The vast majority of cargo entering Los Angeles comes by sea. We arrange your ocean freight into the Port of LA and Long Beach and clear it under the same roof, so your transportation and your customs entry are never working against each other.

FCL and LCL

Full container load (FCL) is the move for volume shippers. Less-than-container-load (LCL) lets smaller importers share a container and pay for the space they use. We book either, then handle the ISF, the entry, and the drayage.

Coordinated With Clearance

Because we are your broker and your forwarder, we file ahead of arrival and time the drayage to your container's availability, keeping your goods inside free time and off the demurrage clock.

Deconsolidation and Distribution

For consolidated shipments we arrange container freight station deconsolidation and onward distribution across the LA basin.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL is a full container for one shipper; LCL shares a container among several shippers who each pay for their portion. We arrange both and clear the cargo either way.

Do you clear the cargo you forward?

Yes. We are a customs broker and freight forwarder, so your ocean freight and your customs clearance are handled by the same team, timed to avoid demurrage.

Which ports do you forward into?

The Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, the two busiest container ports in the country.
