NANCY THERESA STOLFA

Nancy Theresa Stolfa is a federally licensed customs broker holding CBP license and filer code GP9, with her practice based in Mastic Beach, New York. Located on Long Island, she is well-positioned to serve importers moving commercial freight through the Port of New York and New Jersey — one of the busiest container ports on the East Coast — as well as John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.

For importers managing US import requirements, working with a licensed broker like Nancy means having a qualified professional handle the full range of entry documentation on your behalf. This includes customs entry preparation across standard CBP entry types, Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions required for ocean shipments, and HTS code classification to ensure goods are correctly categorized under the USITC tariff database. Accurate HTS code classification directly impacts the duty rate applied to your shipment, making it a critical step in any import transaction.

Customs bond requirements are another area where an experienced broker provides real value. Whether a shipment requires a single-entry bond or an importer is ready to establish a continuous customs bond for ongoing trade activity, Nancy can guide clients through the process and ensure CBP compliance at time of entry. Importers new to US trade or those expanding into new product categories benefit from this foundational guidance.

Nancy's practice also supports work within the CBP ACE Portal, the federal system used for filing entries and managing import records. Proper use of the ACE portal and accurate data submission helps importers avoid exam holds, delays, and potential customs compliance issues down the line.

For businesses exploring cost-recovery options, the duty drawback program allows importers to reclaim duties paid on goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed. Identifying eligibility for a duty drawback claim is a value-added service that can meaningfully reduce landed costs for qualifying importers.

As an independent Long Island-based broker, Nancy Theresa Stolfa offers direct communication and practical knowledge of East Coast port operations — a practical choice for commercial importers who want a responsive, licensed professional managing their CBP filings.
