Our History

Founded in 1969 as the JFK Airport Brokers Association with approximately 30 members, we have grown to 120 regular members. Over the years we have developed a close working relationship with CBP resulting in constant dialogue in finding speedy solutions to procedural and day-to-day problems.

We have evolved from a reputation of being a rather parochial and maverick organization, to a gentler mode as an integral and important participant in the workings of the International Trade community at JFK International Airport, throughout the Port of New York, and in matters of concern nationally.

We credit our officers and board members from the inception of this Association who have continually taken time from their daily responsibilities to help continue our work. We have also been fortunate to have the services of Carl Soller since the 1970s, one of the most knowledgeable Customs attorneys in areas relating to brokerage rules and regulations.
