About

I’m the Broker the Other Tools Tell You to Consult

I’m Jim Welch — a licensed U.S. Customs Broker with over 20 years in trade compliance. I’ve managed import operations for global manufacturers, led C-TPAT validation programs, and built classification frameworks that hold up under CBP scrutiny.

I founded Welch Customs & Trade Advisory to give small and mid-sized importers access to the same structured, audit-ready compliance work that large enterprises take for granted. My approach is classification-first: tariff applicability is driven by HTS classification, not assumptions about material or origin.

When five different free IEEPA calculators all say “consult a licensed broker” — I’m that broker.
