　　The main reasons and requirements for the recent customs inspection

　　Amazon

　　PART02

　　Reasons that may lead to a tight investigation:

　　Undeclared items that are not listed on the commercial invoice can result in hefty fines and significant impacts.

　　The value is too low. U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently conducted an increased audit of FBA imports (CF28 and CF29).

　　The corresponding requirements are as follows:

　　The undervalue has been brought to the attention of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and importers must provide proof of bank payment with the supplier and the customer, as well as contracts and purchase orders.

　　Raise the value of the goods, even if the quantity is large, and the value of each unit must not be less than 0.001 cents.

　　Ensure non-infringement. At the time of receipt, it is necessary to determine whether the trademark is infringing, such as SGS.

　　Pick-up and drop-off situation

　　PART03

　　Except for the following cities, the rest are currently on average for about 4 days, and the terminal is temporarily returning to normal.

　　Los Angeles

　　01 There is a shortage of pick-up and return appointments at major terminals, and pick-up appointments are often deleted.

　　Chicago

　　02 The train arrives in a centralized manner, and the shortage of frames is serious, so the truck needs to bring its own frame to pick up the cabinet.

　　The frame of the 45 was seriously missing.

　　After arriving at the Chicago yard, some of the cabinets had their seals cut and were out of stock.

　　Seattle

　　03 The dock will close the door every Friday, and it is impossible to pick up and return the container.

　　The dock lacked 45 frames.

　　Houston

　　04 The wharf is not empty, and there are more off-site returns

　　Atlanta

　　Beginning on March 19, the Norfolk Southern Austell train station in Atlanta will be restructured and will no longer provide frames. The convoy has to bring its own frame into the train station and wait for the container to be loaded on site. When the empty cabinet is returned, only the empty box is collected, and the on-site queue is waiting for the unloading of the cabinet and the frame to be taken away. In the case of Saturday/Sunday LFD, there is a possibility that there will be a detention fee due to the lack of sufficient frames. At present, the estimated time for lifting a cabinet has increased to 2-4 hours.

　　The railway station does not accept empty containers, and there are more remote returns.
