Tzippy Freund

Tzippy Freund is a CBP-licensed customs broker operating out of Monsey, New York, with filer code 8WX. Located in Rockland County, this broker serves the densely active import community across the New York metropolitan region, with convenient proximity to the Port of New York and New Jersey — one of the largest and most active entry points for goods entering the United States from Europe, Asia, and beyond.

For importers seeking a customs broker in the New York area, Tzippy Freund provides essential customs entry services, including the preparation and filing of commercial entries with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This includes classification of goods using the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), ensuring accurate tariff codes are applied to minimize duty exposure and avoid costly delays at the border.

One of the foundational services offered is Importer Security Filing, commonly known as ISF or the 10+2 filing. This mandatory pre-shipment filing must be submitted at least 24 hours before a vessel departs a foreign port bound for the U.S. Failure to comply with ISF requirements can result in significant CBP penalties, making it critical for importers — especially first-time importers — to work with a knowledgeable broker from the outset.

Tzippy Freund can also assist clients with understanding continuous customs bond requirements, which are essential for importers who bring in goods on a regular basis. A continuous bond covers all entries made throughout a year and is typically more cost-effective for active importers than purchasing single-entry bonds for each shipment.

Additionally, this broker can guide clients through newer CBP filing mechanisms such as Type 86 entries under the Section 321 de minimis program, which allows qualifying low-value shipments (under $800) to enter the U.S. duty-free. For importers involved in e-commerce or frequent small-parcel imports, understanding Section 321 eligibility can result in meaningful cost savings.

For businesses that have overpaid duties on imported merchandise subsequently exported or used in manufacturing, Tzippy Freund can provide guidance on the duty drawback program — a legal mechanism to reclaim duties paid on eligible goods. Navigating a duty drawback claim involves careful documentation and adherence to CBP timelines, making professional broker support particularly valuable.

Located in the heart of Monsey's active business community, Tzippy Freund is well-positioned to assist local importers, small businesses, and commercial enterprises across New York and New Jersey with compliant, efficient customs clearance from start to finish.
