Khushboo M. Mehandru is a federally licensed U.S. customs broker based in Plainsboro, New Jersey, holding CBP filer code N7Y. Her location in central New Jersey places her within close proximity to the Port of New York and New Jersey — the largest port on the East Coast — as well as Newark Liberty International Airport, making her well-suited to assist commercial importers clearing ocean and air freight shipments into the United States.
For importers trying to understand how to import goods into the USA, working with a licensed customs broker is a critical first step. A licensed broker like Khushboo can handle customs entry preparation, ensure accurate HTS code classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), and submit required documentation through CBP's ACE portal. Proper HTS code lookup and classification directly affects the duties assessed on imported merchandise, making accuracy essential for cost control and compliance.
ISF filing requirements — also known as Importer Security Filing or 10+2 — must be submitted no later than 24 hours before a vessel departs a foreign port bound for the U.S. Failure to comply can result in liquidated damages and cargo holds. A licensed customs broker manages this process and coordinates with carriers and freight forwarders to keep shipments moving.
For businesses with established import programs, duty drawback is another area where working with a licensed broker can yield significant financial benefits. The duty drawback program allows importers to recover up to 99% of duties, taxes, and fees paid on imported merchandise that is subsequently exported or destroyed. Filing a duty drawback claim requires careful documentation and adherence to CBP timelines, areas where professional guidance from a licensed broker matters.
The New Jersey and greater New York metro region is home to a diverse base of importers across industries including consumer goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and textiles. Khushboo's Plainsboro location also places her near major pharmaceutical and life sciences corridors in New Jersey, a region that relies heavily on compliant international supply chains.
Importers interested in customs clearance support, HTS code search assistance, ISF filing, or general CBP compliance guidance are encouraged to contact Khushboo M. Mehandru directly at 609-903-8866.
