Export Clearance

Export Customs Clearance in Los Angeles

Documentation and filing that keep your outbound shipments compliant. We handle Electronic Export Information and export paperwork so your goods leave LA cleanly.

Exporting is not just booking a container. Depending on the value and destination of your goods, you may need to file Electronic Export Information, classify under the Schedule B, and comply with export controls. We handle the paperwork so your shipment clears for departure without a hold.

What We Handle on Exports

  • Filing Electronic Export Information (EEI) through the Automated Export System when required.
  • Classifying your goods under Schedule B and checking for licensing requirements.
  • Preparing commercial documentation for your buyer and their customs broker abroad.
  • Coordinating ocean or air freight for the outbound move.

Avoiding Export Penalties

Missing or inaccurate export filings carry their own penalties, and a hold on the outbound side can be just as costly as one on the import side. We make sure your EEI is filed correctly and on time so your cargo makes its sailing or flight.

One Team, Both Directions

Many of our clients both import and export. Handling both under one roof means consistent classification and one point of contact for your whole trade program.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need to file Electronic Export Information?

EEI is generally required when a single commodity in your shipment is valued over $2,500 or requires an export license. We determine whether your shipment needs it and file it for you.

What is a Schedule B number?

Schedule B is the classification system for exported goods, closely related to the HTS used for imports. We assign the correct Schedule B number so your export is declared properly.

Can you arrange the freight for my export too?

Yes. We coordinate ocean and air freight for outbound shipments alongside the export clearance, so the whole move is handled together.
