4. HISTORY
The Laredo Licensed U.S. Customs Brokers’ Association developed from a small organization espoused by the a few customs brokers in Laredo in It has evolved into a non-profit organization that is comprised of 110 registered members .
Under the leadership of its officers and governing board, the LLUSCBA awards annual scholarships to several deserving Laredo youths who wish to pursue careers in international trade. In coordination with the National Brokers’ Association, the LLUSCBA holds periodic educational seminars for members interested in honing their skills.
For decades, the LLUSCBA has organized meetings on the first Wednesday of every month that are attended by the Trade community, such as CBP, USDA, FDA, other Federal Agencies, and Customs Brokers. At the meetings, Customs and the other federal agencies notify the brokers of upcoming programs and changes in regulations and/or procedures. Problems are discussed and resolved. Everyone has an opportunity to exchange their views and voice their concerns in an atmosphere of mutual respect and harmony. The LLUSCBA believes this is another reason why the Port of Laredo is the gateway of choice of many importers and exporters.
