Customs brokerage and freight forwarding
Cargo cleared and moving, from port to door.
MHM Enterprises handles customs entries, ocean and air freight, and final delivery for importers and exporters who need their goods released on time.
What we do
Logistics services
One team for the paperwork, the freight and the visibility in between.

Customs brokers for every U.S. port of entry
MHM Enterprises files entries remotely, so your goods can be cleared wherever they arrive, not only where our office sits.

Delivered to your door
Trucking is arranged from the terminal to your warehouse, with updates along the way.
Frequently asked questions
Dedicated account broker
One person who follows your shipments from booking to release.
Entries filed ahead of arrival
Documents reviewed early so cargo is not left waiting at the terminal.
What is an importer number?
It is the number U.S. Customs uses to identify your business, normally your IRS employer identification number. If you do not have one, a Social Security number can be used, or we can file CBP Form 5106 to have a number assigned.
What is the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF)?
MPF is a fee Customs and Border Protection charges on most formal entries to cover the cost of processing them. It is calculated on the value of the goods, with a minimum and a maximum per entry.
Why do I need a customs bond?
A bond guarantees that duties, taxes and fees will be paid even if a problem arises after release. Formal entries require one, either a single-entry bond or a continuous bond that covers a full year.
If my business moves, do I have to tell you?
Yes. Your address on file with Customs must match your records, so let us know and we will update your importer record before the next entry.
What is ISF 10+2 and when is it due?
The Importer Security Filing is required for ocean cargo and must be submitted at least 24 hours before the goods are loaded at the foreign port. Late or inaccurate filings can be penalised.
How long does customs clearance take?
Most entries with complete documents are released around the time the cargo arrives. Exams, missing paperwork or agency holds add time, which is why we review documents early.
