As an importer, there are three ways goods can be sent to you from abroad international postal service, a courier service, or freight carriers.

Your import will classify for one of two entries, an informal entry or a formal entry. Rules and regulations for both types of entries are extensive and can be complicated. Not knowing how to navigate your entry trough customs can result in expensive fines and costly delays. Because filing a formal entry can be complicated, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection recommends importers consider hiring a customs broker to complete the transaction.
