Since 2006
From Montana to Every US Port
Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, Strix has grown from a local customs brokerage into a nationwide leader in customs clearance solutions. We've cleared millions of shipments for importers across every industry.
What started as traditional brokerage services evolved into something more. We saw importers struggling with high costs, slow turnarounds, and lack of visibility. So we offered self-filing via ACE certified platform to give companies control over their customs process—without sacrificing expert guidance.
Today, we serve clients at all US ports of entry, offering flexible solutions from full-service brokerage to self-filing software with broker support.
