KGSD Customs Brokerage Corporation

KGSD Customs Brokerage Corporation is a federally licensed customs broker headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, operating under CBP filer code NFB. For importers routing cargo through Hawaii's ports — including Honolulu Harbor and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport — KGSD provides the regulatory expertise needed to move goods through U.S. Customs and Border Protection efficiently and in full compliance with federal import requirements.

Honolulu sits at a geographic crossroads between the U.S. mainland, Asia, and the broader Pacific region. This makes Hawaii an important entry point for a wide range of imported goods, from consumer products and electronics originating in East and Southeast Asia to food and agricultural goods from Pacific Island nations. Importers receiving shipments at Honolulu need a locally based customs broker who understands the specific operational and regulatory environment at these ports of entry — KGSD is positioned to serve that need.

As a licensed customs broker, KGSD is authorized to act as an importer's agent before CBP, handling the preparation and filing of customs entries, coordination with federal partner government agencies, and ensuring that all documentation — commercial invoices, bills of lading, packing lists, and certificates of origin — meets CBP standards. For ocean shipments, this also includes Importer Security Filing (ISF), commonly known as the 10+2 requirement, which must be submitted at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at the foreign port.

Hawaii's import environment also involves oversight from agencies such as the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the Hawaii Department of Agriculture, particularly for food products, plants, and agricultural commodities subject to strict biosecurity rules. A Hawaii-based customs broker familiar with these layered requirements can help importers avoid costly holds, examinations, or penalties.

Whether you are importing goods for commercial distribution, fulfilling e-commerce orders, or managing regular trans-Pacific supply chains, KGSD Customs Brokerage Corporation offers the local presence and federal licensing to support your clearance needs at one of the United States' most unique and geographically distinct ports of entry.
