T J EXPEDITERS INC

T.J. Expediters Inc has been a fixture in the New York-area customs brokerage and freight forwarding community since its founding in 1985. Operating from Great Neck, NY with a secondary location at 15030 132nd Ave in Jamaica, NY — just minutes from John F. Kennedy International Airport — the firm is strategically positioned to serve the high-volume import traffic that flows through one of the busiest air cargo gateways in the United States.

For importers searching for a customs broker near the JFK corridor, T.J. Expediters offers a full suite of customs clearance and logistics services. The firm prepares and files customs entries across multiple entry types, assists clients with proper 10-digit HTS code classification, and ensures shipments meet all CBP documentation requirements before arrival. Accurate tariff classification is critical for determining duty rates, and T.J. Expediters' licensed brokers have the experience to navigate complex HTS code meanings and apply them correctly to a wide range of imported goods.

The company also handles Importer Security Filing (ISF), commonly known as ISF 10+2 filing, which must be submitted to CBP at least 24 hours before cargo is loaded at a foreign port. Failure to comply with ISF requirements can result in significant penalties, making it essential to work with an experienced filer. T.J. Expediters manages this process as part of its standard ocean import services.

For businesses importing lower-value goods, T.J. Expediters is equipped to advise on Section 321 de minimis entry options, including Type 86 entry customs filings, which have become increasingly important for e-commerce importers. The firm's e-commerce logistics capabilities make it a practical choice for direct-to-consumer import operations moving goods at volume.

Beyond clearance, T.J. Expediters provides continuous customs bond procurement, which is required for importers who bring goods into the U.S. on a regular basis. Understanding import bond requirements — including the difference between single-entry and continuous bonds — is part of the firm's client advisory approach.

T.J. Expediters also supports clients interested in recovering overpaid duties through duty drawback programs. Whether pursuing unused merchandise drawback or other duty drawback broker services, the firm can guide importers through CBP's refund claim process, including prior disclosure CBP filings where applicable.

With air, ocean, warehousing, distribution, and trucking capabilities under one roof, T.J. Expediters functions as a single point of contact for end-to-end import logistics — from the moment cargo departs a foreign port to final delivery in the U.S. Reach the firm via email at yang.liu@tjpsc.com or visit their website for a free quote.
