KW INTERNATIONAL INC

KW International, Inc. operates as a licensed U.S. customs broker and total logistics provider from its Carson, California facility, placing it at the heart of one of the most active import corridors in North America. With direct proximity to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — the primary entry point for consumer goods, electronics, machinery, and textiles originating from Asia — KW International is well-positioned to handle the full lifecycle of an import shipment from origin through final delivery.

As a CBP-licensed customs broker (filer code EJU), KW International manages customs entry preparation, classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), and submission through the ACE portal. Their team assists importers with accurate HTS code lookup and harmonized tariff schedule classification to minimize compliance risk and avoid costly delays at the border. Importers who need help with ISF filing requirements — the mandatory Importer Security Filing that must be submitted at least 24 hours before vessel departure — can rely on KW International's in-house brokerage team to meet CBP deadlines.

Beyond traditional customs brokerage, KW International has built a vertically integrated logistics platform that distinguishes it from single-service brokers. Their international division handles both air and ocean freight forwarding, including LCL express consolidation for shipments that don't fill a full container. On the domestic side, their transportation arm offers FTL (full truckload), LTL (less-than-truckload), linehaul, and milk run services to move freight efficiently once it clears customs.

The company's warehousing and fulfillment capabilities — including 3PL logistics, CFS operations, carton segregation, and crate disposal — make KW International particularly relevant for e-commerce importers and retailers managing high-SKU inventories. Their e-commerce division specifically supports air parcel and ocean parcel shipments, Section 321 de minimis entries, customs clearance for online retail goods, and returns management through an after-sale service division that also includes asset recovery and field service support.

For importers evaluating how to import goods into the USA more efficiently, KW International offers a rare combination of licensed customs brokerage expertise alongside end-to-end logistics execution. Whether an importer needs guidance on duty drawback eligibility, help navigating the USITC tariff database, or simply wants a single partner to manage freight, clearance, warehousing, and last-mile delivery, KW International's Carson-based operation covers the full spectrum. Their CBP ACE portal access and established carrier relationships at the LA/Long Beach complex make them a practical choice for importers sourcing from Asia.
