From home gyms to commercial gyms, we can help import fitness equipment from China and the world to Los Angeles.
Finding a Qualified Fitness Equipment Supplier
There are many quality fitness equipment manufacturers in China and in Asia manufacturing smith machines, treadmills, pilate reformers, and more. The challenge is finding a supplier with the required certifications to export to the U.S. They must also hold the required export licenses and certifications from their country for exporting to the U.S. Websites such as Alibaba are a great tool to find and contact suppliers in Asia.
Registering as a Fitness Equipment Importer
You must register as an importer with the U.S. CBP to import fitness equipment for commercial purposes into the U.S. We can register you as an importer on your behalf through a power of attorney form. We can also assist you with purchasing a continuous entry bond if you plan on importing more than once per year.
Arrange for Air or Ocean Shipping
We can arrange an end-to-end air or ocean freight for your fitness equipment cargo from Asia to your door in Los Angeles. Whether you’re shipping one pallet or a full container load, we’ve got you covered.
Clearing U.S. Custom Duties
Upon arrival in the U.S., you must pay customs duties on the commercial value of your cargo. You must also present the packing list, commercial invoice, and certificate of origin for CBP processing. Fitness equipment containing steel and/or aluminum is subject to extra tariffs as of 2025.
Local Fees in Los Angeles
Air freight cargo arriving to LAX is subject to terminal handling fees in the range of $ 90 – $ 150, known as import service charge. FCL and LCL cargo arriving via ocean freight to Los Angeles or Long Beach ports is subject to PierPass, about $ 80 – $ 110 per container depending on your container size.
