How to Import
Published by US Customs, "Importing into the United States - A Guide for Commercial Importers".
Importing Into the United States provides wide-ranging information about the importing process and import requirements. Every effort to include essential requirements has been made, but it is not possible for a book this size to cover all import laws and regulations. Also, this publication does not supersede or modify any provision of those laws and regulations. Legislative and administrative changes are always under consideration and can occur at any time. Quota limitations on commodities are also subject to change. Therefore, reliance solely on the information in this book may not meet the “reasonable care” standard required of importers.
We urge interested parties to contact their nearest CBP office for information on specific issues or questions. CBP ports of entry, with their addresses and phone numbers, can be found on the US Customs Website under “Ports” at www.cbp.gov
We cannot overemphasize that although the information in this Guide is provided to promote understanding of, and compliance with, importing laws and regulations, the information provided here is for general purposes only. Importers may also wish to obtain guidance from private-sector experts who specialize in importing, for example, licensed customs brokers, attorneys or consultants. Federal agencies whose laws CBP helps to enforce are listed throughout this Guide, as well as in the Appendix and on the US Customs Website.
