IMPORT
All merchandise coming into the United States must clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection and is subject to Customs duties, unless specifically exempted by law. Clearance involves a number of steps, which include inspection and appraisement.
Customs law may requires that duties be paid on goods entering the country, according to its official classification from a tariff schedule. A surety bond is required, and some types of goods must meet admissibility standards, with proper permits secured in advance by the importer.
