About WORTHMORE FORWARDING INC
Worthmore Forwarding Inc is a CBP-licensed customs broker based in Valley Stream, New York, serving importers in the greater New York metropolitan area. Operating under filer code G75, the firm is positioned near JFK International Airport and the Port of New York and New Jersey — two of the busiest cargo gateways in the United States. Worthmore Forwarding assists importers with customs entry preparation, importer security filing, and regulatory compliance across a wide range of commercial shipments. Whether you are a first-time importer navigating HTS classification or an established business managing high-volume cargo, Worthmore Forwarding offers the local expertise and CBP credentials to facilitate compliant clearance.
Worthmore Forwarding Inc holds a CBP-issued customs broker license under filer code G75 and operates out of Valley Stream, New York — a community in Nassau County on Long Island, strategically located just minutes from John F. Kennedy International Airport. This geographic advantage places the firm in close proximity to one of the highest-volume air cargo hubs on the East Coast, making it a practical choice for importers moving goods through JFK or the broader Port of New York and New Jersey complex.
For importers seeking a customs broker near them in the New York area, Worthmore Forwarding represents a licensed, locally rooted option with direct access to the regional CBP port of entry. The firm supports commercial entry processing in accordance with CBP regulations, including the preparation and submission of CBP Form 3461 for release and CBP Form 7501 for entry summary. Accurate HTS code classification is central to every entry — ensuring that duty rates are correctly applied and that importers avoid costly compliance errors related to misclassification.
Importer Security Filing (ISF), also known as the 10+2 rule, is a mandatory requirement for ocean cargo entering the United States, and timely ISF submission is a critical responsibility that Worthmore Forwarding can manage on behalf of importers. For businesses that import regularly, securing a continuous customs bond through a licensed broker helps avoid the cost and delay of single-entry bonds on every shipment.
New York-area importers frequently deal with a broad range of commodity types, including consumer goods, electronics, textiles, and general merchandise arriving from global trading partners. Worthmore Forwarding's positioning near JFK also makes it well-suited for time-sensitive air freight shipments where rapid customs release is essential.
For first-time importers, understanding concepts like the HTS code system, de minimis thresholds under Section 321, and when a formal commercial entry is required can be daunting. A licensed broker like Worthmore Forwarding can explain these requirements, guide importers through their obligations under 19 USC and CBP regulations, and help avoid common pitfalls such as underpaying duties or failing to meet ISF deadlines.
Importers with prior overpayments of duties may also benefit from understanding duty drawback programs under 19 USC 1313, which can allow for refunds on duties paid for goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed. Working with a knowledgeable broker to evaluate eligibility for duty drawback refunds can represent meaningful cost recovery for qualifying businesses.
