Top 10 Container Freight Stations (CFS) in Miami (2026)

A container freight station is a CBP-designated facility where LCL ocean containers and air consolidations are deconsolidated, sorted and released to individual consignees. Miami has an unusually dense CFS cluster because so much Latin America and Caribbean groupage moves through PortMiami, Port Everglades and MIA. Below are ten operators serving the market in 2026, with what each is known for.

Bonded status, FIRMS codes and service scope change over time. Confirm current CBP designation and capabilities directly with any facility before routing cargo.

How to choose

Ask four questions. Is the facility CBP-designated with a current FIRMS code for the cargo type you are moving? How quickly do they devan after the container arrives — a cheap CFS that sits on your freight costs you per diem elsewhere. Can they hold cargo in bond if entry is delayed? And can they arrange the outbound truck, or will you be coordinating a second vendor? Our guide to LCL deconsolidation timelines and costs covers what to expect, and transloading vs. cross-docking explains when devanning is not the right answer at all.

Frequently asked questions

What does a container freight station do?

A CFS receives full containers of consolidated LCL cargo, breaks them down by house bill, and releases each consignee’s freight once customs entry is complete. Many CFS facilities also consolidate export cargo into outbound containers.

How long does CFS deconsolidation take in Miami?

Devanning itself is usually same-day or next-day after the container is delivered, but availability for pickup depends on customs release. Plan for a few business days from vessel discharge to cargo availability, longer if the shipment is held for exam.

Does a CFS have to be bonded?

A CFS handling cargo that has not yet cleared customs operates under CBP designation with a FIRMS code. Some facilities also hold separate bonded warehouse status, which lets them store goods in bond for longer periods and defer duty.
