Rupinder Kaur

Rupinder Kaur holds an active CBP customs broker license with filer code N7J, operating out of Princeton, New Jersey. Situated in Mercer County, Princeton sits at a crossroads between the Port of New York and New Jersey — one of the busiest container ports on the East Coast — and the dense commercial and industrial corridors of central New Jersey. This geographic positioning gives Kaur's brokerage practice direct relevance to importers moving goods through Newark, Port Newark Container Terminal, and the surrounding logistics infrastructure.

New Jersey is home to a significant concentration of pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical device companies, consumer goods distributors, and electronics importers, all of whom require precise customs entry preparation to maintain compliance with CBP and partner government agencies. For these importers, accurate HTS code classification — including the full 10-digit HTS code required on formal entry filings — is critical to determining correct duty rates and avoiding costly delays or penalties at the border.

Rupinder Kaur can assist importers with both formal and informal entry customs filings, helping clients understand the distinction and select the appropriate entry type based on shipment value and commodity type. For higher-volume or higher-value importers, securing a continuous customs bond is a fundamental compliance requirement, while single-entry bond customs arrangements may suit infrequent shippers. Kaur can advise on import bond requirements based on each client's specific import profile.

ISF 10+2 filing — formally known as the Importer Security Filing — is a mandatory pre-departure requirement for ocean freight shipments entering the United States. Timely and accurate ISF filing helps importers avoid liquidated damages and cargo holds. Kaur's brokerage services include ISF preparation and submission to keep ocean shipments compliant from origin.

For importers exploring cost recovery opportunities, duty drawback programs — including manufacturing drawback, unused merchandise drawback, and other drawback customs provisions — can represent meaningful refund potential on previously paid duties. Additionally, importers shipping lower-value goods may benefit from understanding Section 321 de minimis thresholds and how they interact with formal entry requirements.
