I. Why do we need professional agency service price consultation?

As a core category in the industrial manufacturing field, pneumatic toolsfor containers exported to the USneed to face challenges such as complex customs clearance processes, tariff policies (such as HTS code classification), logistics solution design, and compliance certifications (such as FCC and UL standards). According to the statistics of the US Customs,about 23% of imported goods experience customs clearance delays or additional fines due to unprofessional declarations, and the accurate quotations from agency service providers can help enterprises:

1.Avoid hidden costs: Anticipate destination port charges (Duties, HMF, MPF), and the risk of anti - dumping duties (such as for some mechanical parts);

2.Optimize the Logistics Plan: MatchMaritime TransportationFull Container Load (FCL), Less - than - Container Load (LCL) orAir Transportationchannels according to the volume of goods and time - limit requirements;

3.Achieve compliance and cost reduction: Utilize China - US certificates of origin (such as FORM B) to achieve tariff reduction, with a maximum cost savings of 25% per shipment.
