Importing goods from India and China to US?

7 views 2 answers
Hi, I would like to import goods from India and china to US. These might include fabrics, Kitchen ware, and some organic fruits (dry and fresh) and RIce? I would like to know, if there are taxes applicable on importing these items?, what does the tax amount depend on? Do I need to hire a custom clearance agent? Any source of information regarding custom clearance agents? Thanks.

You really need to consult with and hire a lawyer who does import export work. The relatively generic information in your post makes it difficult for anyone to provide specific answers. The legal fees you pay will be far less than what you will be faced with if you don't get it correct from the start. Use the lawyer finder tool here on to locate and hire a lawyer who you are comfortable with. Good luck

I think most of your concerns can be addressed by a competent freight forwarder. For more complicated issues in this regards a trade attorney might be needed. I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with. Best regards, Frank Natoli-Lapin, LLC
