Frequently asked questions

What should I know about importing goods into the United States?

You will typically need a US customs bond, an ISF (10+2) filing before ocean cargo departs, and product-specific clearances such as FDA prior notice for food or FCC authorisation for electronics. Duty rates follow the HTSUS by HS code, with Section 301 tariffs adding cost on many China-origin goods.

Which US regions host the main manufacturing clusters?

Automotive and machinery concentrate in the Midwest (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana), aerospace and defence span Washington State and the Southeast, and technology centres on California, Texas, and the Boston corridor. The Gulf Coast anchors petrochemicals and refining.

How do US buyers typically vet overseas suppliers?

US procurement teams place heavy weight on product liability insurance, third-party lab certifications (UL, NSF), and clear IP ownership before onboarding. Many also require compliance attestations covering forced-labour rules under the UFLPA for goods with any China nexus.
