USG LOGISTICS, INC.

USG Logistics, Inc. operates as a federally licensed customs broker from Carson, California, a city that sits at the heart of one of North America's most active import corridors. With CBP filer code MR4, the firm is authorized to transact customs business on behalf of importers across the United States, though its Carson location places it within close reach of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — the primary U.S. entry point for goods manufactured in China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and other major Asian export nations.

For first-time importers and experienced supply chain managers alike, navigating CBP requirements can be complex. USG Logistics assists clients with commercial entry preparation under standard CBP procedures, ensuring that shipments are classified accurately using the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Proper HTS code assignment — including for categories like electronics, consumer goods, machinery, and apparel — is essential not only for duty calculation but for avoiding costly delays or penalties. Importers researching HTS code meaning or looking for a reliable tariff code finder benefit from working with a licensed broker who understands the nuances of Schedule B and HTS alignment.

Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a mandatory pre-shipment requirement for ocean freight, and timely, accurate ISF filing is a core competency for any broker serving the LA/Long Beach port complex. USG Logistics handles these filings to keep shipments compliant with CBP's 24-hour advance manifest rules.

For importers moving lower-value goods, Section 321 de minimis entry and Type 86 entry customs clearance are increasingly relevant — particularly for e-commerce and direct-to-consumer supply chains. These entry types allow eligible shipments valued at $800 or under to enter duty-free, a significant cost consideration for high-volume importers.

Continuous customs bonds are a practical necessity for regular importers, and USG Logistics can assist clients in securing and maintaining bond coverage appropriate for their import volume and commodity types. For clients who have previously paid duties and may be eligible for a refund, the duty drawback program offers a meaningful cost recovery opportunity — USG Logistics can help determine eligibility and support the filing process for duty drawback refunds.

Importers who believe they may have made prior entry errors should be aware of CBP's prior disclosure program, which allows voluntary correction of violations before CBP investigation begins. Working with a licensed broker familiar with these compliance pathways is an important safeguard. USG Logistics, Inc. serves as a resource for importers seeking knowledgeable customs representation near the Los Angeles and Long Beach port complex.
