China is a major exporter of goods to the United States, and air freight provides a fast and reliable way to move products across the Pacific Ocean. Air freight can be faster and more reliable for shipping goods from China to the USA, particularly for smaller and more urgent shipments.
Do I need a customs agent to import?
There is no legal requirement for you to hire a Customs Broker to clear your goods. However, many importers opt to do so for the convenience. Customs Brokers are licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to conduct CBP business on behalf of importers.
