<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 26133306, member: 102022&quot;]When a commercial entity imports goods from abroad they must file CBP Form 7501: Entry Summary.</p><p><br /></p><p>This form, filed by the entity receiving the cargo container will detail the:</p><p>Name/address of the importer</p><p>Name/address of the country of origin</p><p>Detailed contents of container</p><p>Any additional info required by CBP</p><p><br /></p><p>From the port of entry the CBP will do a Non Intrusive Inspection (NII) by means of x-ray, radiation detection and/or NACIS which uses gamma ray technology. If there is any discrepancy between the Form 7501 and the NII the container will be transferred to a Customs Exam Site (CES) for a physical exam/inspection. At the CES the container will be devanned by an authorized CBP agent for intensive cargo inspection.</p><p><br /></p><p>These procedures, if the initial NII process isn&#039;t clean and by the book, can add lots of delay/time to the container making its way to its final destination.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also contend that any disparity in the duties initially paid at declaration and the final tariff levied after the physical inspection would red flag that importer and shipper of origin for future shipments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
