Nationwide Customs Clearance

From One Location

Specializing in U.S. Customs brokerage,
delivering expert compliance, fast
clearance, and personalized service to
keep your trade moving.

The company’s founder, Mr. Harry F. Long, established a
one-person office in 1965. At that time, Chicago had only a
small number of Customs Brokers.

1988, Harry F. Long, Inc. became one of the first brokers in
Chicago to earn "ABI" certification from U.S. Customs. The
company further achieved C-TPAT certification in 2003.

Today, Harry F. Long, Inc. remains independently owned
and operated. Matthew Basile, who has 30+ years of
experience as a Customs broker, upholds the same high
standard of professional service that Mr. Long exemplified.
