Narrative:

On 04/wed/03 about XA45 EDT, I departed on a flight from vay to 39N. Upon landing at 39N airport, I was told that I needed to call customs because I had allegedly encroached the ny ADIZ. 39N airport is within 1 mile of the inside of the ADIZ ring. I immediately contacted mr X at customs and also ny TRACON and gave them the information they requested. Before the flight, I had checked the NOTAM that was labeled ny ADIZ. The wording of the NOTAM seemed a bit ambiguous in that it was labeled ny ADIZ NOTAM, but actually includes newark as well. I felt that the NOTAM was fairly confusing to interpret. Not less than 24 hours after this happened, the ny ADIZ was cancelled. Although I encroached the airspace, it was not intentional and was a mistake that I tried to rectify immediately.
