A U.S. Customs Brokerage Built on deep Expertise, Stability, and Trust. For over 30 years, CST, Inc. has been one of the most dependable names in U.S. Customs brokerage and import compliance consulting.
Founded in 1994 as Consulting by Sandra Tovar, Inc., CST began by helping textile and apparel companies navigate the complex world of Free Trade Agreements and U.S. Customs regulations.
That same consultative foundation still drives us today: we help importers understand the rules before problems arise — so their shipments move faster, with fewer surprises, and no unnecessary penalties.
In 1996, CST expanded into full-service Customs brokerage, and we’ve been filing flawless entries ever since — from our Georgia headquarters to every U.S. port nationwide.
We will be the most trusted and valued Customs brokerage partner in the United States
To combine the industry’s most attentive service with some of the most competitive pricing available — giving our clients an unmatched blend of reliability, responsiveness, and return on investment.
With 30+ years of stable leadership, no ownership changes, and a reputation built on trust, CST operates with consistency, transparency, and loyalty to the long-term success of every client we serve.
We don’t guess — we get it right. Every Customs entry is prepared, audited, and filed with care, accuracy, and licensed oversight. Compliance isn’t a checkbox — it’s a professional responsibility we honor on every transaction.
We stay close to our clients, not just their cargo. From onboarding to post-entry, we provide hands-on guidance, real-time communication, and responsive support that big-broker call centers simply can’t match.
We don’t just clear shipments — we educate importers. Through consulting, training, and clear explanations, we give clients the tools to make smarter trade decisions and reduce regulatory risk.
Premium service and competitive pricing shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. We deliver both — giving clients unmatched return on investment through efficiency, accuracy, and responsive care.
Need guidance on a tariff shift? Not sure how a new Government ruling affects your business? We explain it in plain English, before Customs asks questions.
Ocean entries start 5 days before arrival. Air entries begin at wheels up. ISFs? Same-day. We don’t file late — and we don’t miss deadlines.
You’re never more than one transfer away from your deeply competent broker, to a licensed managerial broker who also understands your commodities, timelines, and priorities.
We maintains a rigorous 3-stage audit process for every Customs entry: 1) Initial Self-Audit by the entry writer prior to clearance. 2) Secondary Peer Review by a different team member after clearance. 3) Final Managerial Audit during invoicing by a licensed manager. This triple-layer verification system detects and corrects discrepancies at multiple points.
No ownership changes. No surprise mergers. No disappearing brokers. CST has been here for 30+ years, and we’re staying.
