Customs Broker - personal shipment situation/recommendations needed. Taiwan to LA to Minneapolis

I'm looking at bringing in an arcade machine that is being shipped to me from Taiwan to my house in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have a company setting up the shipment and taking care of getting it to the port of Los Angeles but not taking care of the import/customs part (that is being left up to me). I am looking for a customs broker who is willing/able to be able to help me get the machine into the United States to help me clear the customs paperwork. Is this process difficult to do by myself or should I hire a broker to do it for me? I have never done it myself and am willing to learn, but also open to having a company help. Open to advice and/or recommendations of a company that could help with this, considering it would be just a small quantity (basically two crates). Thanks in advance!
