[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8896593, member: 683408"] Poor attempt at deflection. And it shows even more that you have no clue what you are talking about. Anyone who brings product into the US is an importer. You don't need a tax ID, you don't need to be incorporated, you don't need an LLC, you don't have to get a shipping container full, or a pallet full of goods. Bring ONE item in, and you are an importer: 19 CFR § 101.1(l) defines an importer as the [I]"[U]person primarily liable for the payment of any duties[/U] on the merchandise, [U]or[/U] an authorized agent acting on his behalf."[/I] When I order a single c/f bike frame from overseas and it arrives here at CBP, I am the IMPORTER and I will have to pay the IMPORT TARIFF before they release the bike to me. Hint for the uninitiated: "CFR" means "Code of Federal Regulation".[I] "In the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_United_States']law of the United States[/URL], the [B]Code of Federal Regulations[/B] ([B]CFR[/B]) is the codification of the general and permanent [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_law']regulations[/URL] promulgated by the executive departments and agencies of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States']federal government of the United States[/URL]."[/I] This means that the definition of "importer" is not some [I]"leftist interpretation of words to make Trump look bad"; [/I]it is Federal LAW.
