🇺🇸 United States · Import & Export
Customs procedures, duties, de minimis thresholds, EORI/registration, and restricted goods.
Imports are administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP); exports of controlled items are regulated by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). Importers need an importer-of-record and correct HTS classification.
- Imports are declared to CBP, which assesses duties based on the goods' HTS classification and value.
- Export of controlled goods, software and technology may require a BIS license.
- Export shipments are typically reported electronically through the Automated Export System (AES).
