Custom duties: a strategic approach
Article Abstract:
Companies engaged in international commerce can exploit opportunities to lower custom duties. They should integrate customs avoidance strategies involving the use of deductions, credits, and exemptions into their overall strategic planning for the distribution, transportation and manufacturing of goods. The invoice price is the transaction value for merchandise to be liable to duty, but many of the price elements in the invoice price are not liable for duty, including commissions, royalties, and specific post-importation charges. Companies can take advantage of variable duties offered by offshore production in countries with tariff preference treaties with the US. In addition, foreign trade zones offer the companies opportunity to defer duty payments and exploit the inverse tariff principle.
