One misclassified entry can hold your container for weeks and rack up storage and demurrage. AEEM's licensed brokers file your entries accurately the first time — HTS classification, valuation, ISF, and duty payment handled before your freight ever hits the dock.
And because we also run the drayage, warehousing, and trucking, cleared freight rolls straight from the terminal to your door — no handoffs between a broker, a trucker, and a warehouse that don't talk to each other.
Before your freight ships, we review commercial invoices, confirm HTS classification and valuation, and file your ISF (10+2) on time — so nothing surprises you at the port.
We file the customs entry electronically with CBP, calculate duties and tariffs, and handle payment through our bond — with every charge itemized for you upfront.
If CBP flags your container for an exam or hold, we coordinate directly with the terminal and exam site, keep you posted daily, and push to minimize storage and demurrage.
Once released, our own drayage and trucking take it from the terminal to your warehouse or ours — one team, vessel to door, with all entry documents archived in your portal.
A Los Angeles–based drayage network built for speed, compliance, and visibility — from reefer cargo to overweight loads.
Headquartered minutes from the Ports of LA, Long Beach, and LAX — with remote filing at every U.S. port of entry. Local presence where your freight lands, coverage everywhere else.
Duties, tariffs, and holds explained in plain English by one dedicated contact — with proactive updates at every entry milestone, before you have to ask.
Brokerage fees, duties, bonds, and disbursements itemized upfront — you see exactly what CBP charges versus what we charge, every time.
Track entry status, releases, holds, and documents in real time through our portal — with a desk that answers 24/7/365 when something needs a human.
HTS classification, Section 301 and IEEPA tariff guidance, duty drawback, and refund claims — including recovering duties you may have overpaid.
Because we run the drayage and trucking too, released containers don't sit at the terminal — they roll straight to your dock, often the same day.

Deep local presence at Southern California's gateways, with electronic remote filing everywhere else CBP operates
