Julio Rodriguez US Customs Broker
Julio Rodriguez US Customs Broker is a licensed customs brokerage, in business since 2007 and filing under CBP filer code EWV. Its headquarters are in San Juan, with an office in Orlando and an office in Miami, and it files at every US and Puerto Rico port under one national permit. The firm works in English and Spanish, and its president is Julio Rodriguez.
An importer visiting a broker's website wants a few plain things. Which port will my freight clear through, and does the broker file there? What does this notice from CBP mean, and what is due by when? Does a tariff refund apply to my entries? And can I reach a licensed person who speaks my language? A broker's site earns its place by answering those questions before anyone picks up the phone.
The site opens with "What do you need today?" and eight starting points, from a held shipment to a first import. Behind them sit 18 named services, dedicated port pages with their CBP codes, 8 guides for people holding a notice from CBP, 14 articles and a free refund checker. The public records behind the firm's licence and registrations are linked from the page, and the offices and hours are listed. The site is published in English, Spanish and Portuguese, each at its own address, and it is built so AI assistants can read and query it, which the site explains on its own page.
A closer look
The first screen asks what the visitor needs today. A shipment on hold leads to a page on exams and holds. A letter from CBP leads to a plain guide for each kind of notice, from an ISF penalty to a redelivery notice. A question about tariffs leads to the refund checker, which asks five questions, takes no email address and stores nothing. Each entry point is a door into the service it names, so a visitor in a hurry reaches the right page in one step.
The firm files at every US and Puerto Rico port under one national permit, and the site lists all 522 CBP ports of entry. The ports the firm works daily, including PortMiami, Miami International Airport, Port Everglades and San Juan, get their own pages with the CBP port code. The site is published in English, Spanish and Portuguese, each language at its own address.
Alongside the site, Appluex assessed the firm against the cybersecurity expectations U.S. Customs and Border Protection sets for licensed customs brokers, and delivered a plan to bring the business up to that standard. It also provided IT support: the firm's business email setup was reviewed and reconfigured, mail archiving was set up so mailboxes keep working as they grow, and every account and the domain were kept in the company's name.
