The Mills Global Builds International Trade Network Around Compliance-First Customs Brokerage

Philippines-based company combines early customs preparation with access to 31 partners across major trading regions.

MANILA, September 28, 2026 – The Mills Global Customs Brokerage Inc. is expanding its international network while putting compliance at the beginning of the shipment process. The Philippine company now works with 31 partners across the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia to support businesses trading across borders.

For The Mills Global, customs work starts before cargo moves. Its team reviews import requirements, permits, tariff classification, and shipping documents early, giving clients time to address questions that might otherwise surface when a shipment reaches the port.

“By the time cargo arrives, many of the decisions that affect its clearance have already been made,” said Atty. Jeanne Hazel Maulit, founder of The Mills Global. “We want to be part of those decisions earlier, so clients know what is required before they commit to a shipment.”

The international network gives Philippine exporters access to partners in their destination markets. It also supports foreign businesses entering the Philippines, where The Mills Global handles local customs and regulatory requirements.

The Mills Global’s customs work is backed by strong legal support from Maulit Law on market entry, banking arrangements, and securing import permits, alongside freight forwarding through First Harbor Global Logistics in Singapore. Together, they offer an unmatched breadth of support to businesses expanding into new markets.

The Mills Global specializes in project cargo, breakbulk shipments, oversized equipment, and dangerous goods. It also handles regulated and technical imports, including pharmaceuticals, data center equipment, and renewable energy components. Its services cover import readiness, permits, PEZA clearance, and tariff advisory.

The company also assists businesses with Board of Investments (BOI) applications and applications for available tax exemptions, including the documentation and agency coordination required for each.

“Trade becomes easier to manage when businesses understand the requirements before the cargo is on its way,” Maulit said. “That is the thinking behind our compliance-first approach.”
