What JF Moran does

JF Moran is a national customs brokerage and freight forwarding firm based in Smithfield, United States. Founded in 1937, the company operates in U.S. trade compliance, customs clearance, and freight forwarding for importers and exporters. With 11-50 employees, JF Moran is a small, specialized firm positioned in the licensed customs broker segment, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection licensure and importer-of-record relationships are core operating requirements.

The firm's value proposition centers on customs brokerage and freight forwarding — transaction-based services that generate revenue through per-entry filing fees, freight margin, and ancillary compliance work. Its GTM is implicitly B2B, serving shippers and importers that require licensed customs expertise; no further product, technology, pricing, or segment detail is available in the supplied data. The publicly visible footprint is a single corporate website (jfmoran.com).

Data caveat: The detailed source material provided in this input set overwhelmingly pertains to OIA Global (a separate global supply chain management company founded in 1988, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with 1,200+ employees across 60+ offices in 30+ countries). Multiple source records explicitly note that the OIA Global data does not describe JF Moran. Accordingly, this analysis is built strictly from JF Moran's firmographic record and does not infer OIA Global's scale, technology platform (OIA Connect), vertical coverage, or global footprint onto JF Moran.
