About MSFW Customhouse Broker, Inc.
MSFW Customhouse Broker, Inc. is a licensed U.S. customs broker headquartered at 1514 Gide Court in Diamond Bar, California, operating under CBP filer code H08. With import activity on file dating back to November 2012, MSFW has accumulated over 880 bills of lading, primarily appearing as notify party on shipments involving textiles, fabrics, and electronics. Located in the eastern Los Angeles metro area, MSFW is well-positioned to serve importers moving freight through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — two of the busiest container gateways for Asian-origin goods in the United States. Importers dealing in apparel, lace, textile materials, and consumer electronics will find MSFW's track record particularly relevant to their supply chain needs.
MSFW Customhouse Broker, Inc. is a CBP-licensed customs brokerage firm based in Diamond Bar, California, a city in the eastern San Gabriel Valley with convenient access to the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. These ports collectively handle the largest volume of containerized imports entering the United States, the majority of which originate from China, Southeast Asia, and other Pacific Rim trading partners. MSFW holds filer code H08 and has been active in U.S. import activity since at least November 2012, building a consistent record of customs brokerage work across hundreds of shipments.
Import data shows MSFW's client base is heavily concentrated in textiles and apparel — associated companies include EBI Fabrics Corp., Guangdong Derun Textile Co., Ltd., and Mond Lace Textile Inc., all of which are active importers of fabric, lace, and related materials. This makes MSFW a logical choice for businesses importing woven goods, apparel components, or finished garments and needing accurate HTS code classification under the relevant chapters of the USITC tariff database. Proper HTS code classification for clothing and textile imports is critical to determining applicable duty rates, and errors can trigger costly customs compliance audits.
Beyond textiles, MSFW's associated shipment history also includes Massive Audio, Inc. and Massive International Co., Ltd., indicating experience handling electronics imports — another commodity category that requires careful CBP entry type selection, correct valuation, and in many cases, adherence to section 301 tariff considerations.
For every ocean shipment, an Importer Security Filing (ISF) must be submitted at least 24 hours before cargo is laden aboard a vessel bound for the U.S. A licensed customs broker like MSFW can manage ISF filing on the importer's behalf, reducing the risk of CBP penalties. MSFW can also assist clients in understanding customs bond requirements — including whether a single-entry bond or a continuous customs bond is appropriate given their import frequency — and can file entries through the CBP ACE portal.
Diamond Bar's location makes MSFW accessible to importers across the Inland Empire and greater Los Angeles region, an area home to a large concentration of importers, distributors, and manufacturers sourcing goods from Asia. Whether you are new to importing or managing an established supply chain, MSFW Customhouse Broker, Inc. offers the licensing, experience, and geographic positioning to support your U.S. import requirements.
