was kept on other evidence. |
| entity_evidence | Why the row counts as an organization: legal_suffix (a designator is in the CBP name), legal_suffix_truncated_in_source (the CBP name is cut short and ends in the start of a designator, e.g. 'Corporatio' or ', IN'), state_business_registry (the CBP name has no designator; a state business registry record shows a corporation or LLC of this name), fmc_oti_license_list (the CBP name has no designator; the Federal Maritime Commission's list of licensed ocean transportation intermediaries shows the licensee's legal name with a designator), company_website (the CBP name has no designator; the company's website shows its legal name with a designator) or known_corporation_manual_review (no designator and no URL; judged by hand to be a company). |
| entity_evidence_name | For state_business_registry, fmc_oti_license_list and company_website rows: the entity's name as shown at entity_evidence_url (FMC rows add the d/b/a name the licensee uses where it matches the CBP name). Empty for other rows. |
| entity_evidence_url | For state_business_registry, fmc_oti_license_list and company_website rows: where the entity was confirmed on 2026-10-07. Registry links are open-data API queries that return that one record (entity type, status, jurisdiction); FMC rows link to the FMC search page, where the licensee can be searched by name. Empty for other rows. |
| name_truncation_suspected | yes when the CBP name is 35 or more characters long and does not end in a designator, 'Co.'/'Company' or ')', so it may have been cut short in the CBP record (the longest name in the CBP listing is 40 characters). |
| cbp_listing_last_modified | 'Last Modified' date shown on the CBP listing page. |
| source_url | CBP listing page the row appears on (the same rows are in the CSV linked from that page). |
| last_verified | Date the CBP page and CSV were retrieved for this build. |
