Re: I'm importing from China, Do I need a US bond? That is up to you. You can buy a bond for a full year and its like $400 that allows you to import i think up to 50K a year. If you dont have a bond, you have to pay what is called "Single Entry Bond" every time you import.
The cost of the Single Entry Bond is around $75 (up to 5K i think) every time you import plus the customs duties plus the customs broker fees.
If you are importing regularly or a big $$$ i certainly recommend a bond |
