Alba Wheels Up International is a licensed U.S. Customs broker and trade compliance firm built to serve importers and exporters navigating an increasingly complex global trade environment. We combine regulatory expertise, technology-forward operations, and deep industry relationships to deliver customs clearance, trade advisory, and supply chain services that protect our clients’ timelines and margins.

Headquartered in the United States and operating across all major ports of entry, Alba has grown into a national platform through a disciplined acquisition strategy, bringing together specialists in customs brokerage, freight forwarding, perishables, and beverage alcohol logistics under one unified commercial framework. Our licensed brokers, trade compliance officers, commercial, and operations teams work in concert to deliver seamless execution from first filing to final delivery.

Alba Wheels Up expanded its national footprint in 2022 with the acquisition of KSI Corp, a respected licensed customs broker specializing in the clearance of semiconductors, electronics, and high-technology goods. KSI’s deep expertise in complex HTS classification, export control compliance, and time-sensitive clearance of high-value components made it a natural fit for Alba’s growing platform — and established the foundation for what is now Alba’s dedicated semiconductors and high tech vertical.

We serve clients across a broad range of industries, providing the expertise and responsiveness that complex supply chains demand.

Meat, dairy, and protein imports are among the most heavily scrutinized categories in U.S. trade.
