What filer code DM3 means

CBP issues one three-character filer code per permitted brokerage company. Every entry Formal Cargo LLC transmits carries DM3 as the first three characters of its entry number, which is how CBP and the importer trace a given entry back to the firm that filed it.

That makes the code more reliable than the name for identification. Firm names in the CBP list are truncated, inconsistently punctuated, and sometimes shared across separate permits, whereas the filer code is unique. If you are reconciling entry summaries or a CBP notice against a broker, match on DM3.

To file at all, the company must hold a customs broker permit and employ at least one individually licensed customs broker who qualifies it. The permit is national in scope, so Formal Cargo LLC is not restricted to filing at ports near Laredo.

FAQ

Questions about Formal Cargo LLC

Answered from CBP's permitted broker list. For anything beyond what CBP publishes, contact the company directly.

What is Formal Cargo LLC's customs filer code?

DM3. CBP assigns each permitted brokerage company a three-character filer code, and it prefixes every entry number the company transmits. If you are matching an entry back to the broker that filed it, this is the code to look for.

Where is Formal Cargo LLC located?

Laredo, TX, according to CBP's permitted broker list. Customs broker permits are national in scope, so the recorded city is where the company operates from rather than a limit on where it can file.

How do I contact Formal Cargo LLC?

CBP's list gives by phone on 956-282-9307 or by email at josuegonzalez@formalcargo.com. Contact details change more often than the list is republished, so confirm before you rely on them.

Is Formal Cargo LLC a licensed customs broker?

The company holds a CBP customs broker permit, which means it is authorized to transact customs business and employs at least one individually licensed broker. A permit confirms authorization only. It says nothing about service quality, and this listing is not an endorsement.
