- April 2, 2025 Duty Changes: Be aware of the upcoming duty changes on April 2, 2025.
- Consult a Customs Broker: Highly recommended. A customs broker can provide expert guidance on classification, valuation, compliance, and clearance procedures. They can also help you navigate the complexities of US import regulations.
