Why here
Our office and warehousing are in Orange County, minutes from the Los Angeles and Long Beach terminals, the nation's busiest container port complex. Proximity is not a slogan: it means same-day pickups when a vessel discharges early, exams handled in person, and a warehouse close enough that a container can be unloaded the day it leaves the terminal.
How we work
One account for the whole route. Itemised pricing with nothing hidden in an all-in rate. Licensed partners for every regulated step: CBP-licensed customs brokers, FMC-licensed ocean intermediaries, TSA-approved air carriers, FMCSA-authorised truckers and licensed insurers. And people who answer: a named coordinator for every client, reachable by email, phone and chat during Pacific business hours.
Where we come from
Ammerican grew out of importing heavy, awkward cargo for our own account: natural stone slabs from quarries in Brazil, India, Italy and Turkey into Southern California. Years of containers, exams, demurrage fights and marketplace prep taught us what a shipper actually needs to see, and what gets buried. We built the service we wished we had.
Compliance and licensing
As of November 2026, customs business for Ammerican clients is transacted by independent, CBP-licensed customs brokers under a power of attorney from the client; international carriage is arranged through FMC-licensed and TSA-approved intermediaries; trucking is performed by FMCSA-authorised carriers; insurance is placed through licensed providers. We will update this section as licences and registrations are granted in Ammerican's own name.
