SUGGESTIONS TO THE EXPORTER
FOR FASTER CLEARANCE OF YOUR MERCHANDISE:
1.
Include all information required on your customs invoices.
2.
Prepare your invoices carefully. Type them
clearly. Allow sufficient space between
lines. Keep the data within each column.
3.
Make sure that your invoices contain the
information that would be shown on a
well-prepared packing list.
4.
Mark and number each package so it can be
identified with the corresponding marks
and numbers appearing on your invoice.
5.
Show a detailed description on your invoice of
each item of merchandise contained in
each individual package.
6.
Mark your goods legibly and conspicuously with
the country of origin unless they are
specifically exempted from country-of-origin marking requirements, and
with such other marking as is required
by the marking laws of the United States.
Exemptions and general marking requirements are detailed in Chapters 29
and 30.
7.
Comply with the provisions of any special laws
of the United States that may apply to
your goods, such as laws relating to food, drugs, cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, radioactive materials, and others.
(See Chapters 33, 34 and 35.)
8.
Observe the instructions closely with respect to
invoicing, packaging, marking, labeling,
etc., sent to you by your customer in the United States. He or she has probably made a careful check of the
requirements that will have to be met when
your merchandise arrives.
9.
Work with CBP to develop packing standards for
your commodities. 10. Establish sound
security procedures at your facility and while transporting your goods for shipment. Do not give narcotics
smugglers the opportunity to introduce
narcotics into your shipment.
10. Consider shipping on a
carrier participating in the Automated Manifest System (AMS).
11. If you use a licensed
customs broker for your transaction, consider using a firm that participates in the Automated Broker
Interface (ABI).
