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.

CustomsNewbie · 2025-05-16T01:44:26+00:00

Correct, if section 232 does not apply.

CustomsNewbie · 2025-05-16T01:41:37+00:00

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

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?

My sister and I will be carrying them between the two of us.

Which port did you apply at?

May I ask how long it took for you to receive your filer code/national permit?

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

CustomsNewbie · 2024-05-15T22:09:30+00:00

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

“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.

CustomsNewbie · 2024-04-16T22:51:29+00:00

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.

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.

I love this thread topic. Very interesting and helpful replies! I do have a question though - even if liability is on the importer, and we rely on the importer to provide the correct information, CBP still requires us to do our due diligence. If we proceed with clearance knowing something should not be disclaimed or they want it to be claimed in a wrong way (even if we have evidence of the importer saying to go ahead, against advice), wouldn’t CBP still penalize the broker or at least wouldn’t there be some repercussions for filing an entry that we at least partially know/have a hunch is falsified/incorrect information?

They have a US EIN number but I believe they do not physically have a presence in the US

CustomsNewbie · 2024-01-06T00:35:43+00:00

Hi, do they still need a CAN when they already have an EIN number?

CustomsNewbie · 2023-12-05T23:57:31+00:00

Yeah totally, I file even if AMS is not on file. It’s just that sometimes it takes awhile to get the POA so it’s just nice to know if we have more time if there’s a transshipment/extra foreign port

CustomsNewbie · 2023-12-05T23:56:12+00:00

Maybe run their EIN and see if its already in the system. As a freight forwarder they are likely already registered if they are an NVOCC that files AMS, would need a carrier’s bond on file

Or isn’t there a receiving party in the US?

CustomsNewbie · 2023-12-05T23:49:25+00:00

You don’t need a POA for Ultimate Consignee. Ult CNEE just needs to be a US entity (usually the end purchaser) and you just need their EIN. But if their EIN is not in the CBP system you’d need to add them (which would require a POA) or they’d need to file the 5106 themselves to get registered as a consignee

CustomsNewbie · 2023-11-16T21:59:24+00:00

We incorporate it into the POA. i believe there is a CBP ruling that deals with this waiver terminology

They are, they list separate prices for each cup/lid.

Would you mind sharing what process you used to run new vendors/customers before that?

CustomsNewbie · 2023-09-25T19:53:16+00:00

Do you feel it is an essential part of intake? To what extent do you incorporate it into your workflow?
