CBP Urges Email Communications with LAX Trade Interface Unit

Los Angeles International Airport customs filers should communicate with the Trade Interface Unit (TIU) via email, said CBP's Los Angeles field office in a public bulletin. The volume of faxes to the TIU has increased heavily over the recent months and filers should communicate to the TIU through email at LAXTIU@CBP.DHS.GOV. Filers should wait up to 24 hours for a reply before following up, it said. Email to the TIU should include the name of the person requesting assistance, phone number, and a subject line that contains the reason for the request and the entry number, the notice said.
