JDC

Here for the Long Haul

A privately-owned, fully licensed customs broker and freight forwarder, JDC International has assisted the industry's premier importers and wholesalers with customs brokerage and forwarding arrangements for more than 20 years. Over a century of combined expertise allows our knowledgeable JDC staff to coordinate even the most complex cargo clearances and shipments smoothly and efficiently.
Try Us On for Size

We're large enough to give you prompt, professional service -- and small enough to provide the level of personalized attention you deserve. Our streamlined "hands-on" approach saves considerable processing time and paperwork ... to move your shipments quickly, yet carefully. JDC's customs services put customer service first.
Protecting Your Perishables ... and Other Products

Unlike many other customs brokers, JDC International offers a proven track record when it comes to moving perishable goods -- including fresh-cut flowers, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and fresh and frozen fish. And because the biggest names in the industry trust us with their most time- and temperature-sensitive shipments, you can rest assured that we're uniquely qualified to move steel, textiles, jewelry, cosmetics, furniture, electronics and other merchandise.
Your "One Stop Ship Shop"

We combine our broad range of services to develop specialized solutions that save you time and money. Whether you're looking for flexible marine insurance options, cost-effective quotes, bond filing or duty drawback, we go the distance to deliver comprehensive, customized results.
Global Connections

Located just minutes from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, JDC works with agents in all major U.S. ports and key trade hubs around the world. Our extensive network of international contacts lets us coordinate complex arrangements with key government agencies like the FDA and USDA. So you spend less time poring over paperwork ... and more time concentrating on your business.
Automated Advantages

Thanks to our direct connection with the U.S. Customs mainframe in Washington, D.C., your paperwork can be processed in a matter of hours, not days. This electronic link allows us to monitor merchandise from the filing of entry documents to final delivery. And our fully automated, state-of-the-art facility helps us expedite even the most complicated shipments quickly and efficiently.
Your Import/Export Ally

True, you could attempt to coordinate your own import shipments. But bear in mind that U.S. Customs laws are in a constant state of review and revision. And under the latest law of "informed compliance", you'll assume full responsibility -- and liability -- for anything that goes wrong. So relying on a reputable customs broker makes definite dollars and sense. At JDC, it's our mission to remain well-informed when it comes to the latest Federal codes and tariff regulations. After all, our reputation rests on your success.
