Note: (The information provided below is crucial.)

  1. If you received an original bill of lading (OBL) from your supplier, please sign it anywhere and mail it to your US freight forwarder as soon as possible, and you must be pre-paid for all fees, including trucking fees, warehouse fees, freight forwarder arrival notice fees, customs clearing fees, ISF filing fees, bond fees, exam fees, and so on.
  2. Before the Customs Clearing Document (CBP Forms 7501, 3461, and DO) can be released to you, you must pay the Customs Clearing Invoice, the ISF Invoice, and any other applicable fees.
  3. You/the importer are responsible for all fees and are subject to US Customs rules as well as federal, state, city, and local laws, as well as our oversight.
  4. US Customs has reserved the right to examine your shipment anytime, anywhere, even after you have received 7501, 3461, and Also, change or amend duty or tax on your past shipments, going back up to 7 years.
  5. All trucking arrangements are door-to-unload docks, sidewalks, or door-only, the trucker will not unload your shipment. You, the importer or receiver of the shipment, must unload the shipment(s).
  6. If a trucker is injured while assisting you with loading or unloading, he will or may file a claim against you and/or your company.
  7. After trucking service is arranged and confirmed by you (paid or not), there are no cancellations, refunds, or pro-rating.
  8. Most truckers will allow you 2 hours of unloading or loading at no charge. After 2 hours, your trucker will charge you $75 per hour. Overtime must be paid to the trucker in cash.
  9. If your shipment is a full container or loose cargo, and if you need the container overnight at your location, each container costs $250 per day.
  10. If the trucker needs to return to your location for any reason, he will charge you for additional trucking fees, drop fees, and returning the container to port, and you must pay the trucker.
  11. The container must be cleaned of all debris, etc., after unloading before returning to the port. Otherwise, the owner will charge you $200 or more.
  12. The trucker will charge $150 to $500 or more for home, house, or apartment delivery (residential). In most cities, trucks are not allowed on residential streets. The trucker may only drop off your shipment a few blocks (on a sidewalk) away from your home. The city may levy fines of up to $10,000 per shipment or container on you or the receiver.
  13. If the trucker receives a parking ticket while waiting to unload or load your shipment(s), or any other fines, you or the importer must pay the full amount in cash to the trucker (before unloading).
  14. If you are requesting special delivery of your shipment, such as lift gate, box truck, tri-axle, overweight, oversize, refrigerated, dangerous hazard, and bonded truck and vehicle shipments, etc. To meet your needs, there will be extra charges on trucking arrangements before and/or after. (Please contact your dispatcher.)
  15. Most sea shipments are on pallets; please have your hand pallet jack and/or forklift ready. Again, most truckers will not help with unloading or loading.
  16. For all shipments, we strongly recommend that you get door-to-door all-risk cargo insurance from your international freight forwarder or shipping company to cover damage to your shipment. If you don't have cargo insurance for your shipment and if your shipment is damaged, you will not be able to claim any damage claim. But, if you do have cargo insurance and if your shipment is damaged, you must contact your international freight forwarder or shipping company (information at your BL) within 24 hours from the time you received your shipment with a detailed report and pictures; if not, you will not be able to claim any.
  17. If the shipment is FDA-related, CBP may release it in some cases, but there is still an FDA hold on it. You could pick up your shipment, but it cannot be sold or altered until the FDA hold is lifted. FDA will notify you when you can use or sell the shipment or when it must be returned to your vendor or destroyed at the expense of the importer (could cost $100 to $1,000) and/or refusal documents are issued. Sample of an FDA action notice requiring shipments to be destroyed before release, and sample of an FDA letter instructing you to return to the FDA facility location (this could take up to 4 weeks for the FDA to notify you). This applies to all other US government agencies, such as ATF, TTB, DOT, EPA, USDA, etc. Also, if AD/CVD, FDA, USDA, and/or any other government agencies are involved, the shipment must be cleared with a local broker.
  18. If your LCL shipment is not picked up on time or by the stated date in your arrival notice within 4 or 5 days, you will be paying extra storage fees, it will be moved to a U.S. Customs-bonded go warehouse (general order warehouse), and you or the importer will be paying go fees plus other extra fees. Please contact your freight forwarder and warehouse for details regarding the last free day (before storage is incurred daily) and warehouse processing fees.
  1. All full containers must be picked up by a US-customs-bonded trucking company only from the port. You have 4 or 5 days from the date the port received your shipment(s) to pick it up; if you exceed 5 days, the port will charge you extra storage/demurrage per day. + per diem charges; it may also include go to go (general order warehouse) and other fees.

Importers are responsible before importing any items to the U.S. for all fees and US and international laws.
  3. Check duty or tax: HTC/HTS/harmonized tariff code or call and email U.S. Customs' import specialist team.
