Us import customs clearance knowledge
I. 2,000USD-50,000USD mode
If the declared value of a single ticket exceeds 2,000USD but does not exceed 50,000USD, the U.S. consignee's TAXID(Tax Registration number/Federal tax number) or ITIN(Individual Tax number) or EIN(Employer Identification number) must be indicated on the shipping invoice.。If the recipient is an individual, SSN(Social Security Number) is required
Note: The TAXID, ITIN, or EIN number is a 9-digit number, such as 98-0500627。
2. The way of exceeding 50,000USD
If the declared value of a single shipment exceeds 50,000USD, the TAXID of the US consignee must be provided on the shipping invoice, and there must be a customs clearance attorney signed by the consignee.。
In fact, they were not so strict in the past。If it is shipped by sea, only the bondnumber needs to be provided to the US Customs, and the TAXID of the consignee is not required。
When our customers send express packages from China to the United States by air, and the declared value of the goods exceeds 2,000USD, the Courier company rarely asks us to provide EIN or ITIN and other relevant documents。Although it seems strange to us。
