Reducing Customs Value, First Sale Rule and More: How Importers Can Legally Reduce Duties

Tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. remain at historically high levels—and there is no indication they will be dropping anytime soon. Because most U.S. Customs duties are calculated as a percentage of dutiable value, importers have a real opportunity to reduce costs by legally lowering that value.

In this webinar, international trade attorney Bob Silverman of GDLSK will explain how to structure import transactions to minimize customs duties. The program will cover the fundamentals of U.S. value law and explore practical strategies for reducing dutiable value, including the First Sale Rule and the use of buying agents. Bob will also discuss how these approaches can be implemented effectively and in compliance with regulations.
