About Supreme Customs Brokerage Inc
Supreme Customs Brokerage Inc (SCB) is a CBP-licensed customs broker based in Staten Island, New York, holding filer code N8R and a national permit to clear goods at any port in the United States. The firm offers customs brokerage, freight forwarding across rail, air, and ocean modes, and warehousing services. SCB also provides Chinese-language services (中文服务), making it a practical choice for importers sourcing goods from China and other parts of Asia. The team has hands-on experience navigating tariff classification, HTS code determinations, and CBP compliance requirements, helping importers avoid costly delays at the border.
Supreme Customs Brokerage Inc (SCB) is a licensed US customs broker headquartered in Staten Island, New York, operating under CBP filer code N8R. With a national customs broker permit, SCB is authorized to file entries and clear shipments at any port of entry across the United States — from the Port of New York and New Jersey to major gateways on the Gulf Coast and West Coast.
SCB's core practice centers on customs entry preparation and the timely release of commercial goods through US Customs and Border Protection. The brokers on staff are experienced with HTS code classification, including accurate 10-digit tariff code determinations that affect duty rates, admissibility, and regulatory requirements. Proper classification is foundational to import compliance, and errors can trigger CBP exams, penalty exposure, or delayed cargo — all situations SCB works to help clients avoid.
A notable feature of SCB's service offering is Chinese-language support (中文服务), a clear signal that the firm regularly assists importers bringing goods from China and greater Asia into the US market. Given the complexity of current Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods, importers benefit from working with a broker that understands both the regulatory landscape and the communication needs of overseas suppliers and trading partners.
Beyond customs clearance, Supreme Customs Brokerage handles freight and logistics coordination across multiple transportation modes — ocean, air, and rail — as well as freight forwarding and warehousing. This integrated approach allows importers to manage their supply chain through a single point of contact rather than coordinating between multiple service providers.
SCB assists clients with importer of record requirements, continuous customs bond procurement, and Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) submissions, which must be filed at least 24 hours before a vessel departs a foreign port bound for the United States. Failure to file ISF on time can result in CBP liquidated damages, making accurate and timely filing a priority for every ocean shipment.
Importers in the New York metro area looking for a customs broker near me with national port coverage, multilingual capability, and experience across a range of commodity types will find Supreme Customs Brokerage Inc a capable and accessible partner.
