MAERSK CUSTOMS SERVICES USA INC.

Maersk Customs Services USA Inc. operates as the licensed customs brokerage arm of the A.P. Moller-Maersk group within the United States, headquartered at 180 Park Avenue, Suite 105, Florham Park, New Jersey 07932. Holding CBP filer code 316, this broker is authorized to file entries on behalf of importers across all US ports of entry, providing a centralized brokerage solution that complements Maersk's broader ocean freight and supply chain services.

For importers trying to understand how to import goods into the USA, Maersk Customs Services USA offers the procedural depth expected of a global logistics operator. This includes preparation and submission of customs entries through the CBP ACE portal, ensuring accurate HTS code classification against the harmonized tariff schedule, and adherence to all US import requirements from admissibility to duty payment. Importers working with Maersk on ocean shipments benefit from tightly integrated customs filing workflows, reducing the friction between freight arrival and cargo release.

Importer Security Filing — commonly known as ISF filing — is a critical pre-arrival compliance obligation for ocean imports, and Maersk Customs Services USA is well-positioned to manage ISF filing requirements given its direct ties to vessel operators and container data systems. Timely and accurate ISF submissions help importers avoid costly CBP penalties and cargo holds.

The broker also supports customs bond requirements, ensuring importers maintain valid continuous bonds or single-entry bonds as required by CBP. For companies with established import programs, the team can assist with hts code search and classification decisions, leveraging the USITC tariff database to determine correct duty rates and any applicable trade remedies including Section 301 or antidumping considerations.

Importers with qualifying circumstances may also benefit from guidance on the duty drawback program. Maersk Customs Services USA can advise on duty drawback claims for goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed, helping importers recover previously paid duties and reduce landed cost over time. Additionally, for low-value e-commerce shipments, understanding section 321 de minimis thresholds is increasingly relevant, and this brokerage brings the scale and systems to support importers navigating modern trade flows.

With consistent US import activity on record and a nationally recognized brand behind it, Maersk Customs Services USA Inc. represents a credible choice for mid-to-large importers seeking brokerage services integrated with their existing Maersk shipping relationships.
