Recently, we have been in contact with importers who said they needed U.S. Customs compliance signs in Long Beach, CA. According to insiders, Customs agents have made run-throughs of importers around the Port of Los Angeles and handed out citations. One problem they noted was out-of-compliance signage. Superior Signs and Graphics specializes in designing, producing, and installing compliance signs in and around L.A. and Orange counties.
Did you know that not every sign shop understands what compliance is all about? Not surprisingly, importers have struggled to find assistance with signs that follow the mandated design and display the required verbiage. We can help. Our shop has produced signage for Flexport, JUSDA, and other clients. These projects required strict adherence to narrowly defined specs.
These signs must be placed on chain link fences inside the warehouses that store imported items before the Customs officer inspects them. These signs feature contraband warnings and cite the applicable Title in the law. The lettering follows an easy-to-read upper case font, with black and red words set to contrast with the white background.
Warehouse Customs compliance signs importers at the ports need must also warn workers and those doing business nearby that access to the area is limited. Moreover, the storage area of goods that are not yet inspected has to be clearly marked to prevent any confusion and possible mingling with imports that have already undergone the inspection.
Because the signage is installed inside and outside, the products must be manufactured using materials that will do well in either setting. Our specialists have determined that aluminum and aluminum composites are ideal for this display requirement. Aluminum does not rust; it does not bow or bend with direct sun exposure.
We can imprint the material directly or apply printed vinyl overlays. For the client who wants to protect the investment in the signage, we can also add an anti-graffiti laminate. If vandals tag your signs, they clean up easily with solvent and a soft cloth. There is no longer the need to replace them or paint over the scribbles.
Because there are specific messages that the signs have to display, manufacturers do not have the freedom to add or delete verbiage. Therefore, the sign shop you work with had to have the approved terminology. In addition, because the lettering requirements tend to change over the years, the shop must remain at the forefront of such changes to implement them as they occur.
We specialize in putting together compliant signs using the wording, color palette, durability, and sizing that you need today. Call our shop today to request a free quote!
