LAX Air Centralized Examination Station (CES) Solicitation Issued

CBP has issued a solicitation for a Centralized Examination Station at LAX Air, meaning a new or renewed CES operator may be selected to handle CBP-directed exams for air cargo at Los Angeles International Airport. Importers moving high-volume air freight through LAX should be aware that CES operator, location, or fee structures could change as a result of this solicitation.

Our Position

CES transitions at major air gateways like LAX can affect exam turnaround times and costs — we will track this solicitation and notify affected air-freight clients of any changes to exam site locations or fee schedules once a selection is made.

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.
