STEVE CHANG

Steve Chang, licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under filer code 9BM, operates Angeleno CHB out of Garden Grove, California. Located in Orange County, Angeleno CHB is strategically positioned to serve importers who move cargo through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, collectively the largest port complex in the Western Hemisphere and the primary U.S. entry point for goods manufactured in China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

Angeleno CHB is listed as a paperless filer in CBP's systems, which means entries, documentation, and communication with Customs are handled electronically — reducing delays and supporting faster cargo release. The firm has also been evaluated under FDA's filer evaluation program, indicating experience handling FDA-regulated commodities such as food, beverages, dietary supplements, cosmetics, or medical devices. Importers bringing in FDA-regulated products through Southern California ports should take note of this distinction, as FDA compliance and Prior Notice filings require specialized knowledge beyond standard customs entry work.

For importers asking about customs broker near me in the Garden Grove, Anaheim, or greater Orange County area, Steve Chang represents a locally based, licensed option with established CBP systems access. Services would typically include customs entry preparation, HTS code classification (including 10-digit HTS code lookup), importer security filing (ISF 10+2), continuous customs bond procurement, and importer of record compliance guidance.

The Southern California import market is heavily oriented toward consumer goods, electronics, textiles and apparel, machinery, and food products — all categories where accurate tariff code assignment and timely ISF filing are critical. Errors in HTS code classification or late ISF submissions can result in CBP penalties or cargo holds. Working with an experienced, licensed broker familiar with the Los Angeles/Long Beach port environment helps importers avoid these costly disruptions.

Additionally, importers interested in recovering previously paid duties may want to discuss duty drawback programs, including unused merchandise drawback, with a licensed broker. Those importing low-value shipments should also ask about Type 86 entry processing under the Section 321 de minimis threshold, which can reduce entry costs for qualifying e-commerce and small-volume imports.
