Nippon Express USA, Inc.

Nippon Express USA, Inc. operates its Customs Brokerage Division headquarters at 401 E. Touhy Ave., Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, strategically situated near O'Hare International Airport — one of the busiest cargo hubs in North America. As the U.S. subsidiary of the NX Group (formerly Nippon Express Group), the company brings a comprehensive global logistics infrastructure to American importers and exporters who need reliable, compliant customs brokerage services backed by international reach.

Licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under filer code 510, Nippon Express USA provides a full suite of trade brokerage and import/export agency services. This includes customs entry preparation, importer security filing (ISF), HTS code classification, and management of continuous customs bond requirements. For companies navigating complex us import requirements — including CBP entry types, partner government agency filings, and customs compliance audits — Nippon Express USA offers the expertise and systems to keep shipments moving and minimize regulatory risk.

The Des Plaines office functions within a broader U.S. network that includes locations in major trade hubs such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York. This national footprint allows the company to support a diverse client base across industries including electronics, automotive parts, machinery and equipment, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor technology. Given NX Group's deep roots in Japanese trade lanes, Nippon Express USA is particularly well-suited for importers sourcing from Japan, mainland China, South Korea, and other Asia-Pacific markets.

Beyond basic customs clearance, Nippon Express USA's parent organization offers integrated logistics solutions including warehouse and distribution management, just-in-time inventory support, reverse logistics, and e-commerce fulfillment. Their visibility solutions and lead logistics provider (LLP) capabilities make them a strong fit for mid-to-large importers looking for more than just entry filing — they provide end-to-end supply chain visibility and consulting.

For importers researching the cbp ace portal, evaluating duty drawback programs, or seeking guidance on section 321 de minimis eligibility and the usitc tariff database, Nippon Express USA's brokerage team can provide the technical expertise needed to optimize trade operations. Whether you are managing high-volume ocean freight from Asia or time-sensitive air cargo clearances, their Des Plaines-based customs brokerage division is equipped to support your compliance and logistics needs.
