Import at the Lowest Possible Value
Restructure your import transactions to use the "first sale" between manufacturer and distributor as your dutiable value instead of your purchase price. This CBP-approved strategy can reduce your dutiable value by 20-40% with proper documentation and transaction structuring.
Our Process:
Transaction Analysis: Review your current supply chain and purchasing structure
Opportunity Assessment: Identify potential savings through first sale rule application
Documentation Strategy: Develop systems to capture and maintain required first sale documentation
Implementation Planning: Restructure transactions to qualify for first sale treatment
Compliance Systems: Establish ongoing processes to maintain first sale eligibility
CBP Coordination: Manage any CBP inquiries or audits related to first sale claims
