Non-Resident Importer Program
If you want to sell your goods in U.S. marketplaces, but you are a business owner located outside of the U.S. and do not have an entity or presence in the U.S., you need to be established as a Foreign Importer of Record before your goods can be imported into the U.S.
Expanding your physical presence in the U.S. may be a lucrative but costly decision you may make. However, there is no need to establish a physical presence in the U.S. We can help you to expand your business without being established physically in the U.S.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) allows a non-resident corporation to act as an Importer of Record (IOR) for shipments of merchandise from the foreign country to the U.S. for sale if applicable regulatory requirements and procedures are followed.
-
As is the case for all resident importers, a non-resident importer must also obtain a customs bond.
-
To apply for your customs bond, you need to be established as a Foreign Importer of Record and obtain a Customs Assigned Importer Number (CAIN).
-
According to the Customs regulation, your company must also have an agent in the state where the port of entry is located that serves as a resident agent in the U.S. on behalf of the foreign corporations. This requirement is typically met by appointing a licensed customs broker, who may be already authorized by power of attorney to apply for a customs bond and file the customs declaration with U.S. Customs on your behalf.
If you plan to sell your product via the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) service, please note that an IOR is required when FBA shipments enter the United States from foreign country. Amazon will not act as an IOR for any shipment of FBA. Therefore, you need to be established as a Foreign Importer of Record and obtain a Customs Assigned Importer Number (CAIN).
We can help you to get your CAIN and customs bond, and to deliver your products to FBA warehouses duty & tax paid on time.
