Livingston International, a leading North American company specializing in customs brokerage and trade compliance, has designated its Houston office as one of four national service centers in the United States. The company’s new office consolidates three smaller locations across Houston.

This designation enables Livingston to provide better 24-hour service to clients by concentrating its release operations, which accelerates the process of clearing goods into the U.S.  Livingston clients will also have further access to specialized technical expertise in the Houston office, which specializes in imports across the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Livingston’s Houston office is an essential part of our ever-expanding customs brokerage and trade compliance capabilities,” said Christopher Logan, president of Livingston U.S. “Enhancing this location is an important part of enhancing our entire U.S. brokerage release operations to deliver even better and more consistent service to every client 24/7, and to meet expanding global client needs.”

Livingston simplifies international trade and manages risk for businesses by assisting them in navigating the complexities of government agencies, regulations and protocols. The company’s other national client service centers are in Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.
