Dear Customer,
Due to the federal government budget sequestration the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced a cut back in staffing availability. Marine terminals in Long Beach and Los Angeles, California as a result have announced that import container processing available first and second shift end gate hours will be reduced by 30 minutes.
