| Import Services
Whether your goods arrive via ocean, air, or land carrier, our experienced staff will immediately take action to expedite the Customs clearance and release of your shipments.
An account executive will work closely with you reviewing the items you import to properly classify the items as well as assess the documentation required to enter the items. Care is taken to assure that you benefit from any special provisions allowed by U.S. Customs.
Where possible, entries are pre-filed for pre-clearance of cargo prior to its arrival at the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
We have scheduled messenger service, throughout the day, between our office and the U.S. Customs facility at the harbor.
For air cargo clearances, Wiley personnel continually picks up documents throughout the day from air carriers for entry preparation and filing. With the U.S. Customs air cargo facility being around the corner from us, we are routinely in and out of there throughout the day filing entries and picking up Delivery Authorization Documents (DAD) on cleared merchandise.
Also available to you are late night or weekend clearance services at LAX. Meeting of passengers at LAX for Customs clearance of hand carried shipments is also available.
Through our network of correspondent Customs Brokers, we are able to provide clearance of import cargo at any port in the United States.

Insurance
To protect your financial interest, we strongly recommend to both importers and exporters to insure their shipments. The insuring of cargo has long played an important role in international shipping transactions. Sellers need the assurance that they will get paid for the goods sold and buyers need to receive their goods in marketable condition.
You should be aware that according to the terms on carriers' bills of ladings, whether the cargo moves via ocean, air, or land carrier, the carriers' liability is very limited, should there be any damage or loss.
As Customs Brokers and Foreign Freight Forwarders, we can see to it that your cargo is properly insured at competitive rates.

Through our resources and association with several Customs bonded warehouses, domestic warehouses, and trucking companies, we are able to provide you with economical warehouse and distribution services. You can send us your complete distribution instructions on each of your import shipments, and we will arrange for pick up, sorting, labeling, and forwarding of your shipment to your customers.
