Cal Cartage CES Fee Schedule Approved — Los Angeles/Long Beach Area

CBP has approved the proposed fee schedule for Cal Cartage Customs Exam Station, LLC (Cal Cartage) as a Centralized Examination Station (CES). Importers whose cargo is directed to this CES will be subject to the newly approved fee structure for examination services.

Our Position

Our position is that clients with regular cargo moving through the LA/Long Beach gateway review the Cal Cartage fee schedule now so CES costs can be factored into landed-cost calculations and dispute resolution procedures are understood before an exam occurs.

AI-assisted summary of a published CBP, USITC or Federal Register notice, with JFS CHB's position on it. For awareness only — always verify against the official notice before acting. Our position is general commentary on a published notice, not legal advice and not a binding opinion on any shipment. Nothing here creates a broker-client relationship or a duty of care, and it is not a substitute for a ruling, a licensed review of your facts, or the official notice itself.
