Causes that may lead to scrutiny:

Undeclared items that are not listed on a commercial invoice can result in substantial fines and significant impact.

The value is too low. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has recently conducted increased audits of FBA imports (CF28 and CF29).

The corresponding requirements are as follows:

The low value has attracted the attention of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency. Importers must provide bank payment certificates with suppliers and bank payment certificates with customers, as well as contracts and purchase orders.

Raise the value of the goods, even if the quantity is large, the value of each unit shall not be less than 0.001 cents.

Ensure no infringement. When receiving goods, it is necessary to determine whether the trademark is infringing, such as SGS.

The scene will wait in line to unload the cabinet and the frame will be taken away. On Saturday/Sunday LFD, there may be a detention fee due to insufficient frames. At present, the estimated time for lifting a cabinet has increased to 2-4 hours.

The railway station does not accept empty cabinets and returns them to different places.
