Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This publication provides an overview of the importing process and contains general information about import requirements. This edition contains much new and revised material brought about because of changes in the law, particularly the Customs Modernization Act. The Customs modernization provisions has fundamentally altered the process by shifting to the importer the legal responsibility for declaring the value, classification, and rate of duty applicable to entered merchandise.

Chapters cover entry of goods, informed compliance, invoices, assessment of duty, classification and value, marking, special requirements for alcoholic beverages, motor vehicles and boats, import quotas, fraud, and foreign trade zones.



From the Publisher

In addition to the material provided by the U. S. Customs Service, the private commercial publisher of this book has provided a bonus chapter on how to build a tax-free import-export business.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive - little information, January 8, 2005
By K. Hall (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All of the information in this book is available through the US customs website. Don't waste your money.

The bonus chapter is a shameless plug for you to use the services of a couple Hong Kong firm's who the author apparently is associated with. Skip this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good primer, December 17, 2008
By R. Corr (New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you import you must have this book. It covers all the aspects and helps you understand the problems you will encounter. It isn't expensive, and it containes all the basic data you must know. It doesn't replace a good customs broker, but read it before you start importing.
