LESCHACO, INC.

Leschaco, Inc. has operated as a licensed U.S. customs broker and freight forwarder since 1978, making it one of the more established logistics providers serving the New York/New Jersey port region. The company's Jersey City, NJ office sits directly across from Lower Manhattan, providing immediate access to the Port of New York and New Jersey — the largest port on the East Coast and a primary entry point for containerized imports from Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

For importers navigating the complexities of U.S. customs clearance, Leschaco offers customs entry preparation, importer security filing (ISF), and HTS code classification support to ensure shipments move efficiently through CBP processing. Proper classification under the harmonized tariff schedule is critical to determining accurate duty rates, and Leschaco's commodity expertise spans a wide range — from chemicals and pharmaceuticals to consumer goods, machinery, and automotive parts.

A defining characteristic of Leschaco's U.S. operation is its specialization in tank container logistics. The company was a pioneer in NVOCC tank container services and continues to serve as a competence center for tank container operations across the Americas, with its Houston, TX office supporting energy, chemical, and bulk liquid cargo moving through Gulf Coast ports. This dual-office footprint gives Leschaco flexibility to handle both East Coast and Gulf Coast entries.

As a member of the broader Leschaco Group — a German-headquartered logistics organization with offices in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, India, China, Southeast Asia, and throughout Latin America — the U.S. entity offers importers genuine global reach. This is particularly relevant for companies sourcing from multiple regions who need a single logistics partner capable of coordinating freight, customs documentation, and compliance across jurisdictions.

Leschaco's services extend beyond basic customs brokerage into full supply chain management, including LCL and FCL ocean freight, air freight, intermodal transport, contract logistics, and hazardous goods handling. For importers dealing with regulated commodities — including chemicals subject to EPA or TSCA requirements, or pharma products requiring FDA entry review — having a broker with deep experience in compliance and safety documentation is a meaningful operational advantage.

Importers working with Leschaco can also expect support with customs bond requirements, ACE portal filings, and coordination of duty drawback claims where applicable. Whether you are importing specialty chemicals through Bayonne, automotive components through Newark, or consumer goods through New York, Leschaco's Jersey City office provides a knowledgeable point of contact for U.S. customs compliance.
