ONPOINT TRADE SERVICES, LLC

OnPoint Trade Services, LLC is a federally licensed U.S. customs broker based in Arcadia, California, holding CBP filer code NRY. Located in the San Gabriel Valley, the firm serves the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area and is well-positioned to support importers clearing cargo through the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach — collectively the largest container port complex in the Western Hemisphere. This geographic advantage makes OnPoint a practical choice for importers sourcing products from Asia, particularly those dealing in consumer goods, electronics, textiles and apparel, and machinery.

For importers searching for a customs broker near them in Southern California, OnPoint Trade Services provides hands-on assistance with the full range of CBP entry types explained under U.S. customs law. This includes formal entry filings for commercial shipments above the de minimis threshold, as well as guidance on section 321 de minimis provisions for lower-value goods. The firm assists clients in understanding the formal vs. informal entry customs distinction — an important consideration for businesses managing cost and compliance across varying shipment values.

HTS code classification is a foundational part of any compliant import program. OnPoint works with importers to apply the correct HTS codes, including for categories such as clothing and textiles, where precise classification directly affects duty rates and admissibility. Accurate classification also feeds into customs compliance audits, where CBP scrutinizes entry data for consistency and accuracy.

OnPoint Trade Services assists clients with customs bond requirements, including securing continuous customs bonds for frequent importers and single-entry bonds for one-time shipments. The firm also supports Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions — the 10+2 data requirement CBP mandates for ocean freight — helping importers avoid costly penalties for late or inaccurate filings.

Additionally, OnPoint can guide importers through partner government agency requirements, which apply when shipments involve regulated products overseen by agencies such as the FDA, USDA, EPA, or FCC. Navigating these layered regulatory requirements demands current knowledge and attention to detail, areas where a licensed customs broker provides measurable value.

Importers looking to recover overpaid duties may also benefit from consultation on duty drawback programs and claims, which allow eligible businesses to reclaim duties on exported or destroyed merchandise. OnPoint Trade Services serves as a trusted point of contact for importers throughout the Los Angeles region who need reliable, compliant customs brokerage support.
