About MEADOWS WYE CO INC
Meadows Wye & Co., Inc. is a family-owned customs broker and international freight forwarder headquartered in Staten Island, New York, with roots going back to 1903. The company holds CBP filer code 362 and handles roughly 12,000 import shipments annually across ocean and air modes. Meadows Wye operates six distribution centers across North America, Europe, and Asia, giving clients a genuinely global footprint. The firm is particularly well regarded for its work in the print and publishing industry — a niche that demands precise scheduling, specialized handling, and reliable customs clearance. Beyond publishing, Meadows Wye offers warehousing, distribution, and full customs entry services for a broad range of importers seeking a broker with deep institutional knowledge and a long track record.
Meadows Wye & Co., Inc. stands among a rare group of American customs brokers that can trace their history back more than a century. Founded in 1903 and headquartered at 2506 Forest Avenue in Staten Island, New York, the company has built a reputation for stability, specialization, and genuine expertise in the mechanics of US import requirements. With CBP filer code 362, Meadows Wye operates as both a licensed customs broker and a full-service international freight forwarder, giving importers a single point of contact from origin to final delivery.
The firm processes approximately 12,000 import shipments per year, a volume that reflects consistent demand from a loyal client base. Six distribution centers — spanning North America, Europe, and Asia — allow Meadows Wye to coordinate complex, multi-leg supply chains without relying entirely on third-party infrastructure. Annual revenues in the $6.5 million range underscore a focused, mid-market operation rather than a commodity freight house.
Meadows Wye's most distinctive specialty is logistics support for the print and publishing industry. Coordinating the importation of printed materials, periodicals, and publishing supplies requires tight scheduling, careful HTS code classification, and a thorough understanding of customs bond requirements and continuous customs bond obligations. The firm's century-plus of experience translates directly into fewer delays and fewer classification errors for clients in this space.
Beyond publishing, the company handles ocean and air freight forwarding for consumer goods and general merchandise importers. Services include Importer Security Filing (ISF) preparation to meet ISF filing requirements ahead of vessel departure, customs entry preparation through the CBP ACE portal, HTS code research, and coordination of customs duty drawback claims where applicable. The team also assists clients in evaluating continuous customs bond coverage and navigating the usitc tariff database for accurate duty assessment.
Located in Staten Island, Meadows Wye is well positioned to serve the Port of New York and New Jersey — one of the busiest container ports on the East Coast — while also maintaining global reach through its international distribution network. Importers looking for a family-owned broker with deep institutional memory, publishing logistics expertise, and full freight forwarding capability will find Meadows Wye a substantive option among New York-area licensed brokers.
