About MICOM CHB, INC.
MICOM CHB, Inc. is a licensed U.S. customs broker based in Inglewood, California, operating under filer code NE9. Located just minutes from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the firm has built its reputation on expedited and time-sensitive customs clearances, with over 25 years of combined experience serving the express freight and air cargo market. Importers who move high-velocity or time-critical shipments through the LAX gateway turn to MICOM CHB for reliable customs entry preparation, HTS code classification, and ACE portal filings. Their proximity to one of the busiest air cargo hubs in North America positions them well to support importers dealing with tight delivery windows and demanding compliance requirements.
MICOM CHB, Inc. sits at 718 Isis Avenue in Inglewood, California — a deliberate location choice that places the firm steps away from the Los Angeles International Airport cargo complex, one of the highest-volume air import gateways in the United States. For importers whose business depends on fast customs clearance, that proximity matters. The firm's core focus is expedited, time-sensitive customs clearances, and with over 25 years of combined industry experience in the express market, MICOM CHB has developed the operational processes to move entries through CBP efficiently and accurately.
The LAX corridor handles enormous volumes of consumer goods, electronics, textiles, and apparel arriving from Asia-Pacific trade lanes — particularly from China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Importers moving these categories rely on accurate HTS code classification and timely customs entry preparation to avoid costly delays. MICOM CHB's team is well-versed in navigating the USITC tariff database and applying the correct HTS code classifications, including for complex product categories like clothing and electronics where classification disputes can affect duty liability significantly.
Compliance is a central component of what MICOM CHB delivers. In today's environment, importers must meet CBP requirements that include Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions, continuous customs bond requirements, and accurate valuation and country-of-origin declarations filed through the ACE portal. Errors in any of these areas can trigger exams, penalties, or entry rejection — outcomes that are especially damaging when shipments are time-critical. MICOM CHB's experience in the express market means their staff understands how to balance speed with the precision that customs compliance demands.
For importers exploring cost recovery, MICOM CHB's background in the full customs entry cycle positions them to advise on duty drawback claims and eligibility, as well as Section 321 de minimis treatment where applicable for lower-value shipments. Companies conducting a customs compliance audit of their import programs may also find MICOM CHB's institutional knowledge of air cargo entry workflows to be a practical resource.
With filer code NE9 and CBP licensing in place, MICOM CHB, Inc. is a legitimate, qualified resource for importers seeking a customs broker with deep roots in the LAX express freight community. Whether you are managing regular high-frequency air shipments or navigating a one-time time-sensitive import, MICOM CHB brings focused expertise to the clearance process.
