The U.S. Customs is divided into two parts, namely, CBP and Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency, and the most common is CBP. The United States Customs has realized the unified management of personnel and goods entering the United States ports by one organization. CBP aims to integrate the management resources and management skills of port law enforcement departments, improve management efficiency and efficiency, and achieve the goal of using all available resources to protect and defend the United States from infringement while facilitating legal trade and legal travel.

Reasons for customs withholding in the United States:
1. The packing list is not clear
2. The name of the product and the product are not found by the customs
3. The value declaration is too low
4. Lack of FDA and Bluetooth certification
5. 90% of counterfeit and infringing products will be deducted
6. Special products: such as glasses, beauty equipment, medical equipment, Bluetooth products. The "FDA" is required for the import of these products into the United States. If these documents cannot be provided, they must not be imported
7. Anti dumping products: 80% of the products entering the United States will be stuck in the customs
8. The consignee has no right of import and export

The solutions for American customs to hold goods are as follows:

1. The declared value is too low: Generally speaking, it is no problem that the declared value is 20% lower than the actual value of the goods. If the customs thinks that the declared value is too low, some customs will ask you to declare the value again and make an invoice again, while some international customs will directly assess the value and collect customs duties by themselves! Entrust a freight forwarder with import and export rights and customs clearance ability, or you can find a local customs agent Customs clearance bank helps to clear the Customs separately.

2. The packing list is not clear: generally, Amazon computer will automatically generate the packing list, as long as it is printed and pasted as required, but we must remember that the packing list and label of products imported from the United States must be printed with the origin mark "made in China", otherwise it will be deducted or returned. If the goods are detained unfortunately, you can find a freight forwarder or a local customs broker who has the ability to clear the customs to help re paste the packing list with the origin mark, and some have to pay a fine to clear the customs.

3. Electronic products are lack of certification and suspected of infringing goods: once informed of the lack of certification information, they have been basically seized by the customs, and then the shipper or receiver will receive the notice of seizure from the customs. Within 30 days after receiving the letter, they must file a claim or provide evidence according to the reasons listed in the letter, otherwise they will be deemed as giving up the ownership of the goods. In general, you can find a local importer or a local law firm to help handle it.

4. The consignee has no right of import and export: it is generally recommended that the addressee should not write Amazon. Otherwise, if there is any problem in the follow-up customs, the customs will go to Amazon to deal with it, but Amazon will not act as the importer or the consignee of such inventory and make any reply, resulting in the destruction of the goods. In case of goods withholding, you can go to the local importer with import and export rights in the United States or register as a foreign importer in time.

5. Lack of certification: provide certification to local customs or go to customs clearance bank for certification
