Allstates WorldCargo acquires Promptus, LLC, adding in-house customs brokerage division

Allstates WorldCargo, a leader in logistics solutions, announced its acquisition of Promptus, LLC, a Miami-based customs broker and logistics firm focused on trade with Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean.

The acquisition expands Allstates WorldCargo’s operations in Miami, an international gateway for commerce with Latin America. The transaction also adds a licensed customs brokerage division to Allstates WorldCargo’s service portfolio, allowing Allstates to offer customs clearance and compliance services to its customer base.

Promptus’ experienced team and established operations will integrate into Allstates WorldCargo’s U.S. network supporting customers with customs entry filing, tariff classification, duty management, and regulatory compliance alongside international freight services.

“Miami plays a critical role in global trade, particularly for shipments moving to and from Latin America,” said Kendra Tanner, Allstates WorldCargo’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “With our strong domestic coverage, this acquisition positions us to provide seamless solutions for global customers to access our coast-to-coast U.S. network, while having greater control over customs brokerage services, improving coordination, visibility, and overall service reliability.”

Julio Desangles, one of the founders of Promptus, said “We are very pleased to be joining the Allstates WorldCargo team. Joining Allstates allows us to expand our reach while continuing to deliver the high level of service our customers expect. Combining our customs brokerage expertise with Allstates WorldCargo’s logistics network creates a more complete solution for customers operating in the Miami market and beyond.”

Promptus was founded in 2001 by Julio Desangles, Ramon Perez, and Milton Tejada. All three leaders are essential to the acquisition’s success and will remain with Allstates WorldCargo, continuing to provide customers with the high-quality service they expect.
