Exports to the United States
Overview
Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) is the United States’ primary border enforcement organization and authorize and facilitate border trade between countries. Exports to the U.S. must go through this process before they can be cleared for importation.
When our customers send a unit for return or repair, FARO® has specific import procedures that have been implemented to remain compliant to the regulations, but also help ease the importing process for our customers and minimize the delays in customs.
Every export to the United States needs a commercial invoice for CBP to analyze what is being shipped. It is imperative that the information provided to the customer is relevant to what is being shipped to avoid clearance issues, post entry amendments, penalties, and fees. Please contact FARO Trade Compliance with any questions
