Yes, small businesses can absolutely file their own U.S. Customs entry forms online, and many are doing so to cut out the cost and delays of traditional brokers.
The process is called self-filing, and it’s fully legal as long as you're the Importer of Record and follow CBP requirements. You’ll need to submit documents like the CBP Form 3461 (Entry/Immediate Delivery) and Form 7501 (Entry Summary) through the ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) system.
The catch? The ACE system was originally built for pros and can be super complex for non-brokers.
That’s where tools like eezyimport come in. It simplifies the whole process into a user-friendly online platform — so small business owners can file everything themselves, with step-by-step guidance, and stay compliant without needing a broker.
Its built-in data extraction tool auto-pulls key details from your commercial documents, and the intuitive interface makes navigating customs forms as easy as filling out a basic online form.
