Why flat matters
The quote is not the invoice
Most brokers quote a base entry fee, then the invoice arrives with the rest. Here's the typical stack on one formal entry in 2026 — and what it looks like with us.
| On the invoice | Typical broker | Borderless Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Entry fee (the quote) | $150–$250 | $99 flat |
| ISF filing + ISF bond | $50–$110 | Included |
| PGA filings (FDA, USDA…) | $35–$150 per agency | 2 agencies included |
| Extra HTS lines | $3–$10 per line after the first 3 | Included, up to 99 |
| Handling & invoice fees | $15–$40 | Included |
| Duty disbursement | 2–5% of your duty bill | 0% — direct CBP payment |
| Continuous bond | $400–$800/yr | Included |
Market ranges from published 2026 fee schedules and industry surveys (online flat-fee brokers, carrier brokerage schedules, and broker-fee benchmarks). In practice, a $175 quote commonly invoices at $325+ per entry before the disbursement fee. Growth also carries a $399/mo plan fee ($359 billed annually) — it pays for itself at about 8 entries a month; run your own numbers in the calculator below.

"Surcharges" = PGA, per-line, handling, and invoice fees; "Other" = amendments, account maintenance, etc. Borderless bundles ISF, your bond, and surcharges into one flat rate, so what you spend on those today becomes savings. Brokerage fees only; government duties are the same wherever you file.

FAQ
Questions, answered
We're a full-service general customs broker. We handle a broad range of commodities and grow our capabilities alongside our clients. If you're a legitimate importer, we want to work with you.
A quick fit check keeps our book of business clean and compliant. It protects honest importers and lets us give every client the attention they deserve.
Flat, all-in, and built to scale. Start pay-as-you-go at $149 per entry, with ISF, classification, and up to 99 HTS lines bundled in. Managed plans lower your per-entry rate ($99 on Growth, $79 on Scale), include your continuous bond, and lock your rates — 12 months on monthly billing, 24 when you pay annually. Growth pays for itself at about eight entries a month, and past roughly 250 entries a month custom volume pricing from $69 per entry takes over.
Most brokers and carriers charge 2–5% of your duty bill just to advance the money to CBP — at today's tariff levels that fee is often larger than the brokerage fee itself. We don't advance duties at all. Instead, we set you up to pay CBP directly by ACH during onboarding, free, and Periodic Monthly Statement can give you up to 45 days of float. The fee doesn't get discounted; it disappears.
Everything that's ours to lock: your per-entry rate and your subscription fee. Locked 12 months on monthly plans (after that, increases are capped and come with 60 days' notice), 24 months on annual plans, and 36 months on two-year terms. Duties, MPF, HMF, and other government fees are set by CBP, pass through at cost, and no broker can honestly lock those.
Entry filing, ISF, up to 99 HTS lines per entry, your continuous bond on managed plans, and PGA filings — one agency on Starter, two on Growth and Scale, then $25 per additional agency (most brokers charge $35–$150 each). Informal entries (shipments under $2,500) bill at a flat $79 on every plan. True pass-throughs like CBP exam costs are billed at documented cost. If your entries need something unusual, we quote it at signup — never as a surprise line on an invoice.
A new power of attorney and about a week. We run the bond transfer, direct-CBP payment setup, and your first filings in parallel so nothing stalls at the port. And if you're bringing 30+ entries a month on an annual plan, your first 10 entries are on us.
No, and no honest broker's are either. Duties, the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF), Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF), and any government agency fees are set by CBP and passed straight through at cost. Our flat rate covers our brokerage service, and you'll always see the government fees itemized separately.
Often yes, and always legally. We review classification, first sale, free-trade agreements, and country-of-origin to find savings other brokers overlook.
