Is there a negative aspect of Custom rulings in US?
Custom rulings in US to importers can be seen as unfavorable. It may seem that Customs & Border Protection (CBP) is imposing heavy restrictions over the product you are importing or pose a heavy duty rate more than what is expected. But it’s not the actual truth. You may have heard about fellow importers that the custom asks for a duty rate of 5% for their product for instance which is double with what they have calculated. Still, they were hesitant in requesting a ruling. Some others may have also claimed that sudden high duty rates over the products which they had been importing as free of any custom duty is the tricks of Custom authority to show that they are doing their work well. But it can’t be the truth.
The better understandable & actual fact is that if you are incorrect in classification of your products with which duty rates may vary, it will be noticed by the CBP at some point of time. And you are caught with higher duty rates. They will then start their enquiry in a casual tone, may issue a request for information from Customs & until the time you know that you are incorrect, you will be made to confront audits with unpaid duties & penalties of incorrect computation or classification of products. Whether you should request for a custom ruling in US then becomes a uneasy task.
So, it would be better to forward with correct classification from the very start as the risk of not adhering to the correct path is very high & oppressive. Also at the time of requesting a custom ruling in US, you will not be given any pleasant front from the customs’ side to get the correct duty rate & classification for your product. However, you can take help from export-import advisors who will represent on your behalf & handle all the related stuff. They will continue with their researches related to your case, sort out things with regulations & also handle custom rulings published previously so that your product can be classified in the rightmost provision.
