Pilotfisch Solutions, Inc.

Pilotfisch Solutions, Inc. is a licensed U.S. Customs House Brokerage headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, operating under filer code NVD. Founded by Zachary Parizek — a licensed customs broker with a Certified Customs Specialist (CCS) credential — the firm was built around a straightforward philosophy: that a broker's success depends directly on the success of the importers it serves. That mutual interest drives every filing, every compliance review, and every client interaction.

Phoenix sits at a natural crossroads for U.S. importers, with access to major inland freight corridors connecting southern border ports like Nogales and Laredo to distribution hubs across the Southwest. Pilotfisch files customs entries at all U.S. ports of entry, meaning clients are not limited by geography. Whether your cargo arrives by ocean freight at Los Angeles or Long Beach, by air at Phoenix Sky Harbor or a major hub like Chicago O'Hare, or by ground through a southern land border crossing, Pilotfisch can serve as your designated broker.

The firm handles the full range of shipment types: ocean cargo, air cargo, parcel freight from major couriers, and individual hand-carry shipments. This breadth is particularly useful for importers managing diverse supply chains with mixed freight modes. Services extend beyond entry filing to include international logistics management, helping clients coordinate the freight side of their supply chain alongside the compliance side.

For importers navigating U.S. import requirements, Pilotfisch provides practical guidance on CBP entry types, HTS code classification, customs bond requirements — including continuous customs bonds — and Importer Security Filing (ISF) obligations for ocean shipments. The firm also helps clients understand formal vs. informal entry thresholds and the Section 321 de minimis rules that apply to lower-value shipments, which is increasingly relevant for e-commerce and direct-to-consumer importers.

Zachary Parizek's CCS designation signals a commitment to staying current on customs law, partner government agency (PGA) requirements, and evolving trade compliance standards. Pilotfisch's Import Checklist and documented Responsibilities and Best Practices resources reflect a firm that invests in client education — not just transaction processing. Importers who want a broker that explains the why behind customs requirements, and not just the what, will find Pilotfisch Solutions a strong fit.

To get started, Pilotfisch offers online quote requests, a new importer setup process, an online payment portal, and a forms library — making onboarding straightforward for businesses new to working with a licensed broker.
