Greenlight Customs Broker
Founded in 2024 by Karren Menil, Greenlight Customs Broker was built on a foundation of expertise, innovation, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.
With years of experience in customs brokerage and a passion for entrepreneurship, Karren set out to create a company that not only simplifies cross-border transactions but also prioritizes the needs of its clients at every step.
Located in Zone 2 in Acheson, Greenlight chose Acheson for its strategic location, industrial focus, affordable costs, and supportive infrastructure providing a great foundation for businesses to grow, innovate and scale. They felt that the area offered an open business environment, with more room to expand or diversify compared to busier city centers.
Greenlight Customs Broker is committed to delivering outstanding compliance performance and exceptional customer service.
With deep expertise in Canadian customs laws and regulations, the firm ensures a seamless, efficient, and effective clearance process for businesses navigating cross-border trade.
At the core of Greenlight’s operations are three fundamental values: Excellence, Innovation, and Integrity. Their mission is to serve as a trusted bridge between clients, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and other government agencies—facilitating smooth, compliant, and successful transactions.
Greenlight offers a diverse range of services tailored to meet the complex needs of importers and exporters, including:
- Customs Clearance – Ensuring accurate classification of goods to streamline the import/export process.
- Customs Compliance – Identifying and mitigating potential compliance risks to prevent costly delays and penalties.
- Customs Appeals & Disputes – Providing expert analysis and strategic guidance on complex regulatory issues.
Greenlight Customs Broker is deeply dedicated to making a meaningful impact beyond business. From the very beginning, they have prioritized social responsibility, recognizing that strong community engagement not only reinforces their core values but also fosters long-term positive change.
A key focus of Greenlight’s community efforts is supporting youth education and career development. By investing in the next generation, they aim to empower young professionals with the knowledge and opportunities needed to succeed. Their approach to giving back is built on three pillars: collaboration, education, and community engagement—principles that will continue to shape their growth and outreach.
As part of their commitment to local business and economic development, Greenlight has joined the Acheson Business Association. This membership allows them to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, gain valuable industry insights, and contribute to regional growth.
“Being part of the Association enables us to build strong relationships, collaborate on shared goals, and stay informed about developments that impact our business and community.”
Through these initiatives, Greenlight is not only building a successful company but also strengthening the community that supports them—creating a lasting legacy of impact and innovation.
