About Songlin Han
Songlin Han is a CBP-licensed customs broker based in City of Industry, California, operating under filer code NHP. Located in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley — one of the busiest import corridors in the United States — Songlin Han is well-positioned to serve importers moving goods through the Los Angeles and Long Beach port complex, the largest container gateway in North America. Whether you need customs entry preparation, ISF 10+2 filing, or guidance on HTS code classification, Songlin Han provides individual, direct-contact brokerage services. Importers who prefer working with a licensed individual broker rather than a large firm will find this an accessible, straightforward option for their customs clearance needs.
Songlin Han holds an active CBP customs broker license and operates out of City of Industry, California, under filer code NHP. City of Industry sits at the center of Southern California's massive import distribution network, making it a strategically significant location for brokers serving freight flowing through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — the entry point for the majority of U.S. imports from Asia, including electronics, consumer goods, textiles and apparel, machinery, and more.
For importers searching for a customs broker near me in the greater Los Angeles area, Songlin Han offers direct, licensed brokerage services without the overhead of a large corporate firm. Importers working with a solo licensed broker benefit from consistent, one-on-one communication throughout the clearance process.
Core services include customs entry preparation, importer security filing (ISF 10 plus 2 filing), and HTS code classification — helping importers identify the correct 10-digit tariff code for their goods, which directly determines applicable duty rates and admissibility requirements. Accurate HTS code meaning and selection is critical for avoiding delays and penalties at the border.
For importers establishing or expanding their import programs, understanding importer of record requirements is essential. Songlin Han can assist clients in navigating these obligations, including import bond requirements such as obtaining a continuous customs bond or a single entry bond customs arrangement depending on shipment frequency and value.
Importers shipping lower-value goods may also benefit from guidance on Section 321 de minimis provisions and Type 86 entry customs procedures, which allow eligible shipments under $800 to enter duty-free. For importers with established import histories, a duty drawback program review — including unused merchandise drawback — may present meaningful refund opportunities on previously paid duties.
With proximity to the LA/Long Beach port complex and a direct line of contact via phone and email, Songlin Han represents a practical, licensed option for importers seeking straightforward customs brokerage in Southern California.
