UQI CHB INC

UQI CHB INC operates as a licensed U.S. customs broker out of Diamond Bar, California — a city in Los Angeles County strategically situated near the convergence of major Southern California freeway corridors and within practical distance of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. These twin ports collectively handle the largest volume of containerized imports entering the United States, with a significant share originating from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. As a result, brokers operating in this region routinely manage shipments covering electronics, consumer goods, textiles and apparel, machinery, and a broad range of manufactured products.

For importers seeking a customs broker near the LA/Long Beach port complex, UQI CHB INC offers core customs brokerage services under CBP filer code 8G8. This includes customs entry preparation for commercial shipments, HTS code classification to ensure accurate tariff treatment, and importer security filing (ISF) — the mandatory 10+2 submission required before ocean freight departs its origin port. Proper ISF filing is critical for avoiding CBP penalties and cargo holds, and working with a licensed broker helps ensure compliance from the outset.

For businesses importing high volumes of dutiable goods, UQI CHB INC can assist with continuous customs bond procurement — a bond type that covers multiple entries over a rolling 12-month period and is typically required for importers who file more than a few entries per year. Continuous bonds simplify the import process and reduce administrative overhead compared to single-entry bonds.

Importers who have previously paid duties on goods later exported or used in manufacturing may also be eligible for refunds through the duty drawback program. Understanding how to file duty drawback correctly — and which entries qualify — requires careful recordkeeping and knowledge of CBP regulations. A licensed customs broker familiar with duty drawback refund procedures can help identify recoverable amounts and manage the filing process.

For lower-value shipments, particularly those entering under Section 321 de minimis provisions or via the Type 86 entry process used by e-commerce and direct-to-consumer shippers, UQI CHB INC's proximity to one of the country's largest import markets positions it to assist growing businesses navigating these evolving CBP entry types.

Whether you are a first-time importer working through your initial commercial entry, a growing e-commerce brand managing cross-border logistics, or an established importer looking to review tariff code classifications and HTS code assignments, UQI CHB INC in Diamond Bar, CA is a licensed resource in the heart of Southern California's import ecosystem.
