SOO HOO CUSTOMS BROKER, INC.

Soo Hoo Customs Broker, Inc. has been a fixture of Southern California's import industry since 1974, operating out of Commerce, CA — a logistics hub just minutes from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, two of the busiest container ports in the United States. With CBP filer code EJ2 and a staff carrying over 100 combined years of customs brokerage and freight forwarding experience, the firm is built for importers who need more than a transaction-level broker.

What separates Soo Hoo from many customs brokers in the greater Los Angeles area is its fully integrated operational model. Rather than relying on a patchwork of disconnected vendors, the company coordinates every phase of the import process through a single team: air freight and sea freight coordination, ISF 10+2 filing, customs entry preparation, HTS code classification, continuous customs bond management, warehousing, inland transportation, and final-mile delivery. For e-commerce importers, the firm also offers Amazon FBA prep, including labeling and Seller Central coordination.

Soo Hoo takes on what it calls the "tough jobs" — high-compliance shipments that standard brokers often avoid. This includes FDA-regulated food and beverage imports, high-value vehicles subject to EPA and DOT requirements, and other cargo categories requiring detailed regulatory knowledge. Importers need to meet importer of record requirements, secure proper import bonds (single entry bond or continuous customs bond), and ensure accurate 10-digit HTS code classification to avoid delays or penalties — all areas where Soo Hoo's experienced staff provides direct guidance.

The firm maintains direct communication channels with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and its partner government agencies, allowing it to resolve classification disputes, respond to CBP queries, and manage compliance issues before they become costly delays. Pre-arrival document review is a core part of their workflow, reducing errors in entry preparation that can trigger exams or cargo holds.

For importers sourcing from Asia — a dominant trade lane through Los Angeles and Long Beach — Soo Hoo's location, port relationships, and decades of operational experience make it a practical choice. Whether you are searching for a customs broker near me in the Commerce or Los Angeles area, need support with Type 86 de minimis entries, or are evaluating duty drawback opportunities on previously imported goods, Soo Hoo Customs Broker offers the depth of experience and integrated logistics capability to support complex import programs.
