The main reasons and requirements for the recent customs inspection
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
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
There is a shortage of pick-up and return appointments at major terminals, and pick-up appointments are often deleted.
Chicago
The train arrives in a centralized manner, and the shortage of frames is serious, so the trucks need to bring their own frames to pick up the cabinets.
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
The dock will close the door every Friday, and it is impossible to pick up and return containers.
The dock lacked 45 frames.
Houston
The dock is not empty, and there are more off-site returns
Atlanta
Starting March 19th, the Atlanta Norfolk Southern Austell train station 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.
Norfolk
The congestion at the terminal is very serious, and the time for picking up and returning containers increases.
