Spirit CHB Inc. is a licensed U.S. Customs House Broker headquartered at 5450 Orange Ave, Suite 101, in Cypress, California. The firm holds CBP filer code 8BE and has been serving the import community for over 20 years. Situated near the Los Angeles and Long Beach seaports — the country's largest container gateway — Spirit CHB is well-positioned to handle high volumes of ocean freight imports, particularly goods originating from Asia, including electronics, consumer goods, textiles and apparel, and machinery.
Spirit CHB's core services cover the full customs entry process: preparing and submitting customs entries, filing Importer Security Filing (ISF 10 plus 2) requirements ahead of vessel departure, classifying goods using 10-digit HTS codes, and arranging both single entry bonds and continuous customs bonds based on an importer's volume and risk profile. Proper bond selection is a critical part of meeting import bond requirements under CBP regulations, and Spirit CHB guides clients through that decision.
The firm also assists importers in understanding their obligations as an importer of record, including liability for accurate tariff classification, duty payment, and compliance with partner government agency requirements. For importers dealing with Vietnam-origin goods — a growing sourcing region — Spirit CHB stays current on USTR intellectual property designations and country-of-origin rules that affect admissibility and duty rates.
Spirit CHB publishes educational articles on topics such as retroactive tariffs, country-of-origin determinations for textiles and apparel, Type 86 entry customs filings for Section 321 de minimis shipments, and common mistakes that delay customs clearance. This content reflects the firm's effort to keep clients informed about a rapidly changing trade environment.
