About NEDRAC INCORPORATED
NEDRAC Incorporated is a licensed U.S. customs broker headquartered in Palm Desert, California, with nearly four decades of experience in international trade. Operating under filer code ATQ, NEDRAC provides customs brokerage alongside domestic and international freight forwarding, NVOCC ocean transportation, and IATA-certified air freight services. This combination of capabilities makes NEDRAC a practical single-source resource for importers who need both customs clearance and cargo movement managed under one roof. Based in the Coachella Valley, NEDRAC serves importers throughout Southern California, handling cargo moving through major gateway ports including Los Angeles and Long Beach — two of the busiest container ports in the United States, with heavy traffic from Asia-Pacific trade lanes.
NEDRAC Incorporated has built a multi-decade reputation as one of Southern California's established customs brokerage and freight forwarding operations. Licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under filer code ATQ, the Palm Desert, CA-based firm has operated for nearly 40 years — a track record that speaks to consistent performance in an industry where regulatory knowledge and operational reliability are paramount for importers.
As a full-service international trade company, NEDRAC holds multiple operating credentials: a CBP customs broker license, NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) authority for ocean freight, and IATA certification for air cargo. This range of accreditations means NEDRAC can manage an import shipment from origin booking through customs clearance and final delivery, reducing the number of vendors an importer needs to coordinate.
Importers shipping goods through Los Angeles and Long Beach — the primary gateway for trans-Pacific trade — benefit from NEDRAC's familiarity with CBP entry requirements at these ports. Proper HTS code classification, timely Importer Security Filing (ISF) submission, and accurate ACE portal entry preparation are foundational to avoiding delays and costly CBP examinations. NEDRAC's experience navigating these requirements across decades of regulatory change is a meaningful asset for businesses managing consistent import volumes.
The firm's freight forwarding capabilities extend to both ocean and air modes, making it well-suited for importers whose supply chains require flexibility — whether moving high-volume containerized goods or time-sensitive air freight. Understanding customs bond requirements, including when a continuous customs bond is appropriate versus a single-entry bond, is part of the compliance guidance that experienced brokers like NEDRAC provide to their clients.
For importers dealing with complex classification questions, duty drawback eligibility, or the need for a customs compliance audit, working with a broker that combines long operational history with multi-modal freight capabilities is a practical advantage. NEDRAC's base in Palm Desert serves the broader Southern California importer community, with proximity to the Los Angeles basin's extensive port and air cargo infrastructure.
Importers looking for a licensed customs broker with established freight forwarding infrastructure and nearly 40 years of active CBP-licensed experience will find NEDRAC Incorporated a well-credentialed option in the Southern California market.
