See All

Why do I have to report my shipment to CBP?

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the federal agency responsible for preventing illegal products from entering the country and collecting duties due on legal products entering the country. No product can enter the United States without the permission of CBP. CBP is the largest federal law enforcement agency in the United States and is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security.

Are my shipments subject to any other government agencies?

Possibly. It mostly depends on what you are importing. There are several Partner Government Agencies (PGA) that coordinate with Customs and Border Protection to carry out the individual missions of those agencies. As your licensed Customs Broker, C J will review all the products that you import, and will help you determine if they are subject to the regulations of any PGA’s.

Why do I need a Customs Bond?

A Customs Bond is an insurance policy that guarantees the payment of all duties and taxes due to CBP on an import shipment. All import entries valued over $2500 must be accompanied by evidence that a bond has been posted with CBP to cover any potential duties, taxes, and charges that may accrue. An importer can choose to purchase a Single-entry bond or a Continuous bond. A Continuous Bond (also known as an Annual Bond) is almost always the most cost-effective option, especially because it also fulfills an importer’s obligations to have an Importer Security Filing (ISF) bond on file. C J can help you determine which kind of bond is best for your company, and get your bond posted with CBP.

What is Duty Drawback?

Duty Drawback is a refund (up to 99%) of duties, taxes, and fees on eligible merchandise that is exported or destroyed within 5 years of importation into the United States. It is an underutilized opportunity to save claimants thousands of dollars, with upwards of 2 billion dollars going unclaimed annually. C J International has specialized knowledge of duty drawback and can help you discover if your company is eligible for the program, as well as guide you in processing your drawback entries.

What are Incoterms®?

International Commercial terms (“Incoterms®” for short) are a set of three-letter standard trade terms used in international contracts for the sale of goods. Incoterms are widely used in international and domestic commercial transactions, and are essential to understand prior to a shipment. Which terms you and your seller/buyer agree upon will define the responsibilities each party has for the delivery of goods under sales contracts.

The Incoterms® Rules are protected by copyright owned by ICC. Further information on the Incoterms® Rules may be obtained from the ICC website iccwbo.org.
