U.S. Customs Compliance Support for Foreign Manufacturers & U.S. Importers
Exporting products to the United States can be complicated, especially when your U.S. buyer does not want to act as the importer of record or when CBP issues a notice. ExportstoUSA provides practical, real-world support to help foreign manufacturers, exporters, and U.S. importers comply with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rules, duties, and entry requirements. We work with manufacturers in many countries.
