### What changes for a foreign importer of recordFour changes: entries, bonds, minimums, the “US” test

**No informal entries**

Foreign importers of record lose the simpler entry type used for low-value shipments.

RSM · Sidley · Passport

**Continuous bonds only if CBP agrees**

CBP must be satisfied that revenue is protected. The importer must also be CTPAT-validated, or file through a CTPAT-validated licensed customs broker. (CTPAT is CBP's supply-chain security program.)

RSM · Passport

**Higher bond and asset minimums**

For every importer of record, with wider disclosures: expected volumes, ownership, affiliates and US assets.

RSM · Sidley

**A stricter test for “US”**

A US importer is organized under US law, located in the US, and controlled by US citizens or permanent residents. A US company owned from abroad may still count as foreign.

### Three ways to keep importingIncluding when you don't need us

**Qualify yourself**

US assets, a larger bond, and CTPAT validation or a CTPAT-validated broker. Suits importers that already have real US operations.

What this page offers **Use a US importer of record**

Our preferred partner warehouse in Newark acts as importer of record and receives the goods, so the entry and the stock sit with one party.

**Hand the import to a US buyer**

A US distributor or retailer imports and owns the stock. Simpler paperwork, but you give up control of price and customer.

How it works

## One partner holds the entry and the stock.

We check our preferred Newark partner first; any other warehouse only with your yes. When the importer of record is also the warehouse, the paperwork and the pallets meet at the same dock.

**Tell us what you ship**

Product, origin and how it travels. A real person replies within one business hour (09:00–18:00 ET, Mon–Fri), and your quote follows within one business day.

**Your importer of record files the entry**

The preferred partner acts as importer of record, and its licensed customs-broker partner files the entry, often before the ship docks. Duties are paid at entry, not at your customer's door.

**Released, received, live**

Received and live in 2 business days after customs release, guaranteed. Then it ships to your customers, to Amazon or to US retailers.

Pick3PL is not a customs broker and does not file entries. We introduce you to the preferred partner, which does the importing through its licensed broker.

Questions

## Before you send a shipment

### We already have a US company. Does EO 14411 affect us?

It may. Under the order, a company counts as a US importer of record only if it is organized under US law, located in the US, and controlled by US citizens or permanent residents. A US subsidiary owned from abroad may still be treated as foreign. Tell us how yours is set up and we'll include it in the review. This is general information, not legal advice.

### Who does what, and what do you need from us?

Our preferred partner warehouse acts as importer of record and its licensed customs-broker partner files the entry. You supply accurate commercial invoices, packing lists and product details, because the entry is built from them. Pick3PL makes the introduction; it does not file entries itself.

### What will it cost?

Every quote is private. It depends on your products, where they ship from, how they travel and how often. Send the form and you get a quote within one business day.
