Customs volume growth measures the year-over-year change in customs brokerage activity handled by a logistics provider.
Customs brokerage is a service business tied to import and export activity rather than physical transportation capacity.
C.H. Robinson example
C.H. Robinson reported 1.0% customs service-line volume growth in 2025 within Global Forwarding.
Customs adjusted gross profit increased much faster than volume, helped by higher duty advance fees during a period of elevated tariff rates.
Why it matters
Customs economics can change with:
- entry volume;
- trade complexity;
- tariff rates;
- duty-advance services;
- cross-border activity; and
- customer service mix.
Investor use
Compare customs volume with customs adjusted gross profit and the broader trade environment.
A change in profit can come from pricing or service mix even when entry volume moves only modestly.
