  1. US Customs Data Can Help Your Export Business us-custom.blogspot.com/2021/06/us-customs-data-can-help-your-export.html US customs data is essentially the raw data from worldwide trade. It's used to rapidly analyze the real-time data in order to come up with the most accurate assessment of the price and quality of particular imports. Data acquired from US customs helps business owners in a variety of ways: assessing product pricing, implementing supply chain solutions, analyzing consumer behaviors, and more. Because US customs data are both comprehensive and frequently updated, they're indispensable for many businesses. But what if you need to acquire this information but you don't have access to US customs data centers? US customs warehouses hold imported goods that have been cleared by US customs agents and have been imported into the country. Importers can obtain their own US customs data on imported goods from US customs or from one of several online suppliers of customs data. However, not all importers have direct access to US customs data. Some importers purchase goods directly from distributors in China, Korea, or elsewhere. Others rely on third-party importers, like those described above. 1/3

  2. How to gain the most from exporting goods using customs? A few business function areas stand to gain the most from exporting goods using custom schedules. Businesses involved in the transportation and shipping of food are able to obtain raw material information directly from the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) database. They can also obtain sales and export data from the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) site. These third-party importers and distributors provide good value for money because they don't need to compensate the US government for the processing time required to access their databases. Businesses that need to obtain the most detailed information about international trade should consider outsourcing to a customs intelligence company. These companies can provide the kind of in-depth US customs data reports that importers normally have to pay for. For example, the types of international cargo that arrive in the US include 2/3

  3. passengers as well as goods, and the number of shipments increases annually. These private US importers are able to obtain the complete schedule of shipments to the US by purchasing custom importing software. What does the customs declaration requires? The customs declaration requirements vary among individual importers and among imported goods. Some importers have no minimum reporting requirements, while others require detailed information for each shipment. Importers with reporting requirements can benefit from the services of a customs broker. However, if your business is relatively small and you don't import that many items, then a free online importer database may be a better alternative. Many US importers find it useful to have an International Trade Division (ITD) professional in their firm working with them on customs issues. An ITD provides specialized knowledge and experience on customs, tariff classification, and us imports that can increase efficiency and save money. These professionals can help US importers achieve important goals such as implementing import strategies and achieving optimal rates. By having a US customs broker on their team, importers can also experience an important benefit that can have a big impact on their bottom line: increased sales. Private Label Products is commonly exported to non-US customers. An efficient system is one that allows you to send sample requests for the products you wish to market directly to these consumers. This process can be time consuming if you have to individually contact every company that might be willing to accept your request. If you choose to outsource to a third party or use a multiple-way PO, you can ensure that you are sending only requests that you know they will be interested in receiving. This means you will be more likely to receive offers to sell the product. Many US importers find that sending a request via email and then using a private label provider to create and assign a unique invoice number results in many more sales than if they had simply attempted to process the request through US customs. One can simply log into websites like importkey.com for the US customs data. 3/3
