 Customs duties affect a lot of business

American consulting firms often warn their clients about the potential risks of international trade transactions. These companies also offer advice on ways to reduce the risk of international trade transactions.


These are important considerations that clients should not ignore. Many clients forget to take into account customs duties. Your revenue could be affected by customs duties and tariffs. To obtain US Customs data, you can use several trade data driven programs.



The benefits of hiring:


  • They can make it harder to import or export. You may not be subject to duties but it is possible to obtain a lower tariff.
  • Expert advice is always a good idea. Clients often use freight forwarders and clearing agents to inform them about the applicable customs duties. Many people don't have the skills to make customs decisions. This could lead to severe financial consequences. Improperly determining the customs duty could result in retrospective duties or even imprisonment. The goods will be held until all taxes have been paid. Recent case law has shown that ignorance or intent on either side of the border is irrelevant in the mitigation of incorrect duties and penalties.


False declarations could mean that you are not involved in the import or export process. It may not be possible to import or export the product. This was evident in recent quotas on textiles and clothing imported from China. Importers who imported goods with incorrect tariff headings were often exempted of quotas. To avoid this, consult a lawyer. Your company will be able to save more money than the loss they could have suffered if they didn't get the advice.


You don't need to limit the amount of tax that a product has to pay in customs duties. This information could be helpful to position your company. A thorough understanding of customs duties will reveal that there are many ways to get a refund (also known as a drawback discount, rebate) for import taxes you have already paid. This knowledge will position you as an exporter. Find out more about US Trade Data.


These import products are exempt from tax and include:


  • Imports of goods that are used in other products
  • Imports of goods used in the production of goods for export
  • Imports of goods temporarily kept in a country to repair, adjust, or modify. then reexported.
  • Imported goods local consumption
  • Every refund is different and may not be available to importers. Refunds must be requested by importers. Before a refund request can be approved, an importer must comply with specific legal requirements. The laws that are observed will determine the purpose of an import. It is worth examining your company's customs exposure. This could save your company a lot of money.
