Michael S. Cooke, CHB will thoroughly research your products admissibility requirements before importation. US Customs Attorneys charge up to $400/hr for this service. And the overwhelming majority of Customs Attorneys have no hands on experience with the actual clearance process. This changes from port to port.
First time importers should not rely on US Customs for duty rates, or other admissibility advise. US Customs Regulations and the Modernization Act dictate that they cannot be held accountable for any advice given to an importer.
