- You can find detailed and up-to-date information on export and import requirements of more than 120 countries.
- Depending on your shipment content and the restrictions of the country you are exporting to, you will also need to obtain an export license or ECCN number following the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
- Vship Express also has specific requirements for what kind of products should be subject to additional shipping restrictions or restricted from shipping internationally.
- Examples include clay, switchblade knives, African ivory, and Kinder Surprise eggs.
- Some parties are also prohibited from accepting the shipment.
- You can check your recipient information with the tool in Vship Express Global Trade Manager to make sure you are not shipping to an unapproved parcel.
- If a valid export license is required to export your shipment or your shipment exceeds $ 1,500, the Electronic Export Information (EEI) must be entered through the Automated Export System (AES).
2. Determine the terms of sale & select a customs broker
- Customs brokers assist in clearing all kinds of customs duties on shipments without delay or holdups.
- If there is a problem, the broker of your choice will work on your behalf to resolve it.
- The seller (often the shipper/exporter) and the buyer (often the importer/buyer) must determine the terms of sale, also known as international trade terms.
- These terms specify where ownership is transferred from seller to buyer during shipping.
- The transfer point directly decides how much any party will pay, as well as insurance, clearance, broker selection, specific documentation obligations, and customs clearance after delivery.
- Vship Express International Services includes brokers for shipments with a declared customs value of $ 400,000 or less.
- However, both you and the shipment importer/recipient may choose your own non-Vship Express broker.
