About SWIFT CARGO INC.
Swift Cargo Inc. is a licensed US customs broker headquartered at 16700 Valley View Avenue, Suite 300B, La Mirada, California 90638, operating under CBP filer code 8KP. Part of the broader Swift Cargo network with deep roots in India-origin freight, the firm handles customs entry preparation, ISF 10+2 filings, and continuous customs bond management for importers moving goods through the Los Angeles gateway. With a strong focus on sea freight — both FCL and LCL — as well as air freight and trucking services, Swift Cargo is positioned to support importers handling pharmaceuticals, chemicals, garments, food products, engineering goods, granite, and marble. Their technology platform includes tracking, sailing schedule tools, and e-document management, making them a practical option for importers seeking an integrated brokerage and logistics partner in Southern California.
Swift Cargo Inc. operates as a licensed US customs broker in La Mirada, California — a logistics-dense suburb of Los Angeles situated near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, two of the highest-volume container gateways in the United States. Holding CBP filer code 8KP, the firm serves importers who need professional customs clearance support for shipments arriving by sea or air into the Southern California trade corridor.
The company is the US arm of Swift Cargo Pvt. Ltd., an established freight and logistics group with offices across India in cities including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore, Gandhidham, and Hyderabad. This India-US operational network makes Swift Cargo Inc. a particularly strong fit for importers sourcing from India — whether moving pharmaceutical products, chemicals, food items, garments and textiles, engineering goods, or stone materials like granite and marble.
On the brokerage side, Swift Cargo handles the full range of US Customs and Border Protection compliance requirements. This includes customs entry preparation using accurate 10-digit HTS codes, importer security filing (ISF 10+2) submitted well in advance of vessel departure, continuous customs bond procurement, and coordination with CBP on admissibility issues. For importers managing high-volume or recurring shipments, understanding import bond requirements and maintaining proper ISF filing discipline are non-negotiable — Swift Cargo's entry writers handle these details on a daily basis.
Beyond brokerage, the La Mirada office supports a broader range of freight services: full container load (FCL) and less-than-container-load (LCL) ocean freight, air freight, and domestic trucking including FTL, LTL, intermodal, and flatbed or specialized moves. This makes Swift Cargo a viable single-source logistics partner for importers who want brokerage and transportation managed under one roof.
Importers with specific commodity expertise needs — particularly in pharmaceutical logistics, chemical logistics, food logistics, and garment logistics — will find that Swift Cargo markets dedicated vertical experience in these areas through their India-based parent network, which translates to familiarity with the documentation, labeling, and regulatory requirements those commodities carry through US customs.
