THE LOS ANGELES CUSTOMS DISTRICT IS THE HIGHEST-VALUE CARGO GATEWAY IN THE U.S. AND IN 2012 IT WAS THE FIRST CUSTOMS DISTRICT TO SURPASS $400 BILLION IN ANNUAL TRADE
OUR CUSTOMS DISTRICT INCLUDES THE SAN PEDRO BAY PORTS, PORT OF HUENEME IN VENTURA, LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS (LAX, VAN NUYS, ONTARIO, MOJAVE), MCCARAN FIELD IN LAS VEGAS, AND SEVERAL COASTAL OIL TERMINALS THAT RECEIVE OIL AND FUELS
OUT OF NEARLY $415 BILLION IN CUSTOMS DISTRICT TRADE LAST YEAR, PORTS ACCOUNTED FOR $385
THE STATE AND U.S. VALUE OF TRADE FIGURES HERE REMOVES THE MANUFACTURING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VALUE OF CARGO BUT INCLUDES ALL THE WAREHOUSE AND RETAIL SALES ACTIVITY THAT ACCOMPANIES CARGO MOVEMENT THROUGH OUR PORT.

THE 940 JOB FIGURE IS JUST FOR OUR LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT STAFF.
