I have a question for anyone in the membership who imports shoes. I have a buyer at my company who is importing a few pairs of shoes with fabric bottoms. These shoes were previously imported without fabric bottoms. The problem for me is that these shoes are clearly intended to be worn outdoors, not indoors. […]
Does anyone use or know of HTS and/or ECCN classification software that systematically “walks you through” the classification process until the appropriate classification is determined?

We’ve been following the directive issued by CBP in June 2005 that states items that are utilitarian or functional don’t qualify and festive articles need to be purely decorative. However, based […]

We stock in a outside warehouse which then assembles kits of 1′ lengths with 2 end caps, labels (US), gaskets (US), instructions (US) and packaging (US) . I am classifying these as […]
