Xiang Guo Xu

Xiang Guo Xu holds an active CBP customs broker license with filer code 9DX, operating out of San Dimas, California. San Dimas sits within Los Angeles County, placing this broker in close proximity to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — collectively the largest gateway for goods entering the United States, with a heavy volume of electronics, consumer goods, textiles, and machinery arriving from Asia-Pacific trading partners.

For first-time importers navigating the U.S. customs process, working with a licensed broker like Xiang Guo Xu can make a significant difference. From understanding the HTS code meaning for your specific products to completing CBP Form 3461 for informal or formal commercial entries, a licensed broker handles the regulatory detail so importers can focus on their business. Importers unsure of how to classify electronics or other merchandise will benefit from accurate HTS code determination, which directly affects applicable duty rates and admissibility.

One key service area for importers in this region is Importer Security Filing (ISF), required for ocean shipments entering U.S. ports at least 24 hours before departure from a foreign port. Failure to file ISF correctly can result in significant CBP penalties — a licensed broker ensures these filings are timely and accurate.

Beyond entry filing, importers with repeat import activity may also explore a continuous customs bond, which covers multiple shipments over a 12-month period and is often more cost-effective than single-entry bonds for active importers. Brokers operating under filer code 9DX can assist with bond procurement and maintenance.

For businesses that have previously overpaid duties, the duty drawback program under 19 USC 1313 offers a legal mechanism to recover up to 99% of duties paid on imported merchandise that is subsequently exported or destroyed. Understanding how to file duty drawback — and whether your imports qualify for a duty drawback refund — is a nuanced process that benefits from professional guidance.

Importers who may have identified past compliance errors should also be aware of the CBP prior disclosure program, which allows importers to voluntarily report violations before CBP initiates a formal investigation, often resulting in reduced penalties. A focused assessment by CBP is another scenario where having an experienced broker in your corner matters.

For Section 321 de minimis shipments valued at $800 or less, entry requirements differ from standard commercial entries, and a knowledgeable broker can help e-commerce importers understand when and how these rules apply.
