Built for Freight Operations
Every entry is filed under the oversight of a licensed U.S. customs broker — Mauricio Larenas, CBP License (CHB) #42750. AP Customs is built around the way NVOCCs and freight forwarders manage real shipments: multiple importers, overseas agents, house bills, ISF deadlines, release updates, and CBP exams.

The right customs broker makes the difference between a smooth entry and an expensive delay.
Licensed Broker Oversight
Entries and ISF filings are made under a licensed U.S. customs broker — Mauricio Larenas, CBP License (CHB) #42750, and Secretary of the FCBF Executive Board. A named broker is accountable for the work.
A Written Review Process
Before an entry or ISF is filed, documents are checked against a defined review step. Discrepancies between the booking, invoice, and bill of lading get caught before submission, not after a hold.
Defined Communication
You know who owns the next step and who is waiting on it. We tell you when a filing is in place, when CBP has acted, and when a shipment is released.
Built for Forwarder and NVOCC Workflows
We keep importer accounts separated and file ISF, entries, and amendments across multiple customers without mixing data — the way NVOCCs and forwarders actually operate.
Visibility From Intake to Release
You can see where a shipment stands at each stage: intake received, documents reviewed, filed with CBP, and released.
Accountability When Something Goes Wrong
If a shipment is flagged for exam or a filing needs correction, you have a named licensed broker coordinating the response — not a queue.
