There are many laws, requirements and high duties on different products and the most important thing we do for our clients is to keep them advised of these to protect them from penalties or extremely high duties on items.
An example is one client bought a container of bedroom furniture from China. When the freight came in and they contacted us to clear customs for them, they were shocked to find out the anti dumping tax on their furniture was 297% of their invoice value. If they had checked with us in advance on the product, we could have advised them of this before they purchased the order. We are here to help your company. If you have any questions at all regarding buying from China, just contact us and we will gladly help you with any of your concerns. And do not forget, ISF must be filed on all ocean shipments at least 48 hours before they depart the origin or you can be fined up to $5,000.00 from U.S. Customs
