Importing through Great Lakes/Midwest

A licensed customs broker prepares the CBP entry, applies the correct HTS classification, and calculates the full stacked duty — base/MFN plus Section 301, Section 232, surcharge layers and AD/CVD where they apply. Getting the classification right up front is the importer’s responsibility, so most businesses hand the filing to a broker once more than the base rate is in play.
