ROBERT KONG CHB, INC.

Robert Kong CHB, Inc. is a federally licensed U.S. customs broker headquartered in Canyon Country, California, serving the greater Los Angeles import corridor. With a CBP filer code of 8AN and a direct local phone line at 661-251-4346, the firm provides accessible, professional customs clearance support to importers navigating the complexities of U.S. trade compliance.

Canyon Country sits within Los Angeles County, placing Robert Kong CHB, Inc. in close geographic proximity to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — collectively the largest containerized cargo gateway in the United States and the primary entry point for goods manufactured in China, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and across the broader Asia-Pacific region. Importers bringing in electronics, consumer goods, textiles and apparel, machinery, and industrial equipment through these ports benefit from a broker with familiarity in this specific trade lane.

The firm assists importers with the full range of CBP entry requirements. This includes customs entry preparation for both formal and informal entries, accurate 10-digit HTS code classification, and Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) submissions required for all ocean freight shipments. Proper ISF filing must be completed at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at the foreign port, and errors can result in costly CBP holds or liquidated damages — making experienced broker support essential.

For importers who do not yet have a continuous customs bond on file, Robert Kong CHB, Inc. can advise on whether a single entry bond or a continuous bond is appropriate for their import volume. Continuous bonds are generally more cost-effective for importers who clear multiple shipments per year and are a prerequisite for many CBP programs.

The firm is also equipped to help importers understand partner government agency (PGA) requirements — from FDA, USDA, EPA, and other federal bodies — that apply to regulated product categories. Navigating PGA documentation correctly is critical to avoiding unnecessary delays at the port of entry.

For businesses exploring duty recovery options, the firm can provide guidance on duty drawback programs, including unused merchandise drawback and manufacturing drawback, which allow qualifying importers to recover duties paid on goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed.

Importers searching for a customs broker near me in the Santa Clarita Valley or broader Los Angeles area will find Robert Kong CHB, Inc. a reliable, licensed option for both one-time clearances and ongoing import programs.
