Import Logistics Through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach
If your products are leaving a China manufacturer for the Ports of Los Angeles or Long Beach, your warehouse plan should start before the vessel arrives. EOS supports ocean freight and customs coordination, ETS manages the Southern California drayage leg with its own equipment, operators and dispatch, and EOS warehouses in Ontario and Jurupa Valley receive inventory for the next stage of U.S. distribution.
EOS is built to improve your logistics operations, giving you full visibility and control.
The EOS partnership model provides warehouse infrastructure, proprietary software systems, and specialized divisions across multiple stages of workflows. The results are scalable growth and predictable execution so you can focus on business growth.
How China Imports Move Through LA/Long Beach to EOS Warehouses
From manufacturer readiness through port release, timing matters. A pickup plan needs to match terminal requirements, warehouse appointments and the product information your receiving team will use. EOS and ETS can connect those steps for Southern California imports so freight arrives at a warehouse prepared to receive it.
-
China manufacturer readiness.
Share the factory-ready date, product details, packaging and planned container volume. EOS aligns origin-side information with the U.S. warehouse plan.
-
Ocean freight to Los Angeles or Long Beach.
Coordinate the ocean freight plan and destination port so expected arrival and the receiving operation stay connected.
-
Customs and U.S. entry.
Align documentation, the responsible customs parties and release timing. The warehouse and transportation teams can plan against the expected arrival.
-
Port arrival and ETS drayage.
After release, ETS manages the LA/Long Beach pickup and delivery with its Southern California equipment, operators and dispatch.
-
EOS container receiving and storage.
EOS evaluates Ontario or Jurupa Valley for unloading, verification, inventory registration and storage based on the product and operating requirements.
-
Fulfillment or B2B distribution.
Inventory can be prepared for ecommerce and marketplace orders, B2B pallet distribution or an eligible regional move through EOS Transportation.
ETS Drayage from the LA/Long Beach Ports
ETS is an EOS department serving Southern California.
Drayage is more than moving a box off a terminal. Container pickup, release status and receiving appointments need to align. In Southern California, ETS manages this movement with its own equipment, operators and dispatch so EOS can plan the receiving handoff around the freight that is actually coming. Ask our team to review your port, container volume and timing.

EOS Transportation for Eligible Southern California Deliveries
EOS Transportation is an EOS department serving Southern California.
After receiving and warehouse processing, some shipments need regional delivery rather than parcel fulfillment or linehaul. EOS Transportation operates a Southern California box truck service for eligible regional moves. Share the load, destination, timing and delivery requirements so the team can confirm whether that service fits.
