JEC Customs House Brokerage has been a trusted name in the Southern California import community for more than 15 years. Located at 2001 Santa Anita Avenue in South El Monte, CA — in the heart of the Los Angeles basin — JEC holds a CBP-issued customs broker license and operates under filer code JEC. Their proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach makes them a practical choice for importers moving cargo from Asia and the Pacific Rim, while their cross-border entry capabilities extend coverage to shipments arriving from Canada and Mexico.
JEC is both an NCBFAA member and a C-TPAT participant, signaling a commitment to supply chain security and industry best practices. These credentials matter to importers who need a broker capable of navigating heightened CBP scrutiny and maintaining compliant trade programs.
The firm's service catalog is notably comprehensive for a boutique brokerage. They handle full EDI/ACE portal modernization across all ports of entry and are equipped to submit Partner Government Agency (PGA) filings — a critical capability for shipments subject to FDA, USDA, EPA, or other agency oversight. For importers looking to recover duties paid on exported goods, JEC offers drawback analysis and consultation services. They also handle PSC (post-entry summary corrections) and protests, giving clients options when CBP decisions need to be challenged.
JEC supports Foreign Importer Applications, Carnets for temporary imports, and Type 86 entries under Section 321 — the low-value de minimis entry type increasingly relevant to e-commerce and small parcel importers. PAPs and cross-border entries round out their offering for importers moving freight between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico through partner broker relationships.
For importers in the Los Angeles area searching for a customs broker with real experience, federal credentials, and the ability to handle complex entry types, JEC Customs House Brokerage is a well-established option worth contacting at 626-448-1818 or general@jec-chb.com.
