ExportUSA is expanding in New York: new operational headquarters at 45 Main Street

ExportUSA New York Corp is moving to a larger office in the heart of DUMBO, Brooklyn. The new headquarters enhances our ability to assist Italian companies operating in the United States, at a time when US customs demand greater attention to the structure and operations of American subsidiaries.

ExportUSA New York has a new office in Brooklyn

After many years at 18 Bridge Street, our headquarters is moving: 45 Main Street suite 628.

The increase in activities and projects has convinced us to invest in a larger space, capable of meeting the present and future needs of the company. The new office is designed to welcome clients and partners, organize events, and conduct training sessions.

    

The IOR reform makes having an operational presence in the United States even more important

Executive Order 14411 “Strengthening Customs Enforcement” has introduced a revision of the rules for Importer of Record (IOR), the entities responsible for imports into the United States.

The reform distinguishes between American and foreign importers and calls for strict controls on importer identity, customs guarantees, and import procedures. Following the first measures that took effect on September 18, 2026, November 30 marks a new deadline for revising requirements.

Italian companies exporting to the United States without an American subsidiary will face much higher costs, strict controls, complete supply chain monitoring, and a significant reduction in business operations.

Creating an American subsidiary is the solution we propose, but it's not enough to have a registered company and an address in the United States: to achieve domestic importer status, you must prove that your company is truly operational. Say goodbye to PO boxes and virtual offices.

An operational headquarters in the United States to support Italian companies

What advantage for entrepreneurs in light of the Importer of Record reform?

The new ExportUSA office at 45 Main Street is a fully operational structure with full-time professionals supported by Italian staff. Every day, we perform numerous activities on behalf of our clients' American subsidiaries that a company would otherwise need to manage with its own staff and offices in the United States.

Among these are:

• 1. Customer support: we handle phone calls and emails from American clients and suppliers
   
• 2. Business development: we distribute informational material and search for clients, sales agents, buyers, distributors, and food brokers
   
• 3. Logistics: we coordinate and organize shipments from Italy to our logistics center and to final clients in America, manage inventories, inform recipients about shipment status, and handle related issues
   
• 4. Cash flow: we manage and monitor our clients' cash flows and interact with banks to handle checking accounts and resolve payment, deposit, or withdrawal issues
   
• 5. We carry out accounting and tax activities and interface with the IRS and all state fiscal and financial authorities
   
• 6. We manage compliance with FDA, FCC, and CPSC regulations
   
• 7. We manage payroll for clients who have employees
   
• 8. Legal aspects: we are not lawyers, but we act as intermediaries between clients and lawyers to properly frame the contractual issues to be addressed

In this way, companies can entrust a reliable single point of contact with many activities of their American subsidiary, without having to create an entire administrative or commercial department from scratch.

We look forward to welcoming you to our office to discuss your next steps in the American market.
