About KYOKO VICTORIA THOMAS
Kyoko Victoria Thomas is a CBP-licensed customs broker based in Torrance, California, operating under filer code 9XL. She serves as President of NTL Naigai Transline USA Inc., a freight and logistics firm with Japanese roots well-positioned to handle trans-Pacific import lanes. Located near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — the busiest container gateway in the United States — her practice is suited to importers bringing goods from Asia, particularly Japan and the broader Pacific Rim. With direct experience in international trade compliance and customs clearance, Thomas offers importers in the Southern California region an experienced point of contact for navigating CBP requirements, entry filing, and related logistics coordination.
Kyoko Victoria Thomas holds an active CBP customs broker license under filer code 9XL and maintains her practice in Torrance, California, a hub of international trade activity in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. As President of NTL Naigai Transline USA Inc., Thomas brings a distinctly international perspective to customs brokerage — particularly for importers moving cargo across the Pacific.
Torrance sits minutes from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, collectively the largest container port complex in the United States and the primary U.S. entry point for goods manufactured in Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. For importers searching for a customs broker in the Los Angeles area with experience in trans-Pacific trade lanes, Thomas and her team at NTL Naigai Transline USA represent a specialized resource.
NTL Naigai Transline is a Japanese-affiliated logistics brand, which positions Thomas's operation to serve Japanese manufacturers, trading companies, and their U.S. subsidiaries with particular depth. This includes customs entry preparation, ISF (Importer Security Filing) submissions for ocean freight, classification and valuation under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, and coordination with freight forwarders across air and ocean modes.
Importers dealing in electronics, automotive parts, consumer goods, and machinery — all categories heavily traded between Japan and the U.S. — may find Thomas's background especially relevant. Her proximity to the LA/Long Beach port complex also makes her a practical choice for importers who need responsive, locally embedded customs support rather than remote brokerage services.
For businesses establishing recurring import programs or navigating CBP compliance for the first time, having a licensed broker with both language capability and on-the-ground presence near the port of entry can reduce delays and improve entry accuracy. Thomas can be reached directly at 310-532-0080 for inquiries related to customs clearance, entry filing, or ongoing import programs routed through Southern California.
