Important Notice
AMAZON GEU3 has closed its warehouse, and Amazon officials suggest that GEU3's goods be allocated to GEU2&GEU5, so there is a risk of inventory explosion in these two warehouses.
With the recent imposition of a 20% tariff by the United States on China and a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum products worldwide, the US Customs has strengthened its scrutiny of imported goods, resulting in a significant increase in inspection rates. As a result, port congestion caused by inspections has become increasingly severe.
Strictly inspect the authenticity of the value of the goods. If the customs determines that the value of the goods is too low, a new declaration and additional taxes need to be made, and in serious cases, fines may be imposed. This also includes a strict examination of the authenticity of exemptions. If exemptions are applied instead of being applicable, there will be a significant risk of additional taxes. The inspection of the value of goods is the most frequent occurrence in recent times.
Strictly inspect sensitive items in e-commerce containers. The inspection risks of refrigerants, health drugs, food, etc. are increasing, and in severe cases, they may face full container return.
Strictly investigate goods subject to special agency supervision (FDA/EPA/CPSC/DOT/USDA, etc.). Goods subject to mandatory certification without relevant certification documents may face destruction and confiscation in the most severe cases.
Strictly investigate items that infringe intellectual property rights. Piracy, counterfeiting, and infringing imitations will be severely cracked down on, and serious cases will face full container destruction and fines.
Strictly investigate anti-dumping products. After inspection, anti-dumping goods need to be taxed, otherwise they will face the risk of return.
Suggestions for customs clearance in response to the above situation:
It is recommended to increase the declared value of goods and taxes appropriately, and use exemptions with caution.
Suggest strengthening the review of one's own goods to ensure compliance.
Try to avoid heavily congested ports and optimize logistics routes in advance (Norfolk, Baltimore, Seattle).
