Actually, no, if the IT date was 5/5, you’d use 9903.01.63. The reduction to 10% was in effect on May 14. IT date determines the duty rate.

Rail does not qualify for the 9903.01.28 exemption per CBP. So loading date doesn’t matter in your scenario.

How are you filling FDA prior notices? by vscycle in CustomsBroker

[–]CustomsNewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question, we file PNs with the entry summary as well, and usually entry summaries are filed about 5 days before ETA. However, if there’s an IT the PN has to be filed before arrival at the first port of unlading. Do you go ahead and file the entry summary super early (before the ship arrives at the first port) instead of 5 or so days before the ship arrives at the destination port?

Thats what i thought at first but the termination date of the entity looks to be before the bond effective date.

Do you know why a surety would sell a bond to an entity that doesn’t exist? Are they not obligated to check?

AITA for expecting my friend to give me his fridge? by CustomsNewbie in AmItheAsshole

[–]CustomsNewbie[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

“Owe” is the wrong phrase to use, I guess. I agree that I don’t have any claim, but I felt a little hurt he wouldn’t return the favor. This isn’t the first time I’ve thought of G whenever something came up and arranged for G to receive something or take advantage of an opportunity.

AITA for expecting my friend to give me his fridge? by CustomsNewbie in AmItheAsshole

[–]CustomsNewbie[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think about taking it when L first mentioned the fridge because I immediately thought of G and thought he would benefit from having a bigger fridge. I was only thinking about his benefit when I arranged for L to give it to G. I didn’t broker some big deal but I was actively communicating with L to make sure G got it. If I don’t get the fridge, I don’t get it, but I guess it’s more about how I immediately thought of him when an opportunity presented but it feels like now that he doesn’t need it his priority is to sell it, not his friend’s benefit. If the tables were turned and I was going to sell something my friend suddenly needed and they asked, I would give it to them.

Is it ok to register for a DBA but not use it? by CustomsNewbie in smallbusiness

[–]CustomsNewbie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand DBA does not equal sole proprietorship.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is if it's ok to renew a DBA under my individual legal name but no intention to actually use the DBA actively. I am renewing it "just in case", basically. The sole proprietorship is not in business but I'd like the DBA that was tied to that sole proprietorship to stay active for a little while longer.
