Licensed Customs Brokers Serving the Port of Los Angeles

The Port of Los Angeles and the adjacent Port of Long Beach together form the San Pedro Bay port complex — the busiest container port gateway in the Western Hemisphere. In 2023, the two ports handled over 17 million TEUs combined, making the LA/Long Beach corridor the primary entry point for goods flowing into the United States from Asia-Pacific markets.

Customs brokers licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under port district 2704 act as the critical intermediary between importers and federal agencies. They file entry documents, classify goods under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), calculate duties and fees, and ensure compliance with regulations from agencies including the FDA, USDA, EPA, CPSC, and Fish & Wildlife Service.

What to Look for When Selecting a Broker

CBP National Permit vs. District Permit: A broker with a national permit can clear shipments at any U.S. port of entry. A district permit limits clearance to specific port districts. For companies importing through multiple ports, a nationally permitted broker simplifies operations.
C-TPAT Certification: Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certified brokers have been validated by CBP for supply chain security practices. C-TPAT participants benefit from reduced inspections and faster processing.
Industry Specialization: Some brokers specialize in regulated commodities — food and beverages (FDA), textiles and apparel, electronics, automotive parts, or hazardous materials. Specialized knowledge can prevent costly holds and penalties.

The LACBFFA

The Los Angeles Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Association (LACBFFA) is the premier trade association for customs brokers and freight forwarders operating in the LA/Long Beach port complex. LACBFFA members adhere to professional standards and have access to ongoing regulatory updates from CBP.
