Viking Sea/Air Freight Inc is a CBP-licensed customs broker headquartered in Sloatsburg, New York, serving importers who move cargo via both ocean and air freight. The company's filer code 481 is recognized with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, authorizing it to prepare and submit customs entries on behalf of importers across the United States.
Located in Rockland County, just northwest of New York City, Viking Sea/Air Freight Inc is strategically positioned to serve the greater New York and New Jersey import corridor. The Port of New York and New Jersey ranks among the largest container ports on the East Coast, handling millions of TEUs annually across terminals in Bayonne, Newark, and Brooklyn. Simultaneously, JFK International Airport and Newark Liberty handle enormous volumes of air cargo — making dual-mode brokerage expertise especially valuable for importers in this region.
For first-time importers, navigating CBP requirements can be complex. Viking Sea/Air Freight Inc assists clients with commercial entry customs CBP processes, including preparation of CBP Form 3461 for immediate delivery and entry summary documentation. Correctly classifying goods using HTS codes is a foundational step in every shipment — whether you're determining the hts code for electronics, machinery, consumer goods, or textiles, accurate classification drives duty rates and compliance.
The firm is equipped to handle importer security filing (ISF) — also known as the 10+2 rule — which must be submitted at least 24 hours before ocean cargo is loaded at a foreign port. For air freight shipments, expedited entry processes help move time-sensitive cargo quickly through customs. Importers who qualify may also benefit from Section 321 de minimis provisions for low-value shipments, or Type 86 entry customs filings for e-commerce and informal entries.
Businesses that have overpaid duties in the past may be eligible for a duty drawback refund. Viking Sea/Air Freight Inc can advise importers on how to file duty drawback claims through CBP's duty drawback program, recovering previously paid duties on goods that were subsequently exported or destroyed. Maintaining a continuous customs bond ensures importers can file entries throughout the year without interruption.
Whether you are an established importer or exploring customs clearance options for the first time, Viking Sea/Air Freight Inc offers licensed brokerage services built around both sea and air freight operations in one of the most active import markets in the United States.
