About RTW Logistics Inc.

RTW Logistics Inc. is a licensed U.S. customs broker and full-service freight forwarder headquartered in Torrance, CA, with operations spanning multiple locations including Houston, TX. Operating under CBP filer code RTW, the company handles customs entry preparation, importer security filing (ISF 10+2), and compliance documentation for ocean and air shipments. Their brokerage and compliance solutions cover a wide range of import cargo types moving through major U.S. ports. Alongside customs brokerage, RTW offers ocean freight (FCL and LCL), air freight, domestic trucking, drayage, and warehousing at facilities in Stockton, CA and Seattle, WA — making them a capable single-source logistics provider for importers seeking consolidated trade services.

RTW Logistics Inc. is a CBP-licensed customs broker and third-party logistics provider with a physical presence in Torrance, CA (2050 W 190th Street, Suite 111) and additional offices in Houston, TX. Operating under filer code RTW, the company has processed over 1,000 import entries and maintains active U.S. import activity, according to federal shipment records. For importers searching for a customs broker near me in the greater Los Angeles area, RTW offers proximity to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — two of the busiest container gateways in the country, handling enormous volumes of Asia-origin consumer goods, electronics, machinery, and textiles.

RTW's brokerage and compliance solutions address the full lifecycle of a U.S. customs entry. This includes accurate HTS code classification using the 10-digit schedule, determination of the correct formal vs. informal entry threshold, and proper identification of the importer of record requirements for each shipment. The team prepares ISF 10 plus 2 filings within CBP's mandatory 24-hour window ahead of vessel departure, helping importers avoid costly penalties. RTW also assists clients in understanding import bond requirements — including the difference between a single entry bond and a continuous customs bond — ensuring the correct coverage is in place before cargo arrives at port.

For ocean shipments, RTW handles Full Container Loads (FCL), Less Than Container Load (LCL), and break bulk cargo. Their air freight division provides expedited clearance for time-sensitive imports. Both modes benefit from RTW's documentation accuracy and its global agent network, which supports error-free filings across partner government agencies for regulated commodities.

RTW's logistics infrastructure extends beyond port clearance. Their two warehousing facilities — located in Stockton, CA and Seattle, WA — are equipped with warehouse management system (WMS) software to support inventory tracking and distribution. Trucking services include Full Truckload (FTL), Less Than Truckload (LTL), and drayage at both local and national levels, giving importers a true door-to-door supply chain solution.

Importers dealing with duty recovery should ask RTW about available duty drawback programs, including unused merchandise drawback and manufacturing drawback under CBP regulations. For low-value e-commerce shipments, RTW can also advise on Section 321 de minimis entry options. With 16 prime locations around the globe and a growing U.S. import footprint, RTW Logistics Inc. serves as a capable trade compliance partner for businesses importing through West Coast and Gulf Coast ports.

Frequently Asked Questions

What CBP filer code does RTW Logistics Inc. use for customs entries?

RTW Logistics Inc. files U.S. customs entries under CBP filer code RTW. Their Torrance, CA office at 2050 W 190th Street, Suite 111 serves as the licensed brokerage location for West Coast import activity.

Does RTW Logistics handle ISF 10+2 filings for ocean shipments?

Yes. RTW prepares and submits Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) for ocean imports, ensuring the filing is submitted at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at the foreign port — a CBP requirement that helps importers avoid penalties.

What is the difference between a continuous customs bond and a single entry bond, and can RTW help me decide?

A single entry bond covers one shipment, while a continuous customs bond covers all entries for a 12-month period and is generally more cost-effective for importers with three or more shipments per year. RTW's brokerage team can evaluate your import volume and recommend the right bond type.

Does RTW Logistics offer warehousing in addition to customs brokerage?

Yes. RTW operates warehousing facilities in Stockton, CA and Seattle, WA, both equipped with WMS software. This allows importers to combine port clearance, drayage, and storage under a single logistics provider.
