About WORLDPUB ENTERPRISE INC
Worldpub Enterprise Inc is a licensed U.S. customs broker based in El Monte, California, operating under CBP filer code APD. Located in the San Gabriel Valley just east of Los Angeles, Worldpub Enterprise is well-positioned to serve importers moving goods through the Los Angeles and Long Beach port complex — two of the busiest container ports in the United States. The firm assists importers with customs entry preparation, HTS code classification, and compliance with CBP regulations. El Monte's proximity to major freight corridors makes it a practical base for brokers handling high-volume import traffic, particularly from Asia. Whether you are a first-time importer or an established business managing recurring shipments, Worldpub Enterprise Inc holds the federal licensing required to file entries on your behalf with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Worldpub Enterprise Inc is a federally licensed customs broker headquartered in El Monte, California, assigned CBP filer code APD. El Monte sits in Los Angeles County, placing the firm within close reach of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — the entry point for roughly 40% of all U.S. containerized imports, with a strong concentration of goods sourced from Asia, including electronics, consumer goods, textiles, and machinery.
For importers searching for a customs broker near the greater Los Angeles area, Worldpub Enterprise Inc offers the federal credentials necessary to transact directly with U.S. Customs and Border Protection on a client's behalf. This includes preparing and submitting CBP Form 3461 for cargo release, filing commercial entries, and ensuring that shipments comply with all applicable import regulations before and after arrival.
One of the foundational services any licensed customs broker provides is Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification — determining the correct HTS code for electronics, apparel, machinery, or other merchandise so that the proper duty rate is applied. Incorrect classification is one of the most common triggers for CBP inquiries and focused assessments, making accurate HTS code determination a critical step for every import.
Importers shipping by ocean freight also need to consider Importer Security Filing (ISF), which must be submitted at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at the foreign port. A licensed broker like Worldpub Enterprise can handle ISF filing on the importer's behalf, reducing the risk of CBP penalties.
For businesses that regularly import and then re-export goods, or use imported materials in U.S. manufacturing, the duty drawback program under 19 USC 1313 may offer a significant refund opportunity. Filing for a duty drawback refund requires precise recordkeeping and knowledge of CBP's drawback procedures — services a licensed broker can help coordinate.
Additionally, importers may benefit from understanding continuous customs bond requirements, the Section 321 de minimis threshold for low-value shipments, and how to approach prior disclosure with CBP if a compliance issue is identified. First-time importers in particular benefit from working with a licensed broker who understands these regulatory nuances.
Worldpub Enterprise Inc's location in El Monte, combined with its CBP license, positions it to support businesses throughout the Los Angeles Basin that need professional customs representation for inbound international shipments.
