Import Duty

“Import duty is a government-imposed tax levied on goods and merchandise brought across international borders into the United States, collected by customs authorities at ports of entry.”

Import duties directly impact the cost of foreign goods entering domestic markets, affecting pricing strategies and profit margins for businesses that rely on international trade. These tariffs can be imposed as fixed amounts per unit or as percentages of the goods' declared value.

When federal agencies implement import duties without proper legal authority or procedural compliance, affected businesses may have grounds to challenge these actions. TariffCounsel helps small businesses navigate complex trade regulations and pursue legal remedies when government agencies exceed their statutory powers.
