Sasha pursued a career in e-commerce, wholesaling, and programming before partnering up with DJ.

1. Why DJ Customs
The average age of customs brokers in the US is over 40 years old. As 30-year-olds, DJ and Sasha are relatively fresh faces in the field. This gives them a competitive edge, as they are constantly researching the latest news and keeping close contact with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and other professionals in the logistics field to stay up-to-date. For instance, when Entry Type 86 was first deployed by CBP in 2019, many customs brokers were unaware of or uninterested in this new type of entry filing. However, DJ and Sasha recognized that Entry Type 86 would be a fast and efficient means to clear shipments while saving clients money, especially with the expansion of e-commerce, and immediately got to utilizing it and informing customers.

Their background in a variety of other fields such as cargo, air freight, e-commerce, and wholesaling also lends them an advantage. Because they have expansive knowledge of the manufacturing side, not just the logistics side, they can see the whole picture of the supply chain. This allows them to pinpoint the best solution that would fit the customer’s needs. Oftentimes this can result in huge savings to the customer.
