Enter goods and freight separately. Excluding freight from customs value requires an identifiable actual cost, supported by the carrier or forwarder. A seller estimate alone is insufficient.

Add only actual extra paid packing, assists or royalties required in customs value and absent from the goods price. The carrier quote must exclude duty and government fees. A courier total remains incomplete without its quote.

FAQs

Does this rate apply to every toys item?

0% MFN is not an exemption from every origin duty. Toys and games outside this subheading require classification.

Does shipping enter the customs value?

This model starts with a goods-only price plus required valuation additions. Actual, identifiable international freight supported by carrier/forwarder evidence is excluded from duty value and remains in landed cost. A seller estimate does not establish an allowable exclusion.

Which processing and carrier fees apply?

Fees depend on the entry date and procedure. Ordinary mail is generally exempt from MPF; non-EMS dutiable mail documented by CBP can incur a mail fee. Express-facility fees are paid by operators. Private carrier and formal-entry broker/bond charges require a quote.
