About

A customs brokerage built around its own filing system

Borderless CHB Inc. is licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to transact customs business, and files entries and ISF at every U.S. port of entry under a national permit.

The firm

What Borderless is

Borderless CHB Inc. is a licensed U.S. customs brokerage. We file consumption entries and Importer Security Filings at every U.S. port of entry, for small and mid-size importers and for the freight forwarders who bring us their client books. Rates are published and flat, and every entry is visible in a client portal from filing through release.

Customs is one of the last corners of logistics still running on fax machines, phone tag and surprise invoices. Borderless was built to replace that with a system: documents in, classification and duty computed against the current schedule, entry transmitted over ABI, status tracked through release, and the record kept where it can answer a CBP question five years later.

The same duty engine that prices client entries also powers the public tariff tools on this site. That is deliberate. Publishing the calculation is how we keep it honest, and it means an importer can check our arithmetic before becoming a client.

We are a generalist brokerage across commodity classes rather than a specialist in one. We are selective about the right thing instead: a screening step at onboarding keeps everyone we file for on the right side of CBP.

NAICS

488510, freight transportation arrangement

Borderless also operates under two standing regulatory duties worth naming. 19 CFR 111.24 restricts a customs broker from disclosing a client's records to anyone but that client and CBP. 19 CFR 163 requires entry records to be kept for five years and produced on demand. Both are covered on the security and data handling page.

Leadership

Broker of record

Joy Xue

Broker of record and qualifying officer

Joy Xue holds the customs broker licence under which Borderless transacts customs business, and serves as the firm's qualifying officer for the purposes of 19 CFR 111. Classification, valuation and origin decisions on client entries are made or reviewed under that licence before transmission.

Joy Xue is a University of Michigan graduate in data science, and the firm's approach reflects it: the mechanical parts of clearance are treated as an engineering problem, and the parts that require professional judgement are kept with a licensed broker.

How we operate

Three principles behind every entry

Compliance before throughput

Everything filed goes out under our licence and our filer code, which makes the quality of the book a regulatory matter rather than a commercial preference. Accounts are screened at onboarding for that reason.

Automate the mechanical, review the judgement

Document extraction, duty computation and status tracking run as software. Classification, valuation and origin are decided by a licensed broker, and reviewed again before anything transmits.

Publish the numbers

Rates, service commitments, port coverage and the tariff data behind the public tools are all published rather than quoted on request. A number that cannot be published is usually a number that will not survive scrutiny.
