" Like many Amazon sellers, I didn't realize that my forwarder had been using the wrong description to import my products for years. This one little error was costing me over $16,000 per year in customs. The Tariff Terminator team was able to find the error and reclassify my product. As a result, my shipping costs went down significantly."
" Because my products are sold as a bundle, my freight forwarder didn't know which item in the bundle he should use to describe my products to on customs entry form. The Tariff Terminator team was able to fix this issue and classify my product correctly. This one change brought my shipping cost down by over $8000 on just one of my shipments"
A Tariff is a tax or duty you pay to the US government on every product you import into the U.S. Your Shipper or Freight Forwarder adds this tax to your freight cost every time he ships your products into the US.
The US Customs assigns a code to every product based on the product's description, materials/ingredients, application, function, chemical nature, dimensions, country of origin, and other complex parameters.
The problem is - most freight forwarders don't know how to describe your product correctly to the US customs. We've seen several products miscalssifed by freight forwarders which led to high tariffs (import duty). Not only do you pay high shipping cost if your forwarder incorrectly classifies your products, you may also get in trouble with the law with severe penalties.
Let's face it - your freight forwarder doesn't care if you pay high duty or not. Why should he? He's not the one paying!
Wrong description means unnecessary high import tax for you - You could be overpaying by thousands and not even know it. 80% of online sellers we talked to don't know what a tariff is and how much they're paying on every shipment.
That's Where We come in.
Our tariff experts audit your past shipping documents to find errors and fix them. A single error we fixed for a client resulted into savings of $215,000!
