About WORLD ASIA LOGISTICS INC
World Asia Logistics Inc is a CBP-licensed customs broker based in Wood Dale, Illinois, located just minutes from O'Hare International Airport — one of the busiest air cargo gateways in the United States. Operating under filer code AN1, the firm provides customs clearance services for importers bringing goods into the US, with a focus on Asia-origin freight. Whether you are a first-time importer or an established company managing regular commercial shipments, World Asia Logistics offers entry preparation, importer security filing, and customs bond assistance. Their Wood Dale location makes them well-positioned to serve importers in the greater Chicago metropolitan area who rely on O'Hare for air freight from China, Japan, South Korea, and other Asia-Pacific markets.
World Asia Logistics Inc operates as a licensed US customs broker out of Wood Dale, Illinois, a logistics-hub community situated immediately adjacent to O'Hare International Airport. O'Hare ranks among the top air cargo airports in North America, handling billions of dollars in imported merchandise annually — particularly electronics, consumer goods, machinery, and textiles arriving from Asia. The firm's filer code AN1 identifies it as an active entry filer with US Customs and Border Protection, authorized to transact customs business on behalf of importers across the country.
For importers sourcing products from China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, or Southeast Asia, having a knowledgeable broker with Asia-focused expertise is critical. World Asia Logistics is positioned to assist with the full commercial entry process under CBP Form 3461 and CBP Form 7501, including proper HTS code classification — a step that directly affects the duty rate applied to your goods. Correct HTS code meaning and application is especially important for electronics and machinery, categories subject to Section 301 tariffs and frequent CBP scrutiny.
The broker can assist clients with importer security filing (ISF), which must be submitted at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at the foreign port. Failure to file a timely ISF can result in CBP penalties and cargo holds. World Asia Logistics also facilitates continuous customs bond procurement, which is recommended for any importer with annual duty liability exceeding $10,000 and required for all commercial importations.
For businesses with established import histories, World Asia Logistics may assist with evaluating eligibility under the duty drawback program (19 USC 1313), which allows importers to recover up to 99% of duties paid on goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed. Understanding how to file duty drawback correctly — and maintaining the required documentation — can result in meaningful duty drawback refunds for qualifying companies.
Additionally, the firm can help e-commerce and low-value shippers understand Section 321 de minimis rules, which allow shipments valued at $800 or under to enter the US duty-free. This is an increasingly relevant exemption for direct-to-consumer importers.
