@YPYCLOGISTICS On delivered-duty-paid moves, check who is named as Importer of Record on the U.S. entry. Duties and entry accuracy still sit with that party, even when a forwarder quotes an all-in door price.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@FreightWaves Longer China lead times often push buyers to new origins. When you re-source, confirm the named Importer of Record and product codes still match the new supply chain before cargo moves.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@DiazTradeLaw Spot on. Antidumping and countervailing duty risk is not limited to a few product lines. Ask your broker to screen Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes against open orders before you book.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@gdlsk_llp New antidumping and countervailing petitions on China-origin wooden fence pickets mean the Importer of Record may owe those duties if orders land. Flag the product codes with your broker before the next booking.

Customs wants your input on a supply chain visibility proposal that could reshape what importers disclose at entry.

The Heightened Import Disclosures for Supply Chain Visibility advance notice (ANPRM) asks about naming more parties in the import chain, stronger business IDs, collecting foreign export docs that went to the overseas customs office, and tracing tech. This is still a request for comments, not a final rule.

If you bring goods into the U.S., the Importer of Record is usually the party Customs looks to for accurate entry data. Comments close Dec. 1, 2026 on https://t.co/1PpjmC7TOI, docket USCBP-2026-1058.

@ENERGY Let’s go!

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@ThiccQuidity @ThiccQuidity That’s the Entry Type 13 point. For international mail, the right to make entry still sits with the owner, purchaser, or a licensed broker acting as Importer of Record. A postal operator alone usually can’t fill that role.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@freightcaviar @freightcaviar Spot on. Since Sept 18, a voided Importer of Record number strands freight until you rebuild a clean Form 5106 file. Check name, EIN, address, phone, and email against what Customs has on file.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@ReidelLawFirm @ReidelLawFirm Trade fraud recoveries climb when entry data doesn’t hold up. Accurate Importer of Record details and product codes are the first line before any task force looks your way.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@FreightWaves @FreightWaves Rates staying high means boxes are still moving. When demand holds, double-check the named Importer of Record and product codes before the next booking, not after cargo hits the pier.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

Customs’ ACE system (Automated Commercial Environment) now has Entry Type 13 live for international mail. That’s the electronic informal entry path for postal packages $2,500 or under, including mail that used to ride under de minimis.

Who can file matters. Entry Type 13 is limited to the owner or purchaser of the goods, or a licensed customs broker they appoint. A consignee that isn’t the owner or purchaser (think USPS or a forwarder) needs a licensed broker acting as Importer of Record.

Quota, antidumping, or countervailing shipments still need a formal entry. Talk timing with your broker if mail is part of your inbound mix.

@SolarFred Same story for importers: Commerce watches Importer of Record volumes against historic averages. Blow past that and Customs can block further polysilicon entries until Dec 4.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@TXSES Important for solar importers. The volume caps attach to the Importer of Record, not just the factory abroad. Check your historic averages before you book another surge shipment.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@WileyRein Right call. The temporary rule aims at the Importer of Record on the books. If Commerce flags your volumes as stockpiling, Customs can stop further polysilicon entries for that IOR until Dec 4.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@FreightWaves Trade share moving to Mexico, Vietnam, and Taiwan doesn’t change who owes Customs on the entry. When you re-source, confirm the named Importer of Record and product codes still match the new supply chain.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

Customs just flagged a polysilicon stockpile crackdown that hits the named Importer of Record hard.

When Commerce tells Customs an IOR is bringing in way more polysilicon than its historic average, or a new IOR blows past weekly limits, that IOR is blocked from more entries of those products until Dec 4, 2026. Bonded warehouse is allowed. Consumption entry is not. Waiver path runs through Commerce.

That’s Customs message #69994928, tied to Proclamation 11052 ahead of the Dec 4 Section 232 polysilicon measures.

If you import solar-chain polysilicon, wafers, or cells, check volumes against your historic pattern with your broker now.

@MetroShipping @MetroShipping Blank sailings manage capacity. They don’t change who owes Customs for the entry when the box finally lands. Confirm the named Importer of Record before you book the next sailing.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@FreightWaves @FreightWaves Port closures hit schedules first, but the entry still has to clear when cargo finally moves. Keep the Importer of Record data current so a Form 5106 void doesn’t stack on top of weather delays.

[IOR USA 🇺🇸 @IOR_USA]

@KamilZonesmart @KamilZonesmart Spot on. When de minimis is gone, “who pays duty” still isn’t the same as who’s named Importer of Record on the entry. That name owes Customs a careful filing even if the buyer settles the invoice at the door.
