Hi there! In response to your question: No, you always have to declare the amount. The $10K threshold is for the FinCEN 105 Form. Anything above $10K requires that form. If you'd like more help on this, here's a link a direct contact link to our customs brokerage services. usacustomsclearance.com/contact/

Thank you for your observation. Yes, the main requirement is that the microchip be readable by a universal scanner, which is most readily achieved when a ISO certified microchip is used and why the CDC specifies it. This is why it is listed as a requirement.

Good morning. The shipping cost should not be part of the declared value as they can vary slightly from carrier to carrier. So they won't impact your import duties. If you need more specific help with filing entry permits or covering import duties, please fill out our contact form here: usacustomsclearance.com/contact/

Hello sir. At the moment, we focus on helping with the import process itself. If you are able to export directly to the USA, we can help you with a foreign importer of record registration. Please visit our site at usacustomsclearance.com for our other services.

Yes...how can I contact U?

Anything entering the U.S. that's valued at over $2,500 requires you to obtain a customs bond, so your seller is covering the bases with that information. I'm not sure if a Pokemon card would be considered art or not, but I can direct you to an article we have on that subject where you can get more information. usacustomsclearance.com/process/importing-art-into-the-us/

An item that's $150 falls under the $800 de minimis rule, meaning it should be able to enter duty-free. But while there may not be a duty owned, other import clearance documents may still be needed. Feel free to reach out at (855) 912-0406 for more specifics.

Since the purchase falls under the $800 de minimis value, you should be clear to import it without paying a duty fee if the product comes from Japan. To be certain, I still recommend giving one of our brokers a call at (855) 912-0406.

Stringed instruments, like guitars, have a tariff applied that can be anywhere from 4.5% to 8.7% of its total value. Without knowing other specifics about the instrument, other than the price, I can't be more specific. If it really is valued at $3,200, you should know that you'll also need to apply for a custom bond before entry. For more specifics, you can reach out to one of our customs brokers here: usacustomsclearance.com/contact/

Hi there! Technically, $477 does fall below the $2,500 requirement for a customs bond. However, there may be additional documents needed in the declaration depending on what materials were used to make the bag. You can submit a more detailed query here: usacustomsclearance.com/contact/

Was there a custom fee?

@@crystal8373 no. I think it has to be over $2500. I ordered two different luxury bags. Under $500. No fees!

The majority of customs duties are based on a small percentage of the purchase price/item value. In theory then, the customs cost is less. If the item happens to fall under an additional tariff, like AD or CVD, it may be more. However, when importing from Japan this is unlikely. For more information, please contact our customs brokerage team at usacustomsclearance.com

Hello! While the value of the Switch is under what is needed for a Customs Bond, the duty itself would be based on its exact HTS code. As for the seller, it may be best to see if you can get in touch directly to ensure they are aware it will be an international purchase. I would recommend you get directly in touch with one of our customs brokers via email at: [email protected] Best of luck with your import!

Did anything happened?

It would depend on various factors, including the car's manufacturing age and build specifications. If you'd like to over specific details, I'd advise you to schedule a session with one of our customs brokers and have the information on the vehicle you wish to import at hand. Provide your information and question here and someone will be reaching out: usacustomsclearance.com/contact/

An oral declaration is when a verbal declaration of value is provided to customs authorities upon arrival. The value is what the importer says it is. Mind you, this means the person has to travel with the art. Realize that the customs officer will still ask for details and the responses will be recorded. In that moment, they can also still decide that a written declaration is needed, depending on the provided details. In any case, it's best to contact a licensed customs broker if there are any doubts about the ability to do so. You can reach our customs brokerage team here: usacustomsclearance.com/contact/

The final duty would ultimately depend on the bag's features. Interior and external material, clasps, and others - all of these things affect the final amount. Find out more with help from our brokerage team at usacustomsclearance.com/us-customs-brokerage-services/

Yes, shipping manifests are available to specific members of the general public upon request. These are often companies that later publish them online for others to find. If you would like to deny access to your shipping manifest, visit USA Customs Clearance and check out our 'Manifest Confidentiality' filing. Our customs brokers will file the needed paperwork to ensure that your shipping manifests, and all the information it contains, are kept private. usacustomsclearance.com/product/manifest-confidentiality/

It would depend on the type of lens. $215 is technically under the de minimis value, but other fees may still apply. You can check for current duty rates by visiting usacustomsclearance.com/hts-code-lookup for more information.

While the price of the bike itself may fall under the de minimis value, other factors may be at play that wouldn't be evident until the bike has to go through clearance procedures. We recommend you visit our site and arrange to speak with one of our licensed customs brokers. usacustomsclearance.com/import-consulting-services/
