The whole process and cost analysis of U.S. import customs declaration in 2025, a must-read for cross-border brand owners.

I just realized that the U.S. import customs clearance process is so critical! For Taiwan's cross-border brands and Amazon sellers, understanding the U.S. customs clearance process not only saves time, but also avoids unnecessary delays and additional costs. When you need to ship goods from Taiwan or around the world to the United States, customs clearance is an important part of the process that should not be overlooked.

During the entire U.S. customs clearance process, exporters are first required to sign a POA (Power of Attorney) to appoint a professional shipping company such as Ship2TW to assist with U.S. customs clearance. In addition, the importer must purchase a Bond and provide the U.S. consignee's Tax ID or IRS No. - these two are the basic requirements for U.S. Customs clearance, and you can't have one without the other!

The efficiency of the U.S. Customs is even more amazing than in other countries. Often, before a shipment arrives at a U.S. port, Customs has already decided whether to inspect or release it. In most cases, the U.S. Customs can complete the customs clearance process in about 3 days, with the maximum time being less than a week. For U.S. Customs clearance, you need to prepare the following key documents: B/L, Commercial Invoice, Packing List and Arrival Notice. It is worth noting that the consignee's information on these documents must be identical, or else you will need to prepare an additional cargo assignment letter for smooth customs clearance.

What's even more valuable is that once U.S. Customs issues a release notice through the Automated Maritime Manifest System (AMS), the ocean carrier will immediately notify the U.S. inland carrier to pick up the shipment, ensuring that your shipment arrives promptly at the designated location. For Taiwan cross-border sellers planning to expand into the U.S. market in 2025, it's important to understand these import regulations and processes.
