Phoenix Int'l Business Logistics Inc.

Phoenix Int'l Business Logistics, Inc. — known in the trade as PIBL — is a licensed U.S. customs broker and interstate freight broker headquartered at 1201 Corbin Street, Elizabeth, NJ 07201. With filer code WSW assigned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, PIBL is an established presence in the Port of New York and New Jersey trade corridor, one of the largest import gateways on the Eastern Seaboard.

Elizabeth, New Jersey sits adjacent to Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, making it a strategically important location for importers sourcing goods from Europe, Asia, Latin America, and beyond. Importers searching for a customs broker near the Port of New York/New Jersey will find PIBL well-positioned to handle customs entry preparation, HTS code classification, and CBP entry processing across a wide range of commodity types — from consumer goods and textiles to machinery and equipment.

PIBL's documented involvement with trade show logistics — specifically providing U.S. customs and international shipping instructions for NY NOW exhibitors at the Jacob Javits Center — reflects the firm's experience managing complex, deadline-driven import scenarios. Trade show freight requires precise coordination of formal vs. informal entry customs procedures, timely importer security filing (ISF), and strict adherence to CBP entry requirements to avoid costly delays.

As a licensed interstate property broker under 49 U.S.C. § 13102(2), PIBL extends its capabilities beyond port clearance into domestic freight coordination, offering importers a more complete logistics solution. This dual licensing allows the firm to manage cargo from the moment it arrives at port through final domestic delivery.

Importers working with PIBL can expect support navigating key compliance requirements including customs bond requirements, continuous customs bond procurement, and partner government agency (PGA) clearances for regulated commodities. The firm can assist with HTS code classification for apparel and textiles, schedule B vs. HTS code determinations for exporters, and guidance on CBP entry types — including section 321 de minimis entries for lower-value shipments and formal entry thresholds for higher-value commercial cargo.

For importers with established import programs, PIBL's experience with East Coast port operations and domestic freight brokerage makes the firm a practical choice for companies looking to consolidate customs clearance and inland transportation under a single point of contact.
