Los Angeles, CA – Transportation and Logistics Hub

Los Angeles is the most productive port in the United States, based on the value of goods and volume transported. Basic advantages like its location near Pacific manufacturing giants like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, combined with access to intercontinental rail and trucking systems, plus the sizable commercial infrastructure found at Los Angeles International Airport, make the Los Angeles Customs District the biggest in the country. The city’s global importance in trade is demonstrated by the nearly 50 foreign companies who have U.S. headquarters in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is home to a large manufacturing industry, boasting over 500,000 employees in manufacturing-related jobs. In recent years, the economy has seen considerable growth. Los Angeles’ original three-tiered, traditional economy (tourism, entertainment and aerospace) has evolved into a balanced, multi-tiered economy with unequaled access to world markets. Steel fabrication is the second largest manufacturing industry, followed closely by fashion apparel. The production of heavy-duty equipment for the agricultural, construction, mining, and oil sectors plays a major role in boosting the regional economy. A fitting statistic for the city with more cars per capita than any other in the world, Los Angeles is second only to Detroit in automobile production among U.S. metropolitan areas. Los Angeles is a major producer of various products such as furniture, petroleum items, print material, rubber goods, electronic gear, glasswork, ceramics, and cement.

The port of Los Angeles has many advantages that make it an attractive option for importers. The sailing frequencies are frequent and reliable, meaning goods can be delivered quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the average transit time from Los Angeles is shorter than other ports in the U.S., saving time and money on shipping costs. Furthermore, the infrastructure at the port of Los Angeles is well-developed and provides easy access to rail services that can transport goods across the country with ease. Finally, there is a wide range of support services available at the port of Los Angeles that can help importers navigate any issues they may encounter during their import process.
