At present, the logistics transportation with the largest domestic transportation demand is the American dedicated line. There are many American dedicated line freight companies in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places. Although everyone’s choice is relatively flexible, there are also many precautions for dedicated line logistics transportation, otherwise it will affect the transportation of goods.
How much do you know about the precautions for US dedicated line logistics?
1. Products prohibited from shipment by the U.S. dedicated line
There are many embargoed products on the U.S. dedicated line, mainly in three categories:
a Products prohibited from export by our country , this sentence mainly means that everyone must understand the relevant domestic regulations, otherwise the domestic customs clearance will not be passed;
b International transportation regulations prohibit the transportation of goods, generally such as firearms and ammunition, etc., because they involve Safety issues, so shipping is not supported;
c Imported goods are prohibited from the United States. Goods that are prohibited from being mailed require special attention from the seller, otherwise they may not be transported, and the general freight forwarding company will also notify you.
Sensitive commodities such as cosmetics, live products, and food must be transported through the dedicated line for sensitive goods so that the commodities can pass customs clearance better and avoid unnecessary problems.
The United States is particularly strict about the protection of intellectual property rights. Therefore, some counterfeit goods or brand-name products must not be transported. If discovered by U.S. Customs, they will be inspected and seized, and high tariffs will be imposed on such goods. .
2. U.S. Customs Tariffs
In the United States, the starting point for tariffs is US$200. If the value of your imported goods is less than US$200, the tariffs will be waived.
The specific tariff rate can be calculated as a percentage of the value of the goods or in US dollars/minute, generally ranging from 0% to 37.5%, with an average tariff rate of 5.63%; some products, such as electronic products, have been used for more than 100 years Original oil paintings and antiques are exempt from customs duties.
If the goods you declare are of higher value, the tariffs will also be higher. However, do not declare goods of lower value. If they are inspected by US Customs, high punitive tariffs will be incurred. Please also be careful not to intentionally split the same high-value goods into multiple batches worth less than US$800. This falls within the scope of leakage and will result in heavy fines and will also result in being blacklisted by the United States.
Of course, everyone must also choose a reliable freight forwarding company with strong customs clearance capabilities, so that the goods can be better transported to the United States and completed customs clearance.
At present, the US dedicated line is also a relatively mature mode of transportation. The freight is more timely and more stable. Compared with other modes of transportation, the cost performance is slightly higher, but everyone should also understand the above precautions. matters to avoid unnecessary trouble.
