Tuesday February 16, 11:12 am Eastern Time SOURCE: U.S. Customs Service U.S. Customs Service WWW Update: 'Importing Into the United States' Now Available on Web WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- ''Importing into the United States,'' the 144-page publication popular with the international trade community, is now available in its entirety on the U.S. Customs Service Web site (http://www.customs.ustreas.gov). The 1998 edition contains new and revised material brought about by the Customs Modernization Act of 1993, which shifted the legal responsibility for declaring the value, classification and duty rate of imported goods to the importer. The section, ''Informed Compliance,'' details Customs role in informing the importer, and the importer's responsibility to use reasonable care to provide Customs with accurate and timely data. ''Importing into the United States'' provides a wealth of general information and provides an excellent overview of the importing process. However, since the specific circumstances of each import transaction differ, and laws and requirements change, it is not possible to cover every Customs law or regulation within its pages. Therefore, importers are asked not to rely solely on the information contained in the publication, but to contact their local port for further guidance. ''Importing into the United States'' is composed of 38 sections and ten categories entitled ''Customs Mission and Organization,'' '' Entry of Goods,'' ''Invoices,'' ''Assessment of Duty,'' ''Classification and Value,'' ''Marking,'' ''Special Requirements,'' ''Fraud,'' and ''Foreign Trade Zones.'' There also is an appendix listing additional information on invoices, Customs valuation, forms and other agencies. It is available on the Web at customs.ustreas.gov . SOURCE: U.S. Customs Service
