Just finished with a box having USB port - what a pain. Test, testing, and yet more tests are the only way to go.
Lotsa stuff and papers from TI, On semi, TE, Littelfuse, etc. If you are very lucky, and the space aliens do interfere, you may be able to find a FAE that actually knows this stuff and can save you from making poor layout and component selection decisions. That is, the physical construction of your box can be just as important as the TVS that is incorporated. Lotsa luck.
